These Eternal Bones

Her- Stowing away on the nearest vessel wasn’t the best plan when I left everything I’d ever known in the middle of the night.

Promising the captain coin I did not possess only drove the nail deeper into my coffin.

The moment a storm knocks us off course, damaging the ship, I run.

But There’s more than meets the eye in the foggy town of Port Clyde, its onyx lighthouse standing like a beacon, or a warning.

Him- Many things can be said about eternity.

Soul binding love squandered life and life again by elephantine heartache.

So I wait, trapped in this godforsaken town by a long dead coven.

I wait, unable to follow, unable to bleed every corner of the earth in search of her.

This time when she finds her way back.

I will keep her safe, alive, mine, even if she hates me. But what a beautifully gilded cage it will be.
