to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

although this wasn’t uncharted territory, dracula found himself in the midst of a love triangle. he had been in this situation before (at least 100 years ago) and knew the trouble he was headed for.

he met the unicorn in his undead youth. he was fascinated with her and they both fell hard and fast. she didn’t mind that he wasn’t technically alive and he was familiar with the supernatural. it was the most innocent and settled he had felt in many centuries. he was content. the unicorn softened dracula’s rough edges. she really knew him. they were at home with the comfort they shared. secretly, they were blissfully happy.

a decade had passed, their love constant and consistent. the same, not entirely ever-changing. dracula felt a restlessness rising. the unicorn felt it too. frightened, she ignored it (or maybe just pretended that she didn’t see it). “this will pass,” she prayed.

dracula started to talk about the new zombie at the office, a lot. the unicorn saw a light in his eyes that once burned only for her. she was supportive, but suspicious. but in reality, the unicorn knew she was fucked.

because everyone knows that zombies can’t resist unicorn flesh and sooner or later, the unicorn would be dinner.

sunday blues

dracula drank some scotch and took a muscle relaxer. he needed some quiet, a small escape. “i’ll pull myself together tomorrow,” he thought.

And just for today, he went away.

the ghost girl is lost without her ghost boy
but realizes that the difference between pain and love is time

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

The ghost girl was duped by a she-wolf in (really bad second-hand store) sheep's clothing. Take caution ghost boy, that she-wolf sheep runs around with more than one wolf pack.

I'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to me
I'm not calling you a thief, just don't steal from me
I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me
And I love you so much, I'm gonna let you kill me

broken hearted, tears streaming
her heart fractured and beyond repair
sad ghost girl
paranoid and insecure
her mantra of the month

ghost boy gives it all away
wasted on a hollow harlot
loving the attention
craving the chaos

everything she touches dies alone
coward courtesan
stealing because she can
manipulate and calculate
the destruction of something good and pure

ghost girl learns to find comfort in her tears
tears don't lie, but ghost boys do

lonely ghost
alone with an ache inside her lifeless chest
swallowing reality like a bitter pill
praying for numb

please just love me
even
if
I'm
never
enough

clandestine

ghost girl sat chain smoking
puff, puff, puff

desperation lingered in the air much longer
and she had stopped trying to convince herself otherwise

day old mascara
thick smudges smear across the pillow

whiskey and the cure
If they could see me now
They'd never believe it

go cry in the corner ghost girl
no one here gives a shit
