Angel, kiss me dangerous {w.blue_angel}
the second time I saw her, she was in a police lineup
about a week after the first time, when she had me at
the business end of a long, slim switchblade. she
figured I was too drunk to resist. I could’ve wrestled the
pig sticker away from her, but I wasn’t bothered by the
knife; it was her eyes that killed me.
green eyes, angel-green & wicked. greener than a stack
of uncirculated ben franklins. she lifted a few bucks & my
gold watch from me, in the alley behind the bar where I
picked her up. or vice versa.
the greasy detective chewed his cigar & said, ‘you finger
this dame & we’ll send her up the river, Cody.’ what could
I say? my fallen angel had fallen far enough, so I lied &
walked away. away from those dangerous eyes that I
couldn’t live without…

My days had become long, hungry nights.
Nights that were painted viscously under vampire moons.
And the picturesque sunsets I chased were nothing more
than the twinkling twirls of tassels on neon tits.
This city loved getting the chance to slap me around,
and tonight it's by the way of, line-up lights in front of
a two-way mirror... I could feel his distant eyes on me.
Let him finger me good, I could use the rest and warm meal.
When the boys said you are free to go,
A half smile crawled over my lips, like a day old thrill.
No rest tonight, Baby, I whispered to myself.
He was danger in the third degree,
his cool breath made me antsy that night.
I had to shake em' hard and quick,
this one threatened to storm my gates.
My gates of.... No, I refuse to say it!
I don't believe in love anymore.
Perhaps, one dark day, I'll return to him, his piece of golden time...

Mercy. JohnFeddeler and blue_angel, luvs :-*!
This thing is gorgeous, and though it's not fairytale ending, it's abundantly hopeful in its own way. I really rejoice in that.
You've both crafted a gorgeous, glorious thing here, luvs... :-*
