You know that feeling, of your head pounding? The taste of salt on your lips from the tears you thought you had simply imagined? I felt only that as the chilly droplets singed my skin. It was a remarkable fire that knew no measurable heat.
I felt right at home among the looming shadows of the trees. Streetlights were the only thing I needed. Tonight, there was no moon. No stars. But, as long as I could see, I was safe. Demons lurk in every corner, and angels await for us. Sloppy seconds.
My bare feet ached from the thoughts running through my mind. Yet, it was nothing compared to the quickness of my feet. The wings protruding from my heels were useless in that moment. I had never felt more dead. Inevitable peril.
God's gift in the end was useless, alas I fled. I fled the home in which I had a roof over my head, shelter, water- where I was fed. Because life isn't always about where you want to go. It's about who the fuck you want to get away from.
For me, it was the moral of my soul.
