Read me

A bottle in one hand and a steering wheel in the other. 

Delicate fingers occupied, I hold your heart in my teeth. 

Palpitations undoubtedly caused by your fear of abandonment nearly break my jaw.

"Don't you worry dear."

I bite down harder. 

I adjust the wheel, turning ever so slightly to the left. 

My tires are now grazing the reflectors.

The light bouncing keeps me awake as I take another drink. 

And another. 

My mind wanders and I forget where I am. 

I forget the color of your eyes.

I forget to readjust the wheel.

The semi tries to swerve at the last second, but its too late. 

Horns blare, and my focus is recaptured.

I clench my teeth, preparing to face the inevitable. 

I taste blood. 

I breathe in, and remember the color of your eyes. 

I breathe out and bite clean through. 

Fade to black.
