Brown-Eyed Beauty

Devin Derian

I stared into those mocha brown eyes and got lost in your bubbly charisma and radiant smile. That damn, radiant smile that melts the hearts of all those who inevitably look. Since that moment I have become your servant, your captive, the person you begrudgingly confide in because you know that no one else will listen. I’ve heard your struggles and have experienced your pains, so when your nails came crawling up my chest, I let my guard down. I thought that you loved me, I thought those youthful lips wanted mine, but I was wrong. You kicked me in the chest. I felt my back shatter against the ground; mud splattered everywhere. I was immobilized by the fantasy you created. You untied your bun and let your black curls sway. When you came closer I could smell the peach lip balm pressed against my neck. Your fangs dug deep into my throat, blood spewing across your face. All you did was smile, revealing that hypnotizing grin. I’d never felt so loved.

All I could see were those dark, beautiful brown eyes and thinking: What an angel, Oh, my devil.

I give myself permission to finally move on.
