This girl will self-destruct in 5,4,3,2,1.....

Silence.

A soft giggle.

A light poke in the side.

Still silence.

A frown, just a light crease between her eyes.

Flash

"You're gonna get your first wrinkle right there Sweetpea."

Flash

Biting strawberry, kiss-bruised lips. "Hey. I was only jok-"

"Shhh. Just go to sleep,"

Restless, too much weight on a thin shoulder.

A sleepy grumble. A tighter grip.

"Sleep"

But she cannot close her eyes.

Flash

A red scrap of lace. A shrug. A smile

Flash

Withdrawal, indifference

Flash

"You think too much. Just enjoy it"

Flash

Lonely nights, gut-wrenching tears

Flash

Fighting to stay together, staying only to fight him

Flash

Longing to understand him, to understand us

Flash

"You are self destructive"

Flash

"Your fantasies are getting in the way of our happiness"

Flash

Begging him to stay

Flash

"I am not the man you need"

Flash

Doing this dance again

Flash

I cannot get out of my head

Flash

Lying here next to him, this girl will self-destruct in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....
