a tale of two cities  ↬ @celestialfail

there’s a moment of dread, a moment of lingering between two distant voices that cling to hallow flesh as her eyes lull towards another shell of a human that convinces themselves they’re just as deserving for her gaze. still, orbs wonder around for a conversation that isn’t as dry as the paint that adorned her walls because of the impulse for something to spark the flame that was once ever so present beneath her rib cage. instead, it had become a burden, a mechanism that keeps her basic functions afloat just for her to experience another mundane conversation, another dread of words.  there was once a time where it ignited herself, penniless objections were diamonds in her eyes and the world was her oyster. 

the most excitement she had received was about a week ago, monstrous eyes gazing back at her with a hunger she had known all too well. it was a look of survival, a gaze intense enough it had warranted pity for the animal that seemed trapped in its skin, living out a shell of a life without much of end in sight. breaking from her thoughts she gives the other a smile and evicting herself from the conversation. 

tender legs move themselves to the other end of the dinner hall, making way for an alcoholic beverage to keep her afloat when her body collides with another, skin against skin despite the thin fabric draped against her limbs. her lip curls at the other, a reflect before she has enough mind to process the other body in front of her. 

“can you watch where you’re going? this is a twenty thousand dollar dress,” she grumbles as she sets the glass down before registering the face within her sights. he’s different this time-- clothed with eyes the color of chocolate and face much different than the last. innocent. fresh. “oh,” the raised lip lowers itself as she fixes the wrinkles of her dress. “it’s you. you’re wearing clothes.”
