Sterile Hunger — Ayuna Dark Verse (Diary Entry 4) | The Bloody Tulip

I held your heart once,
Warm and fragile in my hands,
A bird trying to escape
Between my fingers.
And I saved you, Gabriel,
Not for her,
Not for her easy laughter
Or her careless way of loving you,
But because I couldn’t let you slip away.

The hunger came after.
Jealousy like fire
Burning through everything I thought I had under control.

She leans close to you now,
Touches your hand like it’s nothing,
But she’s never touched
What I have touched—
The raw, desperate pulse of you dying,
The intimacy of your blood on my gloves,
The moment between gone and breathing
When you were only mine.

I crave that moment still.
The sterile hum of machines,
The silence before your heart remembered how to beat,
The power of holding life
In the palm of my hand.

What is love anyway,
If not this?
Possession wrapped in mercy,
Ownership disguised as salvation.
I smile at you both,
Play the part they need to see,
But beneath my lips
A darker truth is sharpening:

What I save, I own.
And Gabriel,
I saved you.

The wolf is done waiting.
