This War Paint
Listen
“Tell me,” I traced a finger around the barbed wire ink on his upper arm “tell me what they all mean.”
“You know that’d take forever. I’ve got over fifty of them.”
I moved my hand away to rest my head upon it, taking a long look at Fraser’s body sitting rigidly on my bed. If Dad came upstairs he would have a fit, he’d take one glance at this boy and decide that he hated him, that he was no good for me. I was so tired of hearing that I could do better. Because I couldn’t, didn’t want to.
“What’s your story Fraser?”
He gave a short laugh. “It’s not all that glamorous and certainly isn’t happy.”
I didn’t laugh; I was too focused on the art running along Fraser’s exposed skin. He was so beautiful, so out of place and unique surrounded by my pale lavender walls and undeniable girly furnishings. His arms thick with muscle spread themselves out behind him as the boy nervously fidgeted. Coal eyes met mine, their intensity terrifying.
“Okay, I’ll make you a deal,” a small smile toyed with his lips “I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.”

- It's not a silly little moment
- It's not the storm before the calm
- This is the deep and dying breath of
- This love that we've been working on
- Can't seem to hold you like I want to
- So I can feel you in my arms
- Nobody's gonna come and save you
- We pulled too many false alarms
- We're going down
- And you can feel it too
- We're going down
- And you know that it's true
- My dear we're
- Slow dancing in a burning room
- I was the one you always dreamed of
- You were the one I tried to draw
- How dare you say it's nothing to me
- Baby you're the only light I ever saw
- I'll make the most of all the sadness
- You'll be a bitch because you can
- You try to hit me just to hurt me
- So you leave me feeling dirty
- 'Cause you can't understand
- We're going down
- And you can feel it too
- We're going down
- And you know that it's true
- My dear we're
