Son of Tennessee Williams

I'm drinking Gin and reading The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I want to devour her and tear her apart. I want to break her into a million tiny perfect pieces. Shattered and crying.

Oscar Wilde was right: we destroy what we love.
I feel Tennessee Williams typing the dialogue of this romantic interlude.
I know this will end in catastrophe.

I know there will be madness.
I see the end before we've just begun.
I can feel her heart breaking with the certainty that I know my first name.
An unavoidable recourse of her desire for me.
A moth to the flame...and she will be consumed by my nature.


I hold to the memory of the first time I saw her walking toward me.
That briefest flicker of warning.....a glance that could have just as easily faded and she'd be "that cute girl I saw in the ******* waiting for my *****.

But instead....she took the window seat....and now.....our lust is on fire, burning brightly.

  1. Do you find yourself stuck between letting her go early or continuing until that inevitable end. Letting her go would be the sympathetic thing, guess easier said than done though..
