Immortal Sin

They warned the heavens about us.

Not because we were evil—

but because we loved like storms,

and storms were never meant to ask permission.

You stood before me,

a goddess draped in moonlight,

gold spilling from your skin

like every constellation had chosen

to worship you first.

I was an angel

with blackened wings

and a heart that had forgotten

how to kneel.

The gods called you sacred.

I called you mine.

Lightning wrapped around your wrists

like jeweled chains,

thunder echoed every breath you stole from me,

and the sky trembled

each time your fingertips

brushed against my soul.

They said I'd lose heaven.

I'd lose it a thousand times

just to feel your heartbeat

against the darkness inside my chest.

Your lips were a curse

I never wanted broken.

Every kiss tasted like prophecy,

midnight,

and beautifully bad decisions.

You looked at me

the way wolves watch the moon—

hungry,

faithful,

completely undone.

Our love became a war

the gods could never win.

Empires fell.

Temples crumbled.

Stars burned out.

Yet your name

remained carved

beneath every beat of my immortal heart.

If loving you

is the beginning of the apocalypse,

then let heaven split open.

Let lightning crown us king and queen

of everything forbidden.

Because forever

has never frightened me.

Only a world...

where I wake

without you.
