Love will?

She’s the kind of girl who dances alone, preferring to hold up on a dark corner of the floor, just outside of the spotlight. Just close enough to the action to notice, just out of sight enough to warrant a second glance. You can’t always tell if she’s dancing, or pantomiming the steps to kill a man. 

These girls, man… they walk around like they’re just looking for an excuse to fall in love, or just rip out your guts. They pretend that they’re bullet proof, daring you to hit them with your best shot. Sometimes you do. You don’t realize, until it’s too late, that they’re really made of porcelain and stars. They just crumble into a glittery pile of bittersweet dust, or burn hot and bright until they implode. 

That girl’s got an alley cat for social graces, and a man-eating tiger trapped between her hips. 

She mouths the lyrics, “Love will save you from the hands that pull you down beneath the sea. Love may save all you people, but it will never, never…”

That girl is the worst of them. Because she’s got a tongue of a serpent, but the tears of a saint. 

“No. It won’t save me.”
