raiden. d10. fin.

raiden and rayna—
twin flames.

he is the jaw,
and she is the bite

they are
pure,
unabashed
rage

he is the force
behind her fist

bloodied knuckles and
kerosene,
they have an appetite
for destruction

he is the gun,
and she is the bullet

she breaks the neighbors nose
and he grabs him by the chin,
pulling him close
this never happened
he spits through clenched teeth
clean yourself up
there's blood on his shoes

he is the moon,
and she is the night

father's passed out on the couch
whiskey on his breath
typical,
he scoffs under his breath
what a father he is

and mother's gone
just gone
barely an echo in this ghost town
she's gone
and left them with him
what a mother she is

he is the hum of the earth
before it quakes

he holds them together
she's all flame,
a soul like hellfire
she'd burn this whole place down
if it wasn't for him

he is the marrow,
and she is the bone

you're reckless,
he would say to her
with a grin
you're lucky i'm here to clean up your messes
she rolls her eyes, punching him in the shoulder
his grin widens
he wraps her split knuckles in ivory
the blood seeps through

he is the beginning,
and she is the end.
