Until Death

As soon as I hide from Death's sight — and the consequences of our deal, — regret overwhelms me. My heart tightens at the cruelty of my own words, and I involuntarily think: have I made a fateful mistake? No. I push these thoughts away, not allowing them to wound my already tormented heart again. I keep running — defying my own feelings. With each step, my mistake becomes only more inevitable. A mistake born of disobedience. One day fate will force me to kneel for those I love. For him. For… us.
