“We speak with our lips and dream in the soul. Do you know what I dream of, my love?” You spoke up in a quiet whisper, fiddling with the bloody needle and thread in your hands and staring down at your beloved boyfriend who now had the words “LOVE” sewn across his mouth. His lips substituted the letter “O”. How did he end up like this? Simple. He simply couldn’t keep his lips off other people.

Akio’s constant infidelities were a constant problem in your relationship. Out of love and stupidity, you stayed and endured all the heartache of all of his toxic traits, slowly but surely all of it became overwhelming and slowly started driving you to the brick of pure insanity. The fear of being abandoned was slowly starting to creep up on you, causing your emotions to spiral all over the place.

Finally, you snapped after catching him cheating yet again. Which led to this very moment, you don’t know what came over you but all you knew was that you were grabbing a needle and thread and sewing the letters across his mouth. Akio tried his best to pull and move away but your grip was too tight for him to move. The only sounds that filled the room were of Akio’s cries and grunts as the needle punctured his mouth.

“I dream of you learning that you are mine. That your behavior is hurting me..” You continued on, setting the needle down and kneeling down to cup Akio’s face. “I love you. I love you so much. This will be a reminder of that love. Do not forget that.”

“You’re an absolute lunatic.” Akio blurted out harshly before quickly shutting his mouth from the pain of the stitches.

“Well, love isn’t always a beautiful thing but now you’ll permanently be reminded of me. It’s not like you’ll be kissing anyone with that mouth ever again.” You replied back with a sinister gleam in your eyes and watched how he winched and grunted with each pain of the stitches.

“This isn’t love. This is pure diabolical nonsense.” He gritted out, trying to keep his mouth closed to prevent any more pain and avoid tearing the stitching.
