crocodile eyes

On the edge of the windowsill - a cry of ‘amen’ that sounds louder than common sense, and a promise that when they find the body, everyone will think the worst. The desire to catch the truth with crocodiles is like romantic revenge in slow motion: beautiful, dangerous, and slightly absurd. It pulls you back, closer, lips like a heavenly potion - warm and forbidden at the same time, as if it were already known that repetition would lead to the same abyss. Déjà vu tickles and irritates, but still attracts: jealousy, regret and music that whispers ‘don't let go’ through clenched teeth. And in the end, a strange peace remains - like black tea with sugar: bitter, sweet and a little dangerous.
