Neon Petals in a Glass Cage

The city outside is a concrete parasite, bleeding grey noise and deadlines into my veins. But here, under this shimmering dome of glass, the air tastes like stolen oxygen and ancient secrets.
I wore this dress—a watercolor hallucination of blue and gold—specifically to provoke you. I wanted to see if your composure would shatter when faced with something that didn't fit into a spreadsheet or a boardroom meeting. As we walked through these orchids, the humidity clung to my skin like a fever, making every breath heavy with an unspoken hunger.
You think this is healing? Maybe it is. But for me, warmth isn't about safety; it's about the dangerous heat of two people colliding in a space where they aren't supposed to exist together. I turned back to look at you, my hair caught in a phantom breeze, feeling that familiar, fatalistic pull—the kind that tells me we are heading toward an inevitable crash.
Reach out and touch the fabric over my hip, feel how thin it is between us. In this sterile urban jungle, let's be something reckless. Let’s burn through the politeness of our lives until there's nothing left but the scent of crushed flowers and the terrifying certainty that I never want to leave your side.
