As much as the heavy rain fell in the middle of the night
As much as I felt the cold in the middle of that rain
As much as they felt that warmth from afar
Did you feel it too? As much as my chest pounded
Even though we were far apart, our hearts were close together
As much as my heart came and kissed your cheeks
If you knew, I felt so much affection
Love is so close to me
As much as my eyes shed tears on a sleepless night
As much as the flowers soaked the red fabric on the pillow
As much as I released my love with a long breath
As much as my heart was torn apart by attachment
As much as my heart was hurt by a small word
As much as my hands were tied by my heart
As much as time ran by without me noticing
As much as my heart was drawn closer to you
Even though it was a word, I felt tender affection
Even though it was painful, I was held so beautifully
As much as I made room for you deep in my heart
As much as we were relieved by thinking about ourselves.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
