Covet → Ire
I hate you. I hate you with every fiber of my being. I loathe what you do, what you say, how you perceive me— looking down on me. I’m worth less to you than the dirt beneath your feet. You can't even spare me a glance. You'd rather pay attention to your own victims, not someone like me. I have no place in your games.
And it makes me sick.
But I love you still, or at least I love what I imagine we could be. Me and you, Ire— together forever. Truthfully, I look up to you. I crave the control, the confidence you have over others. I wish to tear you to shreds and inspect every inch of your spirit. Let me take and take until there's none of you left.
Let me be the only one with you, Ire.

Ire → Rue
I look at you and see the same familiar face staring back; nothing but a recurring encounter. You're just like the others, a voluntary victim of one's own wrath. A concept so common— so simple.
Yet with you, Rue, I see something deep within. It’s small and hides skillfully behind your dried tears, but it's there. I want to peer deep, explore your every crevasses, rip out that one thing that makes you special, and analyze what makes it so admirable. What I hold for you isn't love— that's impossible, but an infatuation with this anomaly.
I hold little to no want for your corpse. The flowers that bloom from your altered soul is what I truly desire.

Rue → Covet
I’m not sure where you came from or what your true intentions are, but I'd never let a lie graze my lips when it comes to you. I’d never abandon you, love, I wouldn't even give myself the opportunity.
A godsend you are, truly. Someone to relate to, someone that lets me cry on their shoulder and doesn't wash the stain away. You kiss my forehead; the mark never fades. The hand prints of your affection paint an abstract picture of my greed. A hardened impact on my life you are, and I’d rather drop dead than let you go.
Look my way. Kiss me. Trace your fingers around my eyes and pluck them out if you so desire. You deserve it all, I'll give you it all, just don't ever leave me. One wish— be the noose that ties us together. Comfort me with no hesitation. Do what you do, and never stop. Your love stretches miles, while mines can only stretch so thin and to so many.
Be everything I need and more, Covet.
