Just slithering through

Summary:

Sorry Love, just slithering through;

I'm on a bit of a time crunch,

Slowly but surely losing you.

Notes:

LISTEN... LISTEN. This got out of hand a little.

I originally meant for this to be a Lukadrien Month submission, specifically about Vipernoir and the impact of Chat's many deaths on Luka's psyche.
Then I remembered I have an Aspik and Cat Luka AU that deserves to be expanded on.
THEN I re-read the whole thing and it felt so Ladyaspik-coded...
... but also, doesn't this scream Luka's POV as he's slowly growing isolated from the people he loves?
Doesn't this scream Mari trying to shield Adrien from the truth??
Do you see my predicament???

So there you have it, folks: a villanelle open to multiple interpretations.
At its core, this is a poem about the Snake Miraculous, the toll it takes on its holders and those who love them.
HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT OK BYYYYYE

Sorry Love, just slithering through;

I'm on a bit of a time crunch,

Slowly but surely losing you.

 

Your kiss is cold like pearls of dew

And each shiver comes as a dunch;

Sorry Love, just slithering through

 

I can't miss our next rendez-vous

(I have already missed a bunch,

Slowly but surely losing you)

 

I cannot stop until we're through —

Each second ticked feels like a punch —

Sorry Love, just slithering through

 

My poor darlings, I too am blue;

Maybe I am (it's just a hunch!)

Slowly but surely losing you

 

Can't remember what's wrong, what's true

Heart and mind cracked from the time crunch —

Sorry Love, just slithering through

Slowly but surely losing you
