the devil has my heart...

Summary:

...and there is no escape

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

the devil has my heart
whose rhythm matches hers
and there is no escape

the devil plays the part
of humanising her curse
the devil has my heart

she aims and throws the dart
causes my vision to blur
and there is no escape

her poise, her grace, imitate art
I yearn and crave what we’ve become
the devil has my heart

beneath her touch I come apart
realise alarmingly as I observe
that there is no escape

our love will end as it did start
with bleeding hearts and whispered words
the devil has my heart
and there is no escape

Notes:

the past month and a bit has been rough. these characters were a part of me, and still are a part of me, and will continue to be. i'd never seen myself so completely in two characters before this show, and whilst it's been difficult to try and get back that creativity that the show had previously reignited in me, i wanted to cement my love for eve and villanelle somehow, somewhere, even weeks later.

i wrote this villanelle back in 2019, my first piece dedicated to them. so this is for eve and villanelle, for jodie and sandra, for me and for the fans. we all deserved better but i know our love for these characters will never fade, and we'll carry their legacy through that love.
