If music doesn’t give me gooseflesh then I don’t want it.

I play it loud wanting to feel it. I want it reaching through my skin, touching my vagus nerve. Vibrating my bones. Igniting my blood.

And you.

You will listen too.

There’s a song I like, one that gives me chills. Listen to it for me. Headphones are required and the volume must be maxed.

Listen now. Listen while you’re brushing your teeth. On your way to work. Listen while you should be sitting through a meeting talking about production schedules and Gantt charts.

Listen on your lunch break, when you could be talking to your cute, sweet coworker. But alas you’re listening to Noah Kahan or Sleep Token’s new work.

Listen while you’re at the gym. Each rep, each movement, each laboring breath. May your sweat taste like a sick bass line.

Listen on your way home stopping at the drive through. “Sorry what was the total, I couldn’t hear you”.

Listen while you walk through your front door. Listen while you shower, your headphones are water resistant right?

Listen while you pick out your clothes, laying them on out nice and neat for the following day.

Listen while you sleep. The notes playing in your mind instead of counting sheep.

Listen. And listen. And listen.

Listen while you work. While you play. Listen.

Listen until you can’t eat, sleep, or breathe without thinking of the songs that give me chills. And even then, listen.

Listen until you’ve ground your teeth into dull nubs. Listen until you feel light headed and dizzy. Listen until your ear drums burst and bleed.

Listen every day of your life. And when you take your last breath, may it be with your headphones in your ears, my favorite songs playing on full blast.

May you be buried 6 feet deep, nothing but a shroud and my favorite music in your ears. Giving back. May you become food for the birds, the worms, and the critters.

May your bones decay having vibrated to the soundtrack of my life, with every waking moment of your own.

May life bloom through your ear lobes and may the flowers sing.

Oh how I love music and how well you listen for me.

You see my favorite part of a man is right at the crossroads of the trap and the delt muscles, just above the clavicle.

My second favorite is where your trap muscles meet your throat.

The skin is awfully thin here. If I get close enough I can see the salt from your sweat, the little grains, embedded in your skin. I feel as though I can see the blood rushing beneath. If I take a little look the left I can see your pulse thump thump thumping so quickly, like a bunny. Like prey.

I apply a little pressure with my nail, watch as your skin raises, changes color. Ah yes my art piece, my pretty little canvas. My nail marks act as a stencil. Shall we get to the line work? My beautiful Stiletto is ready. More than ready really, she’s been calling my name since she arrived. She’s a needing little thing, so….thirsty.

I pull her free of her enclosure. Her spirit thrums from her handle. She whispers your name as I guide her to meet you for the first time. You have something in common, as you both belong to me.

She wishes to feel you, taste you. Her tip draws so little energy from me, she doesn’t need it, it takes next to nothing for your skin to…give.

She meets the fabric of you and unravels your essence, funneling it to me.

I gladly listen to the sounds she pulls from you. What can I say, I love the lyrics she writes as the tune plays from your lips.

Now look at you. The line work is complete and the color has been filled in. As we wait for you to dry, I ask if you want help to name her, my beautiful Stiletto. Hehehe I mean it’s the least I can do since you paid for her one way trip to my beautiful blade collection, expedited shipping.

Stella you say? What a pretty name! Give her a kiss and tell her thank you. Hehehe so fucking cute 🤭.

My turn. You may send again for the pleasure of watching me work and thank me for the beautiful markings that now cover my favorite. parts. of. you.

** My first one. I feel like I could do more with this one. Explore deeper but I’m tired of trying to make it perfect and I’m just gunna go for it lol **
