When people see you as bad, they stop expecting you to be good.
My exterior is stunning. An almost ethereal creature with gem eyes and perfectly chiseled features. On the inside, I’m decaying and rotten. But no one sees that part, so it’s okay.
Pay us no attention and we’ll go feral trying to get it.
“The thing about evil,” she whispers, “is that it masquerades as good. True evil doesn’t look like a monster with horns and a forked tongue. It’s beautiful, charming, and powerful… An exceptional liar, and a master at manipulating its camouflage.”

“Because I fucking love you!” he shouts in my face, and I falter. “I’ve loved you since the second I saw you, and I don’t understand it!

I never knew what this felt like… until you.”
I feel like I could slaughter anyone who causes you pain, including myself. It’s so unbearably fucked up, but I would open a vein and bleed just to make you smile…

In crazy, fierce, burning fucking love.”

Is this the online? How do I internet??
We made it through the storm.
It’s a rule. Every gay guy must seek out every gay person they’ve ever met to discuss rainbow business, didn’t you know that?
“He’s my villain with the face of a hero,”
Mental illness isn’t your fault, but it is your responsibility.”
“They’re kinda crazy, huh?” I whisper, as he pulls me close and kisses my neck. “My beautiful, forever flame… all the best things are.”
