“Demon.”
“Why is it you don’t believe you’re worth my anger?”

When I greet the eternal darkness, I’ll go there knowing I lived.
“I liked feeling your hands on me.”

“I do not believe your beauty needs any embellishment, nor do I believe anything can compare to it, but that dress would have paled in comparison to you.”
