Bad Wrong Things

by C.P. Harris

“I may have been responsible for your beginning, but you’re in charge of your end.”

I gave up my vices. It started as a way of not wanting to be reminded of you, then I ended up not wanting anything in the way of me being enough for me.

“Never having you again would’ve been an easier blade to choke on than finding out I’d left for nothing. That no good had come from it.”

Your love no longer breaks or makes me. I make me. But you fucking make me better.”

“If you’re going to tell me about how someone else got to have you in any way, then I need the reminder that I’m the one you fall apart for while you’re doing it.”

“I told you once that the heart and the mouth are connected, and that I’d never give either to anyone but you. I meant it, Clint.”
