2022-08-29 23:01:07 That lost image of
The lost prince;
The spade of ace,
Ace of my heart—

The memento I thought
I have lost,
Was returned to me.

And I held onto it, crying,
wondering: When will you return
Back home
To me.

My monsters under the bed,
The horde of undead in my closet;

I have not come to diminish you,
like an exorcist would
banish you to the limbo.

I have come as a guide
so that we may both move
on to the afterlife.

"You're telling me that I
like to wear my scars
like a medal.

"I'm telling you, now
I'm also tired of
wearing medals.

"What doesn't kill you

But what you didn't kill
comes back to haunt you
and makes you wearier.

"Either buried deep within me
or worn on my clothes like medal,
they would only
burden me down.

"So now I'm trying to learn—"

like one would dig
looking for gold.

take them home,
display them in pretty frame,
and put them above your hearth."

His answer: "Then... I'd
lick all the sugar off of you
until I see what you're hiding under."

2022-08-24 22:58:18 I scoffed. "After all the things you said, I wonder why I'm still coming with you. Looking back at my past relationships, people might think I got a taste for problematic guys."

But he just smiled a lopsided smile, the glint on his eyes told me he knew that I knew too:

Better a brutal honesty than a sugar-coated illusion.

Hopefully he stayed dead. There better be no tricks this time. After all the trouble I went through, the feeling of smashing face into pulps... He better stayed dead—
