I must be soft spoken but outspoken
Have I got that right?
Opinionated by reverant 
Am I correct?

Brave and independent whilst right by your side
A perfect listener who contributes just the right amount to make you feel heard 

I must be loyal and dedicated 
Present 
But not when you're busy 

A perfect girl in your perfect world 
Who you'll make into your perfect wife

And trap you there

Flailing in his grasp

They could pinch your skin

Until you cried

that possesses you?

I know I should run
far away

but I have convinced myself
of the old cliche...

better the devil you know 
than the devil you don't.

I know what to ex...

Toxic lovers

He didn't care that I'm hopeless cause 
I guess he could say he felt mutual
Something drew us together
Something more than usual
We both lived reckless lives in a cold world 
Atleast we can both say we got the two of us
Not sure what love truly is
im not even loving my own life to sober up
He tells me that I help ease the pain
even though the drugs make us numb enough
