❝ i know revenge must have been tempting. ❞
❛ revenge is bad for the soul . ❜ & the soul of him ? it is already rotten , it is an abscessed tooth , sore & swollen right down to the infected root . temptation , too , takes it’s toll on an undying ghost . it burrows with cruel adamancy into the harsh scarred over parts of his skin ; burning & smoldering & turning a man into wrathful ash . the fire has spat him out uncleansed .
new canaan : fingers digging into the hollow carious pit in his chest . he knows it was not always there , but does not remember feeling it’s absence ( he had known a forgiving god once ) . so , tempting , yes , & THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT JUSTICE —
❛ but we do not always do what is best for us , courier . ❜
