There are not enough district attorneys to convince me that the man who taught me how to ride a bike is meant to spend his life in a cage.

We define ourselves by the number of people who watch the pages of our stories unfold. We never ask if the plots matter.

There’s a monster in my bedroom

He looms over me and licks his lips as his hungry eyes devour me

The word ‘run’ is buried in his sinister chuckle

But I don’t

I don’t run, or scream, or cry out for help

I don’t even flinch.

Despite the danger lurking inches from my face, the only thing on my mind is you

The monster’s fangs glisten in the candlelight as he flashes a predatory smile

Why didn’t you smile like that when you held me?

He leans down and pushes a strand of hair from in front of my face with his claws

Just like you used to do

His breath smells like stale beer and nachos as he whispers into my ear

His warmth lingers on my neck

I don’t hear what he says

The only voice I hear is yours, your last words stuck on repeat in my brain

Worthless slut, your voice says

As the monster crushes my mouth with his own, your voice amplifies

Tears trail down the side of my face. I expect the monster to hesitate or stop, but he doesn’t.

He kisses me deeper as his hands slide up my shirt

I think of you, and how in the entire year we were together I don’t remember your hand sliding up my shirt

I think of all the hours wasted on makeup you never noticed and outfits you always tore to shreds in your haste to devour my flesh

I think of how upset you’d be if you could see me right now, how your face would turn crimson with rage as you demanded I stop

But you didn’t stop, did you?

So I let him

Also when you’re getting good at recognizing when villains are thinly-veiled strawmen of your own beliefs and ways of life and that makes you just fanboy them harder out of spite.

My personal favorites of those were the Chantry from Dragon Age and The Elusive Man from Mass Effect.

Another belief of mine; that everyone my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.

“A savage desire for strong emotions and sensations burns inside me: a rage against this soft-tinted, shallow, standardized and sterilized life, and a mad craving to smash something up, a department store, say, or a cathedral, or myself.” - Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf (via the-book-diaries)

I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds, but I think of you always in those intervals.

Salvador Plascencia (via quotemadness)
