2 | HER FATHER'S MONSTER

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

❝ you convinced yourself that this was necessary,
this darkness.

that it was the only way to survive,
to grow stronger than those who hurt you.

it consumed your mind,
your heart,
your soul.

you let that power in,
let it run in your every vein,
let it make your eyes as black as night.

but...

my darling, don't lie to me.

don't tell me you didn't enjoy the fear in their eyes,
the screams of the crowd.

when you welcomed in the dark,
don't tell me it didn't feel so unbelievably right.

because in the end,
when that crown was placed upon your head,
you are a liar if you claim it was necessary.

no.

this was your plan all along—
wasn't it? ❞

- g.s.
