PREFACE
ARLO ORPHEUS LOVEGOOD


"Scars of silver wire would
curl along your arms,
creep up your skin.
My fingers would reach
by my side, itching
to trace them, to
feel the risen skin
of your suffering and
to watch as
your eyes softened.

And I could tell
you were thinking, no,
I am a monster,
but you know that
I know you are not,
so you do not
say it out loud.

You would push,
push your wire glasses
up your nose, push
your messy white hair
back, push your interests
down in worry, push
parts of yourself down
in fear. You would
let others push you,
until he pushed you
into a wall and kissed you
is only when you
finally pushed back.

You are so strong,
and mine in all the
ways you are not.
And I am yours,
willingly.
Because I need you."
