“But that’s the thing about narcissists. They can try to fool you, with all their heart, but in the end, they’re just fooling themselves.”

“He was the devil.
Calm, unfettered, and unaffected.
Leading me down a sordid path.”

“When you realize you don’t matter, the world becomes inconsequential and claustrophobic. You feel trapped inside your body, and your mind. Nothing can take you out of desperation, unless they take the brunt of your loneliness and make it their own.”

Sometimes, he weeps with you.”

“All the time, I lay in bed, I kept hearing Ian’s words.
“Not easy selling your soul to the devil, is it?”

“I stood there, staring at the sleeping man snoring peacefully in my bed, unaware of the intrusion. I felt like a boy trying to steal the golden goose from under a giant’s nose. Any minute now, he would wake up and he would smell the scent of my fragrant flesh. I could kill him now, fuck the consequences. But it would mess everything up if I failed. Not just for me, but I felt in some ridiculous way, Ian's hopes were tied to me as well. Rho was already creating a life for himself. How much could he possibly care about the man he lost? Out of sight, out of mind. It was still the worst kind of betrayal, the one I got from Rho. My knight had stabbed my heart, left me to bleed out. And I was supposed to just act like nothing happened. Like it didn’t feel like dying, over and over. Like it wasn’t killing me. Just as I had nothing to hold me back, when I took this road with Rho, there was nothing holding me back now, without Rho, in this world so far away from him. Even if he didn't have a clue what was going on, it still hurt that he managed to find someone so quick. It wasn’t like him. But then again, maybe I put too much faith in the people who I loved so desperately.”

“They want to kill your power to dream, to want happiness. But you can’t let that stop you. You can’t let them win. We deserve this happiness, and more. We should forgive ourselves for our fathers’ misdeeds. And stop punishing ourselves for their crimes. Because otherwise, it was all for nothing.”

“And I would like nothing more than to think I was some criminal mastermind, and was able to fool Marcus, but the truth is I wasn’t even saying things with much conviction. Anyone who cared to see me, would have known I was lying through my teeth, but not him.
That night, and after, Marcus saw what he wanted to see. He believed what he wanted to believe. I just used it to my advantage.”

“I watched him get up, and out there in the rain and the murk and the sadness, he wasn’t mere mortal, he was Aeneas, come to claim his throne. There was a quality about him, an idyllic charm, like the thought of woods in the Italian countryside. It filled you with hope. It felt like home.”

“It was like I’d met my life’s purpose. Like I’d been hurtling through the cosmos, blind, and without a destiny and he gave me one. He was fated to be the man who would break my heart at last. The heart I’d kept under scrutiny, sheltered, for this long, he tore through the heavy vaults and ripped it right out of my chest. From then on, there was no me, and no him.
There was only us.”

“I glanced at Marcus’s grave, and my gaze wandered to the blood-red rose. It wasn’t blood-red, or beautiful anymore. Mud and murk had spoiled its fragile beauty and mutilated it into a miserable gray object, disfigured beyond recognition, tarnished, and misshapen, soon to be devoured by the murky ground that surrounded it.
It was no longer a symbol of hope and innocence. It was an omen; a harbinger of death and destruction. And I was truly terrified of it.”

“Some things in life you can’t get away from. You can’t outrun fate. Your feet can try but you’ll still be in the universe’s version of a hamster wheel. Running, but not getting anywhere.”

“The water under the bridge looked strangely enticing. For a mortuary, it was oddly breathtaking. I felt in tune with all the beings lying underneath, creatures no different than me, some of them human, lost on their way to heaven, who decided to end it all one day for reasons no one else could comprehend. It pained my heart to think I was in that place.”
