I’ll do whatever it takes
To make you want me
I’ll make no mistakes
My pretty little monster
Condemned me to hell
I promised not to, but I fell
So, deceive me
Abuse me and tell me your love lies
Tell me you’ll stay
Whisper I’m yours that’s all it will take.

“Then why are you?”

I didn’t know what kind of future we had together, but I wanted it. There was no denying that truth. There were a lot of things to work out before we found any semblance of normalcy, but I was willing to put in the work if it meant being with Skip. Like many, I’d made a deal with the devil, but my outcome wasn’t to dwell in purgatory for the rest of my life. Skip had saved me from myself, and I would spend everyday from here on out thanking him.
