What inspires you? a friend once asked me I looked at him for a while then answered I'm inspired by the pain of the tormented souls that hovers around us and the late nights of whiskey shots and sad songs by the pool and lipstick stains on the broken wine glass I'm inspired by the history of what love is supposed to be by the couples who chose to stay and never left their lover's side who stayed during the storms of recklessness and nights of madness that drove them crazy but they stayed no matter what they stayed and they didn't leave I'm inspired by the agony I put myself through every night I keep thinking of him the suffering that kills me slowly yet so **** softly the masochism in myself and the sadism in his twisted terrifying flame of love
