Young Heart

by cattatonicat

There she goes, with a young heart in a damned world. She’s so young and she could be so gullible. Love sounds like a dream but feels like trickery to her heart. To have power over her young heart, that would be the dream for the damned in the damned world. She’s so young, it would be so easy to lie to her. She’s so young, it would be so easy to take advantage of her. She’s so young, it would be so easy to manipulate her. She feels every time she is lied to, taken advantage of, and manipulated, and she knows what’s happened to her. She doesn’t want to say anything about it, because she knows only the damned would do such a thing. The damned weren’t always the damned, and she could be one of them any day, and she knows. At some point, however, she feels the need to say something as a preventative measure. She has a young heart and so many of the damned want to kill it. The damned world doesn’t feel safe to her. She wants all the damned in the damned world to stay away from her until they are no longer the damned. However, she is scared that everyone in the damned world, including her, is the damned. She is scared that there will be no one left in her refuge once all the damned are gone. She has to risk her fear because she believes her heart is young and she wants to keep it that way.
