the poisoned lion

by forget-me

You put a lion in my heart, his name is Henry. I'm just naming him now, and I was going to write this as if he'd already existed. But then spontaneously, I realized it's more like you dropped him in there. I have not been taking care of Henry. I think we all sincerely miss him.
