This girl is darkness and she’s beautiful. She tells me to call her darkness. She wears makeup I hate and always has a scowl on her face. She threatens to break my legs if I touch any of her writing journals. She rolls her eyes whenever I tell her I miss her. She cancels our dates because she sometimes gets too anxious. She sometimes lets me hold her hand. She cries for hours after reading a book and she calls to rant about the characters she hates. She refuses to wear the ring I got her on her finger so she wears it on a necklace. She says she likes her nails sharp so she can impale her enemies with a flick of her wrists. My girl is darkness and she’s beautiful.
