I think the truth is that I never wanted something easy to begin with. I've always wanted to dance with the devil and squeeze cactuses between my fingers because oh god how beautiful pain makes me feel. I wanted broken glass beneath my feet and volcanoes erupting in my heart every time your fingers traced my bleeding lips. If I am being completely honest, I loved watching you walk out the door just so that sparks of adrenaline would eat me alive while I ran after you, barefoot on the scorching tar because **** - your love was so worth it. I am difficult to love - that I know. I am both fire and ice. I am a breathing paradox of everything you want and everything you hate. I am a tornado of light in an ocean of darkness - together we are ******* invincible. Anyone who comes after will sink into the ashes I leave behind me wherever I go. I hope you know that our souls chose each other because everyone else will drown in our depth. Our love was constructed by the earth even though our love too is a paradox. Our love is gentle and kind  but at the same time it is vicious and thirsty - always wanting more. I always want more.
