I know why I love horror films I just never say it. I love them Because I am tortured by feelings By empathy By kindness And I'm looking to learn The kind of safety that comes with ruthlessness. I'm looking to glance up just for one second into my own eyes in a mirror And see nothing at all behind them. Just once. I think people who love as hard as I do always long to feel nothing.
