I forced myself out of a love that I knew would only end…
““I forced myself out of a love that I knew would only end fatally. I forced myself into the dark, until I could no longer remember how to feel with my eyes. I forced my mind to believe that someone would hold you better than I ever could. But the worst part was selling my soul for a price I know I'll never repay, and forcing myself into love with someone who wasn't you””
