Will my secret keep him close?
Perhaps. But here is my confession, I have something better than secrecy. I
have absolution. With me, he is not bound, it will be out of choice. With me, he
never has to hold back. And I would love him for the good and especially in the
bad. When I gave my word that I’d stop my tricks – I lied. That’s the thing with
obsession. I does not care. It only wants, and it is so fixated on want, that
it becomes need, and it shall have all it wants and needs. And while I have no time to ponder who I am, clone
– what a stupid word, I am already on my way to loving him forever. That’s how
I play it, because I just don’t care. Everyone
knows I am nothing like my pathetic prime. That with me, it’s all bad
intentions and violent, narcissistic adoration. That is not who I am. I am but
one thing - in absolution.
