The only one who holds him down.Yet, he still leaves.He walks through the door and with each step my heart leaps.He crumbles to the ground in tears telling me he’s sorry.He says he needs me and he’s nothing without me.How can he be so attached and detached at the same time?I swear, this man loves to see me in pain.”

He was the hunter and I, the game.How could I forget that a hunter’s job is to kill?”
