I fell in love with a tragedy, A boy who reeks of death and gasoline, Who calls me his nightshade, Because he thinks I am as tempting as I am deadly.
I fell in love with a demon, Or, at least, that's what they tell me. But they never stick around to see His rusting halo when he shares the same air as me.
I fell in love with a lost boy, Who no longer believes in being found, Who bares his teeth with every smile, And bleeds and slowly drowns.
I fell in love with a monster. He says so when he thinks I'm asleep, As he kisses the healing wounds we share, And drifts off to dreams beside me.
I fell in love with a wanderer, Who is still learning how to heal. And he no longer reeks of death and disaster, He just smells like home to me.

AN:-An October Lullaby is the prequel work to Children of Darkness but both stories can be read as standalones. However, I recommend giving it a read for the backstory regarding how (Name) and Dazai met and got together.
