I used to love those goodnight messages you'd send.
You know the ones.
Those adorable messages that always ended with "goodnight my love, don't let the bed bugs bite."
I never let the bed bugs bite.
But I let your love locus crawl all over my skin, tearing my body, soul and heart to pieces until I was nothing but a worthless worm.
You left me then, and chased after the beautiful butterflies like a murderous mantis.
