it was hard to love someone who couldn't even face themselves in the mirror, who believed themselves to be poisonous and worthless. but i still loved cordelia, sometimes so passionately and forcefully enough to make her wince, since all i wanted was for her to love herself. sometimes more than i ever did. she never could though. ------------------------------- this is the tale of cordelia told through the words of one that loved her and one that hated her.
