Velleity

No one ever cared about us.

We were taken in by monsters.

Not the kind under the bed, but the ones that walk in broad daylight.

The ones that smile and act perfectly in front of strangers, but harbor darker secrets behind closed doors.

We deserved better.

Or at least, he did.

I’m going to do my best to make sure that he gets it.

It’s the least I could do for the only person who ever loved me.
