The Danger You Know

You'll judge me. Hate me and tell me I'm wrong. Refuse to see how my darkness is what she needs. While I don't particularly care about your feelings in the matter, and while I pursue her despite the wedding bells that rang for another, only I can see how she is drowning beneath mediocrity. How many times must I remind her? It can't matter that I am the person who ruined her life. The man who killed her father. The constant shadow that watches her sleep. The lover who prefers dirty alleyways to freshly laundered sheets. She's mine. Always has been. I'm the worst thing for her, yet I'm the only salvation she knows. He had his chance to make her happy. He failed. He didn't see how she was dying inside because he couldn't know her. Not like I know her. I am her stalker. Her protector. And the only man that can bring her back to life.
