Few words. I have very few words to say even though there should be a mountain's worth. I just.. I can never love again. I cannot allow myself the pain. I cannot lose anyone else.. I hope it is working.. this smile of mine, drinking my mother's potions. I told them the voices stopped.. maybe they believe me.
She hates me utterly.. she was strong, Tessa was. But not strong enough. I could not and should not have put my faith in her being able to withstand everything. It was as if I was a monster.. and I suppose I was.. I know I am.
I will live life.. I cannot run anymore.. even if I feel like I want to.. I know it is a choice I will regret.. and i will lose even more.
I truly think I snapped.. sitting in a river of blood, holding body parts somewhere in the depths of Christopher's home. The voices told me to do it.. said it owuld make things better. Even now they whisper at me... tell me to break the things I hold dear. But I won't listen, I have to keep control.
Smiling works.. even a little brooding. Natural.. that is the way I have to be. I know if it gets bad, Surreal will help me through it again. A woman with no strings attached anywhere except to the men she uses. That is how it should be.. I am a man who is used after all.
I can't bring myself to hate her.. even though she is getting married.. even though.. even though.. NO! I can't talk about her.. the voices stir when I do. It is best if I never see her.. Gwyn.. she was different.. holds a special place in my heart. But Tessa.. I let her in.. I let someone in after so long.. and now.. I just can't anymore.
I have to bury it.. need to keep it out of sight.. so even the voices can't remind me of her.. in many ways.. I regret being found.. maybe my mother had the right idea letting me stay alone as a "human" child. Why does nothing work!? Why can I never find happiness no matter what I do? Why is everything I say and do wrong? Why am I the one who gets shunned for being selfish when everyone else does whatever they fucking want.. no I can't.. I have to stop.. it is not me speaking. I have to lay it to rest.. forever.
