He showed me what love is really like. They showed me how happiness affects the heart. They showed me that I still have one. And then my violent past comes to rip it out of my chest. Fine, let it. Happiness. Love. I have to leave it behind. Violence. Hate. I have to accept it all over again. Because I will do anything to keep the ones I love safe. Including going back to the cold, toxic soul I once had.
