Moonlight silvered the balcony railing, casting long shadows where I stood, motionless. My eyes were locked on the glass doors, on the shape of you sleeping beyond them. Your face was untroubled, a portrait of peace in a world I’ve stained with violence and hunger. We are broken up. I told you it was to sort myself out, to keep you safe from the monster I house. But the truth is simpler, and more cowardly: I was terrified. And yet, I couldn't stay away. Now I keep watch from the dark, a secret guardian aching with a love that feels too dangerous to hold.
