It all makes sense now. Every inked word, every shudder, every threat and lie, and broken-off engagement. The shroom ramblings, the glances you thought I'd never see, every strand of chocolate hair that ever ran through our fingers. The change of face, his apathy, your manipulation.1
You labeled him dangerous. Toxic. Murderous. Abuser. A taker, and never a giver. User. Unfit. A wary stranger.2
But the only one here with those qualities, is you, my friend.3
And I wonder, as the memory of spite sinks its teeth into my flesh, if you're the Bogey man my mother warned me of. And I can't help but shrink away at the thoughts that have newly been born into my head. Running over all the pieces of the puzzle. There are places that fit too well for me to overlook.4
And yet, there is one minor detail, one whorish thing, that cheapens him for me. Tarnishes his silver finish.5
It occurs to me that the both of you have surrounded me, and I have found out too late that neither of you are all that trustworthy. It's a two-way tie. A tear down the middle. Who will reach the finish line to destroy me?6
Author notes
Sorry if the title is confusing. You know, how sometimes in books or movies they'll have the shady good guy, or the kinda nice villian? Yes, that is what the title refers to.
