â Iâm sorry, did that hurt your feelings? â ( Lilith & Adam )
âYouâd like that, wouldnât you?â
They were staring each other down, trying to see who would break. They were always like this, trying to see what would hurt the other. Adam thought he was just telling her things, forcing a mirror in her smug little face. She always anted to dig her nails into his psyche and pull out all the bad things. He knew the bad things, they came to him before he went to sleep and made tears stream down his face. He never needed her to destroy him, he could do that on his own.
âGo find someone else you can toss your insecurities on like youâre so good at. Leave me be, thatâs all I want.â
