Quote Inspired

And once again it has been proven that she doesn't deserve to find a home. Once again, she realizes that everyone will leave her alone.

It's just another part of history repeating itself, laying her heart bare against cold stone. It's just another punishment earned for misdeeds she needs to atone.

And while her soul is ruptured and left bleeding out into the snow, she once again realizes that her heart is just another worthless piece of fake gold.

How could anyone so rotten deserve a loving home?

 

Everybody leaves.

 

~Rose Dark Thorn
