Except all I see coming from me to those who I am held fast to are inky tendrils of decay.  The one who has captured my interest has once again resorted to communication and head games, so I am ended there. Hopefully properly this time.

And a "maybe " to spawn for seeing him next week. he also unmatched me on bumble. not deleted account. unmatched.
