Roy. I cannot endure his steel kindness. The more I hurt him, the more he clings. At first it gave me comfort. I thought it took a tremendous amount of courage for a man like Roy to love a woman like me. Then I had an epiphany. Like a psychic vampire, Roy drained the life force right out of me. He needed my strength. It wasn't courage, after all, but parasitic determination that made Roy keep coming back for more. In the dark, Roy is alluring. Shadows bring out the dazzling dimensions of his devastating needs. But when sunshine comes gleaming on the sheets, Roy's pathetic, ineffectual plasticity is revealed. I'll have no more of it. My marble heart seeks a worthier victim. Tonight I'll put on my scarlet dress and crimson lipstick and invade the sleeping town. |
