Summary
"It scares you sometimes, this ravening, incendiary thing that scrabbles within you, pushing against your skin, howling, begging for release. Love is supposed to be gentle, soft; shy and blushing and big-eyed. The lovers in the ballads do not ache like you do. They do not burn."
~
(Or: "That Unique Feeling When Your Own Internalized Issues Start, Quite Literally, Following You Around.")
