Dark rockstar why choose romance 🔪🩸🖤

“Most days, my mangled insides feel whole. I have a place and a purpose, and I'm free. I'll never have to be alone, and the world has color again. We got away with it, and we'll never get caught—not even by Death—for a very, very long time. And that is fucking poetry.” #darkromance
