Quote by Janet Autherine

“Life with a Narcissist To love without fear is tomorrow’s prayer but tonight brings emotional eggshells, and machiavellian use of power. Existing under a microscope with each move measured. One delicate step forward is the crown. Two bold steps is the dungeon. Those are tonight’s rules. Tomorrow the rules change and the game with my heart begins again.”

“You were on the other side of the world, but I often woke with the scent of you surrounding me. I ached for you, Kells. No matter how much Kishan thrashed me, it couldn’t diminish the pain of losing you. I’d dream of you and reach out to touch you, but you were always just out of reach.”
