Violent Things — Yolanda Olson

She always believed that I deserved better. That she was never enough for me or all that I would ever need. Granted, I had made my share of mistakes but my love for her only strengthened in those moments. The way she looked at me after each and every betrayal … I never wanted to see that heartbreak in her eyes again. So I became a better man. Not the one I thought I had to be, but the one that she deserved. She looks at me differently lately. The madness that once shown in her eyes seems to have dimmed, but I know her heart more than I know my own. She's hungry for something I can't give her. Something that she thinks will make her normal. But I've never felt this way about anyone before and I knew that I'd do my best to keep her just the way she is. Even if she hated me for it in the end.
