Life Of A Part-Time Mermaid

"when you threw me to the wolves that night,
did you think they’d find me easy to swallow?
you’ve loved me more than the others; you know i claw and scream on the way down.

of course i bit back. i learned to love the moon.
i wore wolf skins as easily as my own.
i growled at death and watched him run.

please know that if you feel the hair rise on the back
of your neck, sense a shadow in the bathroom
mirror, find eyes in the thick of night, i am here.

i do not hunger after you.
i imagine you’ll taste exactly as i remember: sour, chalky, gritty. dirt under my nails.
i will be bored of this form soon.

i suggest next time, you try feeding me to dragons. — A STUDY IN SURVIVAL | m.c."

Me
I've been broken, I've loved and I've been hurt. A best friend, a hard worker, a loyal lover. I am simply human.

So, I read this book today. I spent the entire day reading this book, didn't stop more than to piddle.

That's not the important part though. Well I mean it is, this book was amazing and had me laughing and crying and you know that's the sign of a good book. But in this book was a name, which meant a lot to me. But I ignored the first coincidence, but then as I was reading this old woman started talking about her first love. She told me main character she knew she loved the boy she was talking about and all of this really sweet stuff about it.

And then the part that got my attention was the old woman saying her love of 62 years and his name. And I just lingered on it for a while and smiled.
