Demon
I was damaged by memories of the war we couldn’t win.
Then I met her and she changed my world. From the moment we met, she calmed my crazy.
She couldn’t remember her past and that put her in danger.

I vowed to keep her safe. I needed her too much to let her go. I’ll be damned if anyone will take her away from me.
