Grey Skies

By Audrey_Star

A relationship based on a mutual,
bizarre,
mother complex
is risky at best.

When two people set out
to emotionally “save” each other,
you know that risk is no longer an issue . . .

but if one person loves
to disillusion herself,
and the other loves to disillusion everyone else,
then you know they’re
fucked.

But, hey, at least they
Know it’ll be worth it.

    "then you know they're fucked" - I couldn't help but laugh at this line. This mournful scene definately has a touch of comedy to it.
