“  i can’t make you trust me. but i’m gonna stick around long enough for you to realize you can.  ”
it’s incredibly ballsy of @crimeloyalty to assume i can even play with the idea of trust again. but she’s ballsy and i have to give her that. i keep seeing it like i’m dead somehow, and whether i believe it or not, it won’t go away. it’s just fucking burned into my memory like the outline of a five alarm fire’s ruins.
the worst part is the longer i look at her, the more i realize she’s not bullshitting me. she means what she says when she says she wants me to trust her. it makes me want to chew all the skin off my lip just to spite my face. the second i might be something significant the only feeling i’m dying for is to disappear. it shoots all the way through me every time i look around these walls. i’m living on the quinzel estate with her and bruce wayne and my kid loves them both. that puts me in a position to shut up. that makes me want to not take a total torch to everything.
as per, holls is the only reason i won’t implode.
“ trust is like love ; it’s for children. ”
it is. it’s childish. it’s adolescent. thinking you can put your faith in someone else is like delivering yourself into your worst enemy’s hands when you know it’s a trap. the only thing trust can manage to do is turn into a knife that you jab between your own ribs. if you want to die, you might as well do it from the front. as a thief, backstabbing is so expected. i’m bored of it.
“ i’m glad outside the suit you’re capable of big girl sentences. ”
i’m so used to the bat’s two word answers and the way he looks at you instead of saying a word.
