Everything feels like chaos. Except him. 

For, while my demons’ pretend love made me short of breath, his true love made me tall of solace. Nameless monsters make me fear death in the darkness while my angel helps me see the life in the light.  

The opposition in the two and their separate abilities to create my soul into a walking contradiction made for nights of sleeping with the fear of waking to the sight of a demon turn into waking with relief to the face of an angel. 

For the first time, my life’s tug-of-war looks as though it may come to end. It seems as though it will not always exist—for, even if I have been pulled into the mud, with this angel by side I can only win. 

It is this unexplained and unexpected love of an earth angel that settles the score.
