you can aim for my heart, go for blood, but you would still miss me in your bones; and i still talk to you when i’m screaming at the sky and when you can't sleep at night you hear my stolen lullabies. by LLReid

Summary
Inspired by; my tears ricochet (long pond) by Taylor Swift.
~~~
“If I could go back in time and undo all that I felt I had no other option but to do when I was young and stupid, I would,” Leanan breathed. “Leaving her the way I did— I should’ve tried to protect her myself from all the enemies I managed to make but after losing her father and feeling so responsible for it I, well, I felt a bit like a knife. I never meant to, but I cut. And yet she clung to me, and I knew she would clasp me until the blood flowed from her, too. I realised when I looked at her, I was looking at the purest love I would ever know… and I honestly believed that with all my limitations all I’d do was harm her.” The older woman sighed and took another sip of her wine. “She hates me, Xenia, and the worst part is I know I deserve it.”
“She doesn’t hate you. Can you truly not see that a family is all she has ever wanted? She’s frightened of you because she cannot control where, when, or why you will leave her again. So she’s taken a standing-point outside herself, is observing herself as a disinterested spectator, and is clinging to what little control that your methods of getting rid of her have left her with.”
