I had only a few moments with her… amidst all the… noise, chaos, and the violence. We were together only for moments. That was all. Orchids. She likes orchids. And, yeah, Stick… it was worth it. – Matt Murdock

where did you go, elektra?
Although people have died on my watch, people who shouldn’t have, there are countless others that have lived.
In my head, I was — I am screaming for him to stay. Screaming for him not to leave me again. I should have told him to stay. I should have told him I would follow him to Genosha or the Savage Land… Anywhere, as long as we were together.

“I love her, and that’s the beginning and end of everything.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am turning love into rosaries. I am praying along your crooked edges.
Hallowed be the red wine-stains on your fingertips and your lips, wide, wide open, teeth bared,
saying my name like benediction, like something holy and gilded with light. Your hands are clasped and I am pulling beads
out of your wrists in a long row. Let me do this for you. Let me turn us into something bright, something worth loving.
Bring your cheek to my chest, the long fall of hair, the whisper of perfume. Nail my palms to your thighs.
Call me a savior, call me resurrection, call me every Hail Mary against your
tongue. I am turning love into rosaries tonight. I am making something good out of all this. I am making something good out of all this.
