A split-second decision. A costly mistake. My skin has been marred, slashed, burned and bruised. My bones have been severed and broken more times than I can count. I’ve been told I was unworthy, fought through life seeing nothing but black. But it’s a pain I welcome. An ache I deserve. UNTIL HER She is my redemption. The flicker of fire that dances in my darkness. Our love is effortless. Our love is a LIE. A desire A delusion. A MISTAKE She should have known better than to entrust me with her heart. I should have known destiny wouldn’t give me a second chance…at least not one I could keep forever. The black cloud is back. And revenge is the only thing it has on its mind.
