Destroyed

She has a secret.

 

I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. 

 

I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn't realized how far I could fall or what I'd do to get free. 

 

He has a secret.

 

I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. I chase who I want, do what I want, act how I want.

 

I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But then she tried to run. I’d tasted what she could offer me and damned if I would let her go.

 

One secret destroys them.
