My Stepbrother's Lust
My heart shatters at the crack of dawn, and I make a silent prayer for the night to stretch on, for the hours to stand still and grant me this one last moment with her.
I have to do something. I can't just…I can't let her go. It's too much…no…please, God…
Something hot burns down my face, and soon my vision is a blur of gold and ash
I curse myself for the damage that I caused, for the power that I just couldn't let go of, for wanting something that I couldn't have…and ruining it anyway.
But I can be mad as a mad dog, hurt as a wounded animal, and at the end of the day, I still have to admit that she's right.
