He was tragic and dangerous, beautiful and beguiling. He could charm the stars from the sky, each falling to earth like a disgraced angel who never once repented their sin.
He was the kind of boy you wouldn’t take home to mother. Not because she would disapprove, but because she would try to seduce him away from you. But you would want to take him home, take his name and have his babies. Lie, cheat, steal for him. Kill for him.
Kill was what I did, and lie and cheat, steal and repeat. I lost my way and my soul, but I had him. He never gave up his name or his babies. Still, I loved him.
I’ve had a long time to consider my choices, to try to figured out what went wrong. My world, once infinite and intoxicating, shrunk to a tiny, solitary room. He disappeared and I wait alone for a letter that never comes.
All that I had is gone, but I have no regrets. That’s not true. I have one – that I didn’t take him with me when I had the chance. Then we could be together forever, fallen angels.

The tragedy of that sort of love is immense. Good job of bringing a good mixture of darkness into it!

There was a boy once-and I can’t inhale the scent of Marlboro’s or leather without memories flooding back. This was a beautiful piece.

Creepy, yet beautiful. The kind of love everyone fears, and many run away from. Maybe it all makes sense…

Reminds me of that young couple that killed a husband and wife. She was young. Tragic. Great telling. We confuse obession with love. Love is neither violent nor destructive. I’ve known the ache to desperately want someone.
