Untwist

I waited ten years to grasp hold of a woman I knew was too good to be mine.

Back then, I had failed her. But I knew, somehow, someway, unknowingly to her, I'd find a way to make it up to her.

All the years in between, I watched her from afar. Keeping her safe, protecting her from the shadows that crept in the deep, dark of the night.

Then, out of the blue, she unraveled me with one sweep of her innocent little tongue.

The woman drew me straight toward all her light.

Blinding

Intoxicating.

Mine.

It didn't take long for me to come undone. Fall in love and change the course of my life.

Ellie Wynn had untwisted me from leading a lifestyle that should have never been mine.

Then fate gave us a crash course about how not all good things come to those who wait.

I'd failed her once again.

This time, her life is on the line.
I'm strung up because of it. I'm tumbling down because I should have known, the shadow that lurked in the night would steal her from me, in a blink of an eye.

And, now, I'm left to wonder how much can a person take before they break?
