Wrong Paths

An ode to bad choices.

Your fists grasped handfuls of her past, highlighting her mistakes and illuminating her wrong paths.

You twisted her transparency and preyed upon her vulnerability.

And the secrets she trusted you with were used against her, completely disregarding her fragility.

What more did you you want when everything that she had to give was already yours?

Adding up all of your reasons and subtracting her flaws like you could keep score.

How could you gain her trust when your plan all along,

was to use her light

to feed your insecurities?

All to heal your countless sins

with her rare purity.
