Kisses and Lies

I met Marcus at a crematorium.

That should have been my first clue to keep away.

He was nothing I wanted. Yet, everything I needed.

He was dark, dangerous.

And I couldn’t stay away.

Even when I wanted to.

We made a deal—just our bodies.

But lines got blurred.

I asked for more than one night – I ended up asking for forever.

What a mistake that was.

What a mistake he was.

Sometimes love burns.

And sometimes kisses and lies are all you get.
