He sings of suffering. His eyes hold the pain of living in
sorrow.
The moment our gaze meets recognition flares within.
We are tortured souls drifting in a sea of darkness.
He knows I have secrets that I'll never tell.
I am numb
I am broken
I am dirty
I can never be the guiding light through the darkness he
thinks I am.
I have forsaken my past, I rely on keeping myself shut off.
But he has secrets too, secrets that would destroy
everything I have left.
I wish things were different, that maybe we could be each
other's lifeline.
But destiny drags us down like an anchor.
The broken can only drift in the sea barely staying afloat.

Excerpt:
“Mornin,” a rough voice spoke behind me. I turned to get out
of the way and stopped to stare, mouth stuffed with food and all.
Wolfe was standing there in plaid pajama pants with a black
sweater hugging his chest. His hair was disheveled and put in a messy bun like
mine. I wondered what it loo
ked like down. It was then I noticed his face was
etched in amusement. I finished chewing my large chunk of biscuit and swallowed
it down slowly. I bit my lip and looked down at myself. Yep, I was still
wearing my ‘I like big books and I cannot lie’ t-shirt with my purple sweat
pants. My cheeks turned red thinking about how much of a hot mess I was.
I didn’t know what to say in this awkward situation, so I
walked around him to the kitchen. He was just a man; I really didn’t see why I
was reacting so strangely to him.
I grabbed the pitchers of water and coffee then strolled back
into the dining room like I hadn’t just awkwardly run away.I succeeded in not looking at Wolfe until I was forced to sit
next to him. Aggie and Evan had given me no choice.
“Mornin Nera, biscuit?” he asked with a smirk. But ha, the
joke was on him; nothing would keep me away from my biscuits. Not even my
pride.
“Yes, please,” I answered sweetly.
