If I’m a fool to trust you, what does that say about you?
~O~O~O~O~O~O~
Nobody’s born suspicious. We trust because we think other people are the way we are. Then someone hurts us and we think everyone else is that way.
Treat every suspicious person you meet, gently. Maybe they’ve been hurt really bad.

As beautiful as sin

Sitting cross-legged in the dark on the balcony
Uncharacteristically, enjoying the rain outside
Late in meeting a ‘no-future’ boyfriend she wouldn’t see for a week
He’d parted with longtime girlfriend..again
It wouldn’t ever be more possible or less tempting
I’ve to leave
Try not to go
Hesitating…
Forget the first word
………………………………………..
Secrets cause no casualties.

En route to hell

One folly
Just one time
I wanted to know the taste of pure surrender
It was curiosity, ill-fated
But so tempting, I just couldn’t resist.
There’ll be the world to pay.
I will.
And keep the memory and the metaphor
“As beautiful as sin”
I was Eve for a day. And Paradise, my temporary stop.
