Darkly Divine

Ablaze is what I feel every time Micah looks my way, because he is dark, otherworldly, and alluring. Irresistible is the pull between us-taut, yet unbreakable-and it binds us to one another despite our efforts to deny its presence. Black and blue is the color of my skin, because my mother doesn't keep her hands to herself. Shattered is the state of my heart, because she is all I have left, and she doesn't love me anymore.
No control is what I have, because in all things, I am powerless. I'm to be forever at the mercy of others. This is my story, and it's one of violence and darkness, but it's also one of love and light.
