Falling for Lies

I didn't come looking for forgiveness.
I came for war. I've lied. I've manipulated.
I've run from more than just the truth.
Tyler Michaels was never supposed to matter.
He was the line I wasn't meant to cross
the calm beneath my chaos, the discipline beneath my fire.
But the deeper he pulled me in,
the more the lies we'd buried came clawing to the surface.
I walked into his world with secrets on my tongue
and blood on my hands.
Now the past is closing in.
There are enemies at the door, bodies in our wake,
and secrets between us sharp enough to cut through loyalty.
We were never built for soft.
We were built to burn.
This isn't a love story.
It's survival.
Love was never the plan.
But some lies are worth falling for.
