Unfolding Desires

I'd been hurt. But then again, what girl hasn't?I wouldn't let myself fall again.I was smarter than that.Used them before they used me-live the way I wanted.No man was worth a broken heart.David seemed the perfect match for me.He scared me and thrilled me.Tested me and saved me.But bad habits were hard to break.Love wasn't worth the fall.* * *Roxie stormed into my life, demanded my attention.She'd built thick walls around her heart.I needed to demolish them and claim her.She fought me at every turn-refused to be tamed.I wanted her to be mine.The course of my life changed.I made selfish decisions.Lost my way.I couldn't hold onto her.My mistakes haunted me.
