Complicated

by Kristen Ashley

“It’s you. It was you from the first time you sat your ass across from

me at that table at the Dew and you know it. I knew it. It freaked me and I bailed, that’s how strong your pull was. All the shit I jacked up between us was because I couldn’t deal. I couldn’t adjust that fast to being given a shot at something so fucking beautiful when my life had turned to such shit. I couldn’t believe in it. I wouldn’t let myself believe. But in the end I didn’t have to do dick because you turned out to be just as beautiful as you are and I had no choice but to let you make me believe.”

“You’re forced through the seven circles of hell, you get to the other side, you don’t turn and thank the seven circles of hell for making you pull up the fortitude to endure. You

take hold of what you earned after you got free and you get as far away from them as you can. Unfortunately, my seven circles live and breathe and can drive a car, so they keep following me.”
