Desperate Run

by C.J. Riggs

I’m angry but my therapist tells me I should take a few breaths before doing something stupid. Killing him too quickly will only piss me off more, and in this case, this is the stupid she is referring to.

I’m no hero, but damn it, I’ll be the shield she never had.

“It’s because beauty is comparable, where you are not. You are my version of perfection, which no one can compare to.”

“I’ll provide you a loaded gun to end my life, because death is the only thing that will separate me from you.”

Love isn’t just something you say or throw about to anyone and everyone. It’s something you feel, it’s in your actions, and what you give. Without the necessity of the spoken word.

Love is supposed to be something that can never be penetrated by the issues and problems of others. Yet no matter how hard we try; love is forever tainted with the possibility of pain.

“You can only wander for so long until you find where you are meant to go, or be found.”
