Sudden Flames — Shanora Williams

I have been lied to.

Betrayed.

And now, threatened.

With Angelina, it was quick. Sudden.

I was a moth and she was the flame. I had to touch her. I needed a taste. By doing so, my life has completely spiraled.

And then there's Colette, and her slew of bullshit.

She's lied to me to over and over again. Sadly, because of that, I no longer crave her love.

Who am I to trust when the world and the people I love seem to be turning against me?

Who is there to fall back on when none of them seem safe enough?

Betrayal no more.

Give a man like me flames, and I will torch anything that stands in my way.

I will burn it right down to the ground.

And yes, that includes the women I care about.
