From birth, we’re warned to beware of the wicked.
But in 1994, when I decided I wanted more out of life, I was never told how beautiful the wicked could be.
I didn’t know what they would do once they sunk their claws into me, or how they’d break me just for fun.

I wasn’t ready for the pain that came at the hands of the powerful.
I wasn’t prepared to fall apart or to meet a boy who’d put me back together.
He was forced into my life just as I was thrust into his.

And their worst nightmare.
The world painted us in crimson, but I give it to you clear.

And the truths that were never meant to be told.
