Dismantle & Prevail

Taylor All my life I never knew the true definition of safety. I never knew what it was like to feel protected from those who lurked in the shadows. I spent a lifetime building walls and fighting daily to survive. That is, until Aries bulldozed his way into my life, took me back to his palace, and trapped me behind the safety of the walls. He was always there. Always hovering. Reminding me not to step out of line or get myself killed. But the day he disappeared, something changed inside me. Gone was the resentment and in its place...

Taylor All my life I never knew the true definition of safety. I never knew what it was like to feel protected from those who lurked in the shadows. I spent a lifetime building walls and fighting daily to survive. That is, until Aries bulldozed his way into my life, took me back to his palace, and trapped me behind the safety of the walls. He was always there. Always hovering. Reminding me not to step out of line or get myself killed. But the day he disappeared, something changed inside me. Gone was the resentment and in its place was the dire need to save him…just like he did me. He is no longer the person I once knew. I want to help him. No, I need to help him. Even if it costs me my life. He saved me once and I will do anything to return the favor.

Aries My life runs like a wheel-oiled machine. Rescue those who can’t save themselves. Take care of my family. Repeat. That was until the day my world stopped. I was no longer the brave soul running to save an innocent life. In turn, it was me who needed saving. I fell into a dark twisted web as the months dragged on, but on the day when I had lost all hope, my rescuer came in the form of someone I least expected. Taylor came into my life like a wrecking ball, dismantling and destroying everything I worked for. I know I need to push her away, but selfishly, on the nights of total darkness, she is the one I run to. My mind wants vengeance, but my heart wants to keep her tucked away safe. Both of which could send me into a spiral of complete and utter destruction.
