Darkest Sins by Neva Altaj

NERA
In a night of blood and death,
Fate brought us together.
I thought I was saving the life of an innocent man,
A man I’d never see again.
I was wrong.
A slight shift in the air.
A glint of silver eyes in the darkness.
I may not see him, but I know he’s there.
My angel of death,
Lurking in the shadows,
Watching over me.
Protecting me,
Before disappearing into thin air,
Until we meet again.
A man who took a bullet for me,
But he won’t touch me,
Love me,
Or even share his name.

KAI
Darkness. Pain. Blood.
It’s all I have ever known.
An empty shell of a human being,
No heart. No soul. No dreams.
Surrounded by death,
I was a dead man walking.
But then, her light shone through my darkness,
Breathing life into my dead soul.
My fearless tiger cub,
My only reason to keep living.
Every time I have to leave her in the light,
My black heart breaks and bleeds,
As I retreat to the shadows,
Where I belong.
I cannot change the past,
Cannot take back what I have done.
My darkest sin.
