Savior by Shannon Myers

Forgive me Father for I have sinned…

I’ve shed enough blood to flood the streets with red… broken every rule in my climb to the top.
It seemed my reach knew no bounds…
Until I almost lost her…
And I was forced to realize that I’d become the very thing I hated; the monster I feared the most.
I fought my way back from the brink only to have everything I loved ripped away from me again. Sooner or later, death comes for us all. The best I can hope for at this point is that I go to my grave with a clear conscience.
I vowed to be their protector.
Just another promise I couldn’t keep.
Maybe in the end, we get what we deserve.
All I know is that love is sacrifice, and I’m a man with nothing left to lose…
