Absolution

Looking back, I never imagined I'd be standing here, asking for forgiveness, but here I am, doing exactly that. Wanting her was never in the plans, but when your heart knows, everything else ceases to matter as much.I made my way back home broken and lost, refusing to connect to my old life. Afraid of what I might find, I hate myself for hiding untold truths, and yet I can't bring myself to tell the truth.In her arms, I find sanctuary. Her love not only encompasses me, but it also drives the darkness away and serves as a beacon of hope and my salvation.When our pasts are brought to light, we're thrust into the hell we knowingly created. Will Scarlet forgive me for the blood on my hands? Only absolution will see us through.
