Blake: I
am a brother I am a police detective I am a contract killer I don’t want to
love I don’t want to feel I don’t want … EMPATHY. They say some people are born
with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in
empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created
in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes
met mine in the mirror and I couldn’t take her life. I didn’t want to feel,
didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at
every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a
shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life
forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face
truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you
don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you
re-surface.
Melody:
I was a daughter I was a student I was a
victim Did I have his love? Did I make him feel? Did I have his empathy? When
the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed
the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love
would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from
them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never
to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like
tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn't know
these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was
they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his
sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too
dark and they marked us both forever.

About the Author ~
I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be
through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress
growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was
too active, I would want to change the script. I would watch films and think of
ways they could of improved the story if they took another direction.
My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young
and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my
own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made
from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth
telling too.
When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending
time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life, but when I do
get down time, I love attending music concerts with my younger sister, who
shares my reading soul, we are two peas in a pod.
