Desired

Leaving Dario might be my only way out
But it’ll tear my heart out to lose him
And to complicate everything… I’m pregnant
I know his past weighs heavily on him.
But he’s responsible for what he does in the present.
Losing his mother by his father’s hand must have destroyed him, because Dario wants to fix what can’t be fixed.
I know he wants out. Wants a better life for us.
But his secrets, his past, his life might be too much for us to walk away from.
He wants to be better…
But what good is being better,
If we all die in the crosshairs,
Of the war-like life he left behind?
I’m afraid, confused, and want a normal, happy—safe—life. Maybe, if I run, I can live the life I’m dreaming of…
Because he can’t promise me those things.
And we both know that.
