We're still paying.Yet, she demands it still, the useless heart of the ruthless thief and shameless villain she fell for. My fear is, I’m no longer that man.With the lies I’ve told, the life I’ve led, my mistakes are beginning to catch up with me, day by day, one by one.This is my last chance, and I have no intention of losing her again, but as the deception of my past starts to unravel and close in, shedding my humanity may be the only thing that can save us both.Maybe it’s already too late.
