Heart's Desire

"Please, wake up. You can't do this to me."
I look at his face, as his heartbeat slows down every second. This can't be happening. I must be dreaming.

Most of us are raised to be good, to have a good life, to be safe. But sometimes, life dictates what happens to us. There are some things that we may not control because of our emotions and what we see in others.

"Don't look at what others do. You may end up doing things like them."
That's what my grandfather used to say to me. And he's right. But trusting people and having the ability to manipulate others depending on how you persuade them is both a curse and a blessing.
