Description

PistonI didn’t want an old lady,Or a family.Growing up with a drunk for a father, it puts you off wanting to settle down.I gave my life to my club instead,Enjoyed the benefits of what the cut meant.She was only supposed to be fun,Something to pass the time until the next one came along.But then she lied to me, tricked me.I did something I didn’t want to,I gave her my cut, and now, because of club laws,I’m stuck.I push her away at every turn, waiting out the terms of the club.But then I started watching her more.Something didn’t add up, and I realized I was wrong.I fall for her, but she’s not willing to give me a chance.She hates me, but what she doesn’t understand, Is that she’s been mine for years.It just took me time to realize it,And whether she likes it or not, I’m hers too.NatalieGrowing up with a woman who hated that you were born,Who was willing to make you unhappy,It was hard, but it made me stronger.I studied hard, not allowing anyone to bring me down.I didn't want a relationship; I didn't want a true love.That's why I agreed to his arrangement.I've been burned before and not wanting to be again.But then I fell, and I fell hard.I knew he didn't want me or want there to be an us.I was willing to walk away, but things happened.He thought I tricked him, thought I was after his leather,When all I was doing was trying to protect him.And now we're stuck because of club rules.He ignores me and tries to throw money at me.But what he doesn't understand is that I don't need him.I don't need anyone.Then suddenly, he's always around, trying to get me to talk.I ignore him, adamant about handing him his cut back after the allotted time.He's not accepting it, though,He wants me, but maybe too much water has run underneath the bridge....This can be read as a standalone.
