Beast (Learning to Breathe‪)‬

I ran like hell from my past.

I didn't slow down, and I didn't look back.

But I couldn't outrun the memories...

or escape the nightmares.

I came to North Carolina to be alone.

Hayden attracts problems like a magnet.

She's looking for a hero to rescue her.

But I'm no knight in shining armor.

I'm a wounded animal – a Beast.

She tastes like Heaven. 

She only adds to my Hell.​

She makes me want things that I can't have, things I'll never deserve.​

Love isn't always pretty.

Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes it's rough. 

And sometimes it's f***ing dirty
