Seizing Lust

You would think I’ve learned my lesson by now.
That I wouldn’t repeat the mistakes of the past.
That I wouldn’t commit the same sins.
But the crazy thing about sin is, sometimes, it seizes you before you even see it coming.
It blinds you to reason and logic.
Makes you weak where you were once strong and powerful.
That makes you vulnerable.
Especially in Chicago during this growing war between the families.
Everywhere I turn, a new enemy lurks in the shadows.
I’ve done my best to protect those I love.
To keep them from getting caught in the crossfire.
It hasn’t been enough.
And the only way to remedy it is to take lethal action.
