Wicked Rose

What better place to take refuge from the law than under the shadow of the black flag? I tried to live within the law, I truly did, sacrificing my independence and my freedom so my wife could live the life she desired, yet it was her enchantment with a ghost from my past that forced me to flee as a wanted man. Making our way among the lawless with a sea of dissension flooding between us, our own visions of betrayal led us to opposing ends of a battlefield where we were tempted by lust, provoked by power, and bewitched by sorcery. While facing the thrills and tribulations of our life of piracy, that woman of mine showed me how damn difficult it is to love a pirate, and left me wonderin' just how many times we'd be torn apart by the wicked thorns of our lifestyle, before she could finally just be me beautiful rose. --Sterling Bentley-
