Anne-Lise, the attraction we feel toward others can really overwhelm our rational side. I wonder if it would be a good idea to teach more about this in school! Some get so badly hurt in this game. I don't know how we can insulate ourselves from our animal nature and desires. It's a challenge. This work could be part of a good lesson on the subject. Smiles!!

Yep, defenseless - good way to put it. I guess love is hard to control and leaves us vulnerable to thieves.

Yes, some people hurt others just because they CAN. Been there, felt that! Anne-Lise, CONGRATS on your win! Janice

Demons hide in the darkness of some hearts who feign love. They are attractive outside. But it is hard to endure them. Powerful write, dear Anne. All the Best.

This is so moving , especially the lines " Merciless in crimson selfishness Your demons left me breathless Striving to pursue love and affection" that hit really deep and hard! Felt that strongly. Sometimes its not easy being with those that have demons that make it so hard for the ones around! Youv written a very touching take on the prompt. Love the title too! Best wishes! Sending you light always
