Fugitive of Love

Fugitive of love. I am on the run. All my life. If childhood is Mum and Dad erupting in violence. Living in silence. I run from childhood. If first love cuts so deep I cannot sleep. Then drops my heart like a red hot coal. I run from love. If wedded bliss means getting a kiss that is cold as a tomb and being alone when two share a room. I run from bliss. Fugitive of love. Hurt too much to allow it in. So, please... let's not begin. There is no hope for you to win. My love. 15/03/2016 FUGITIVE OF LOVE N/A Second Place Only II Deadline 8/8/2016 12:00:00 AM Judged 24/07/2016 Entered now for TAKE THE DAGGER FROM MY HEART CONTEST.

That is so sweet of you Charlie. Remember, I am one of seven children. We have all made it through somehow. If my first love had not suffered and suffers severe bouts of depression, there may have been a happier ending. C'est la vie.
