Amelia knew falling in Love was a mistake.
She justified it by claiming it wasn’t the worst mistake she ever made.
The time she slept with “what’s his name” at some party years ago,
And the abortion that followed.
That was a huge error of judgement but not of Love.
She was too young to fall in Love back then.
Love is a tidal sea that washes the blood from the sand.
And leaves it pure white again.
She remembered clearly the long dance she had with Adam,
They never slept together but she felt that he was the one.
They entered each others dreams. That was one of the rules.
So she didn’t mind falling in Love with James.
He obeyed the rules.
He thought about her all the time.
He dreamt about her every night.
He was always in a hurry to meet her,
And the strangest rule of all.
He was ready to die for her.
They had a wonderful life together by the sea.
But there is another Rule. Being unfaithful.
James fell in Love with another woman.
It was Amelia’s best friend.
Amelia caught them in bed together one night.
She casually went to the kitchen and chose a sharp knife.
She went back to the bedroom and stabbed them both in the heart.
She stabbed them thirteen times for luck.
Revenge is the last Rule of Love.
Love is a tidal sea that washes the blood from the sand.
And leaves it pure white again.

Sufficiently dark! 🙏🏻🕊️
Indeed. Thanks for commenting
You’re welcome David 🙏🏻🕊
They say there is balance in all things and the amount of love for someone is balanced by an equal amount of hate or anger. Those that say they never fight are those with no passion in their relationship. There can not be good without evil. A sad and dark story where love and betrayal are balanced with revenge. Nicely done.
