True Love Can Kill Ya


Since even before Romeo & Juliet love has always led us into a dark place of an all consuming jealousy and rage. It's like Cupid is a little demon that grants you a wish of your heart's desire, then turns it into something so extreme and powerful you have no control over your actions. You are so completely and utterly in love you can't even think or reason. You're in a fantasy world where nothing else seems to matter except being with this one person you love so deeply.

Therein lies the danger; because if you allow yourself to relinquish your very heart and soul to another person then you can't possibly comprehend why (over time) they don't feel the same or dump you for somebody else. What happens then? What does love turn into then?

Oh, it can get scary, and I'm sure like me, most of you have felt the sheer loss of your mind and pure hatred that is inevitable in this situation. It is fodder for depressing poetry and tales of dark nights hiding in somebody's house waiting for them to come home with their new lover.

Love actually is like a mystic river: a step into a realm of the unknown; a little monster waiting for you just around the bend; a killer of the heart and soul that has somehow, through the ages, been taken totally out of context and lost in translation. We revel in love -- can think of nothing else. Just as I did. Just as you have, or will, in the near future. But mark my words, love is out to get you -- love wants revenge.

You see, love does not like to be taken for granted -- ever! It does not have a conscience or any regret for its actions once it has been spurned. Love knows only one way to get back -- one way to get even with the person that scorned it. True love, intense love -- can kill you. Which is why I am telling you this.

Yes, love can make us do unimaginable things. Like the song says, "What you won't do, you do for love." And then, "In my world...only you...make me do for love what I would not do."

Until Next Time,



A new sig from 'undocked'

DEAD LETTERS



Quick-Quill Author Icon
Life doesn't always have a happy ending. but every story must have a logical conclusion or it will be dropped in the garbage or used as a 3-pointer into the dumpster. I wrote a novel based on an unsolved mystery. How to end it? It wasn't solved though I had a good idea who the perp was. I have committed the ultimate sin. I took the live person and made him the perp, but because of the lack of evidence he's still walking free. I tied the detectives ends up by adding an epilogue where they got new jobs and moved on with their lives. Okay it was a happy ever after ending for them. The story is told and I can feel good about a 35 year old MS everyone wanted to read.
