Wretched Love

Don’t ask me how I got here, I don’t want to lie to you.

I’m not a worldly woman.
I’m not cultured, well-traveled or well educated.
I’m just a housewife. A mother.
I’m the woman with the handsome husband, beautiful daughter, the large house.
If you saw it from the outside, you’d probably think I have the perfect life.
You would most definitely be wrong.
But I don’t blame you. We all see what we want to see, turning a blind eye to what others want to stay hidden.
Especially when it comes to love.
They say love is blind.
But I’m more apt to say it’s wretched.
Love is what made me stay.
But love is also what saved me.
When I found him.
The outlaw who saved my life without knowing it.
Until he found out the truth.
