I knew it was risky
getting involved with her

but damn! she was so hot
I couldn’t help myself

I should have been more
circumspect

I should have been far
wiser

and I paid a high price
for my indiscretion

my wallet and my
beloved red Volkswagen convertible –

stolen

Bob Boyd

This is a Fiction piece, but such things happen in this unpredictable world, and many have gotten seduced by beauty and burned by it. Worse, people can’t always see what they are getting into in the throes of first loves or infatuations. The absolute worst is when this happens to a woman with a charmer who turns out to be an abuser.
