The pain of what it feels like to love someone who has a drug addiction. Presented in a collection of poems. I've never been one to journal so writing my feelings out through poetry is my way of coping and hopefully healing. May this help someone else out there who is going through the same.

She's a shy bookworm on scholarship, desperate to escape the Mafia. He's Chicago's most infamous mob boss, and he's running out of time to find a wife. When Maya Green is saved from a dangerous Italian don by Henry Wallace at a ball, she has no idea who her Prince Charming really is. But when Henry presents her with a deal - save him from an unwanted marriage by becoming his fiancée in return for his protection - Maya is thrust into his world of sin, betrayal, and violence. Now, with a no-strings-attached arrangement quickly becoming something more, Maya and Henry will have to navigate their fiery relationship as they wage a war with the Italian mafia - including its don, who isn't about to let Maya escape his clutches so easily. Will Maya fight to find her place amongst the ruthless criminals who surround her? Or will this business deal have a price that pays in blood?

Playing a tune that I knew since I was a child. I expertly pressed the key correctly, not a single mistake. The beautiful sound coming from the grand piano echos in the room, it feels like it was taking me to another world where I can only imagine. Closing my eyes because that's the only thing that I can do. "I love you," I heard the man said and I stopped playing. "I can't love you," I replied not facing his direction. "I love you," his husky voice that I love, repeated. He was waiting for an answer but I don't have the intention. "I think it was love at first sight," he said. "That's funny," I said still not facing him, "Considering that I'm blind." A man who is a Mafia boss fell in love with a woman who is blind. A woman who is blind sees the true nature of the Mafia man. How can he protect the woman? How can she love the man? The woman who only see the dark and the man who is in the dark. A story that will take you on a roller coaster ride. .Copyright. You are not allowed to copy my story. Since I'm the author of the story I have all the legal rights.
