The Decameron: The wrong way to a man’s heart

The story of Ghismonda and her lover Guiscardo is not well-known in paintings, but has been well covered, most recently by Hogarth.

One of my *Fiammetta's* stories! Ghismonda and Guiscardo were an unlikely pair but in love nevertheless.

A tragic love story...

What Lies Beyond The Broken Love.

I don't want to feel like we have to lie to each other. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I love you like I've never loved anything before. There's something in the very way that you speak; something that sets my soul free. Maybe I'm being foolish, a little childish, believing in this fairy tale, but at least I'm letting my heart win. I'm not letting doubt defeat me, nor am I letting darkness seep in and destroy everything I've worked so hard for. We have something special here, and I will continue to fight for it until the very end, because when you truly love something, you don't walk away and pretend that it never existed. No, instead you try harder than you ever have in your entire life. You fight for what you want, and what you love. For me, the only thing worth fighting for is my love, my choice, my freedom to be me. I will fight for that until the bitter end, whether or not you still love me.      -Hazel Eyes
