horrible isn't it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens your chest and it
opens up your heart and it means that someone
can get inside you
and mess you up. You build up all these
defenses, you build up a whole
suit of armor, so that nothingcan hurt you, then
one stupid person, no
different from any other stupid person, wanders
into your stupid life...
You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it.
They did something
dumb one
day, like kiss you or
smile at you, and then your life isn't
your
own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets
inside you. It eats you out and
leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a
phrase like
'maybe we should be just friends' turns into
a glass splinter working its way
into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the
imagination. Not just in the mind.
It's a soul-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate
love.
