Have you ever been in
love?
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 nothing can 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.
