You Ain't Lying

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.

My goodness isn't that the truth. Love is the only single thing that can make your feel on cloud nine and invincible one minute and rip out your soul in the next. But no matter what we keep coming back for more. *ahem*
oh my! I think I felt those things in the beginning but it bloomed into the real deal. Thank God!! Love can really put you through all kinds of craziness!!

i used to feel like this and shuck love, but now i feel so differently.

i don't mind being vulnerable, because i'm comfortable with my shortcomings. i've had my share of tears and felt my heart bleeding in my chest. but i still love love.

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you commit an error. I can prove it. Write to me in PM.
