Have U Ever.....

Have you ever been in love? horrible, isnt it? it makes you so vulnerable. it opens your chest & it opens your heart & it means someone can get inside you & mess you up. you build up all these defenses. you build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person,no different any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life; you give them a piece of you, they don't ask for it. they do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, & then your life isn't your own anymore. love takes hostages, it gets inside of you. it eats you out & leaves you cryin in the darkness, so a simple phrase like: maybe we should just be 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-u-&-rips-u-apart pain. I hate love
