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. Wonders 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 life anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying alone in the darkness. So a simle phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in imagination. Not just in mind. It' a sould hurt. A real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.. I hate love.
