I hate love
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it?
It makes you so vulnerable
It opens your chest and opens your heart
And it means that someone can get inside
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 get's inside you
It eats you out and leaves you
Crying in the darkness
So a simple phrase like
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
