Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever been in love?
Horrible isn't it?
It makes you so vulnerable.
It opens
your chest and it oepns 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."
