Love
Love.
Sudden…unexpected.
Lifting the heart
Out of the dark, empty crevices of life.
It breaks you.
Sticks its greedy little hands into your soul.
Pulling, twisting.
Until all that remains are shreds of who you used to be.
“Heartbreak will be painful”
They told you,
Wrongly.
Love is brutal.
Love
Is your worst enemy.
Changing you into someone
You vowed never to become.
Altering
Everything you thought you knew about life.
Who you are.
Who you will become.
It all becomes muddled.
Your thoughts, your feelings, your dreams.
What did it do to you? This thing called
Love.
