LOVE....!!

Have you ever been in love?
Horrible isn't 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 person no different from any other person wanders into your life
You give them a piece of you.
They didn't ask for it
They did something one day like kiss you or smile at you and then your life
isn't your own anymore.
Love takes hostage.
It gets inside you...
It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness.
So simple a phrase like maybe we should 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-you and-rips-you- apart pain.
