My Dark Soul

When Love Falls

To know any form of love

is to know all forms of pain.

You can't hide from it, 

you always feel it, 

and nothing will ever make it better.

The words that you learn to recognize 

as someone wanting to be far from you

hits you like ten thousand bricks

and you're stuck trying to unbury yourself 

but it's never possible. 

You learn to love something 

sweet 

and 

innocent 

and you cry when you watch it die in your arms.

I guess it's inevitable

but I'm not willing to try for it anymore

it's too much work

too much hurt.
