Have you ever been in love?

Horrible isn't it. It makes vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a suit of amour so 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. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase. " let's just 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. Its a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
