Love is the warmth that keeps away the cold from the inside.
Love is the devotion that ties you to your fate
Love is the yearning that burns the heart as a fuel.
Love is the anchor that keeps you rooted even when everything falls apart.
Love is the voice that calls you back when you're lost.
Love is the risk that you undoubtedly take even when your instinct tells you not to because you know everything will be alright.
Until love isn't...
Until the warmth burns and bruises the skin like fire.
Until the devotion cuts on your wrists like shackles and chains.
Until the yearning twists into an insane obsession.
Until the anchor pulls you down instead of steading.
Until the voice makes you silent.
Until the risk takes your life.
And suddenly you realize that love isn't always as beautiful as a fairytale. It has its own dark sides that no one warns you about.

It's just a small bruise, though, so I guess it's okay?" "Thanks, Doctor," he teased, and she pouted, the warmth of her skin leaving as she settled back into her seat. "How is it my fault you like to fight?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and he fully leaned in. His hand was no longer on the edge of the back cushions; rather, it had moved to her thigh.
