Love

Love can be a beautiful thing

It can ensnare your senses,

Confuse you as to which way is up

It can make you do stupid things,
Dangerous things

If you get far enough in it can control you

Make you do things you wouldn’t normally do

Love is the best feeling in the world until…

It all comes crashing down

Then it’s a nightmare

One you just can’t seem to wake up from

You’re plagued by thoughts of what if…

It can be heartbreaking

To think you’re not the one they want

You beat yourself up

You feel like you’ve been slapped in the face

You wonder what you did wrong

You know you still want them

But it hurts knowing they don’t want you

They tear your heart out and devour it for dinner

But that’s after they step on it a few times

And leave it there bleeding

For all to see

A mangled mass of tortured flesh

You feel so out in the open

So fragile and useless

Like the next puff of wind could blow you away

Yes, love is definitely a beautiful thing…

Until it goes wrong.
