Love Is
Do you know what the problem with Love is?
Very few people hold the capacity to actually love,
Love hurts,
It’s giving someone every broken piece of you and hoping that you don’t come out on the other side with nothing but more scars to show for it,
LOVE
Is Vulnerable,
It’s standing naked in a spot light,
Showcasing all of your faults,
And hoping the good somehow outweighs the bad,
LOVE
Is demanding,
Often occupying parts of your mind you rarely venture to anymore,
Even more so, it is constantly questioning the trauma that makes you, you
The pieces that ache to touch.
Love invades all of your cracks and crevasses,
Even those that are now a stranger to the warmth of your attention,
LOVE
Is lonely
When no one else’s touch will do
In a world of 7 billion people …
Love is the itch that can only be scratched by one
Love is not a surface emotion,
In a world full of glorified falsehoods
The Illusions of love being only rainbows and sunshine have deteriorated the reality that love is beautiful...
But it is also,
Painful.
Love is feeling hurt
And Vulnerable
Or stretched too thin
And even sometimes lonely
Yet still,
Smiling,
Pulling your heart from your chest,
and giving it away.
