#psyx

Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. 

You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, 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 do something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. 

Love takes hostages.. 

It gets inside you.

It eats you up and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like ‘maybe we should just be friends’ or ‘how very perceptive’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. 

It hurts...

Not just in the imagination.

not just in the mind.

it’s a soul-hut, a body-hut, a real gets-inside-you-rips-you-apart-again.

Nothing should be able to do that.

Especially not love.
