" Love's Touch"

Someone once said , "Love is a weakness."

And to be honest I believe the whole heartedly

Love is one of man-kinds most dangerous flaws

It has many names;

* Passion

* Lust

* Greed

* Caring

It wears many mask and means so many different things

So why is it bad , you ask

What makes love so dangerous

Well darling , love is a drug and addiction that cost us ever so dearly

It get you high

Oh god yes it does

You soar above everyone and everything

The world glows with a light you've never seen

A simple touch send you reeling

You're filled with warmth and joy that feels infinite

Then you crash

A million miles an hour onto cold pavement

Blinding pain obliterates your heart

It brings you to your knees

That infinite joy evaporates and black darkness takes its place

It fucking hurts

It hurts because you gave a piece of your self

And darling you will never get it back

But the worst thing is the numbness

You just shut down

The tears won't come

Your heart beat slows

Your eyes no longer dance with light and passion

False words fall from everyone's lips

* Dumb-asses don't know what their missing

* They're idiots

* They weren't worth you time

You even lie, if not to try and convince your self its the truth

* I'm moving on

* I'm fine

* I never really like them any way

Funny how that never works

But oh darling the greatest part is the brilliant advice

*Just move on

* Get back out there

* Come on forget about them

But they just don't get it do they darling

You can't move on

Your feet are nailed to the ground

Your heart barley holding it together

But their words finally get to you

You finally force your self

Go to a party , a club , a bar

Even go on blind dates

But you can't stop comparing

Their lips

Their eyes

The sound of their voice

But you trudge through

Plastering a smile on you face

Rebound is the word that comes to mind

You fell like shit about it

Nobody deserves to be used like that

You know that full well

But it helps, strangely enough

No attachments

No heartache

Clean break with no loose ends

Look darling , I know

Trust me I fucking know

These word's aren't made up , I swear on my grave

The pain will lesson , not disappear mind you

But it will become bearable

The feeling of their touch will fade

Every detail you traced and memorized , every moment you shared will fade

After a while it will be like looking at a water marked Polaroid

Nostalgic , but distant

I 'm gonna sound like a broken record when I say this , but the old phrase is true

Time heals

Maybe not fully

Maybe it will only dull the pain

Stop the blood

But it heals

Like I said love is our deadly flaw

It tears us apart , breaks us down , and drives us insane

It's complicated as hell too

It's not beautiful either , it's fucking chaos

If we are being truly honest that's what makes us strive for it

We want to feel that fire

Knowing full well that it will burn us

But I'm willing to stand on that pyre

I willing to go up in those flames

Because darling I love the heat , I love the touch of it.

And I don't give a dam if it burns me to ashes
