Love is a monster

Love.

Love is a monster.

Hidden in descise as

heart shaped chocolate boxes.

And Home made love notes

And Music mix tapes.

And Red roses.

And Charm bracletts.

With crappy stick on glitter.

 

 

Love.

Love is a monster.

It inhales your weaknesses

Spitting back vulnerability

That now will lurk in you forever.

Opening up your chest

Seeping into your heart

So it can live in side you

And destroy your indiviguality.

 

Love.

Love is a monster.

It feeds off of your innocence.

Chewing and gnawing at your common sense

So that right and wrong bleed into a blur of confusion

Shoving you into mistakes.

 

Love.

Love is a monster.

it drinks your defenses

The same ones you once made

Just to protect your self

From getting hurt one more time.

But love works in strange ways.

And knocks some stupid person into your life

And you decide that they’re just the most “amazing thing”

But now your stuck with this damn vulnerability

And there is no other choice but to give them a piece of you

That they  don’t want

Nor deserve it

But just the silly thought of being wanted

gets stuck in your head

And love is just sitting back relishing the trainrek of what your becoming.

 

 

 

 

Love.

Love is a monster.

 It takes you hostage

Along with  redroses on valentines day.

And good night  I love you texts.

And butterfly kisses.

And chocolate hearts.

And just having someone to want you.

Just knowing that maybe there is a reason for you.

That somebody actually needs you.

That if you dropped off the face of the earth.

Some one would cry.

And would miss you.

But Love likes to trick you.

And make you feel that way.

But your not.

And In the end.

When he says “its not working”

Love has completed its task.

And You have let that monster love

Burn you

And now

all your left with

 is the cold truth.

first thing i thought after my first "heart break" moment

Reviews

[elizasexybeth]

a really like this poem the way love changes you

[Kenaz]

This is not love that you speak of, I'm sorry to say. It is a well written poem but "love is that you dropped off the face of the Earth and you can't wait for him/her to fall with you, and you know that they would"

[under-the-water]

ok. so have you ever been through a break up. and you the one who is left behind. your the one who was "dumped" or watever. and you have all of these emotions and feelings - negative feelings - almost obsessions - and what are they all rooted from? love. all of those depressed, sad, angry, lonely feelings are rooted from love. so - if love could cause you to have all of those kinds of feelings - couldn't it be looked at like a monster?

[under-the-water]

and thanks for the review. i also agree that love can be the most amazing thing in the world. i think its the closest thing we have to magic. :)

[Kenaz]

I'm sorry, I am not being clear. If that person left you then they never truly loved you. Love lasts even after we are presumed to be long gone.

[Kenaz]

But when you believe it is love and then is taken away, yes it does feel abhorrent.

[under-the-water]

yes. i agree that he probably never loved me. but i loved him. which is - like you said - why these feelings are lasting and lasting. i can't let go - because - he was the first one i ever loved. and this unreturned love is just sitting in me rotting and spreading like a disease through out me - leaving behind unbearable emotions.
and no need to be sorry! hahah i loved your revue because it really made me think!
thanks ;)

[under-the-water]

or are you trying to say that love only exists if it is returned? if so then i get what you are trying to say.

[Kenaz]

Yes! I'm not sure if its souls or hearts or whatever but if they aren't intertwined love can't usually exist. It's terrible that he didn't love you back, but it happens because humans are terrible. When you really find love you will definitely know and you will never leave that person/they will never leave you.

[under-the-water]

thats a different way to think about it. yah - i guess i agree. it makes sense. actually it makes COMPLETE SENCE! and maybe what i thought was love - was really just the enjoyment of being wanted by someone

[Kenaz]

you are a very intelligent being. Don't let what I've told you weigh you down in any way. You reserve the right to think whatever you wish.

[Kaylor Mason]

I sympathize with you. In my experience, love and rejection go so close together they're often the same

[under-the-water]

i agree - which makes it like a tidal wave of emotions just coming at u haha - thanks for the review

[CareLuv]

love really is a monster...makes you think you need another person when you really should be fine standing alone--very interesting, nice write

[Crifa]

In my opinion you speak of lust not love because love is a true saint if it is really love. Good write though, keep it up

[Balkaran Sidhu]

Love truely is a monster.......a demon... that changes you completely...

[under-the-water]

exactly!!! ugh thats so cool that you can relate!! ;)

[Sami Khalil]

I like the ending:
Burn you
And now
all you are left with
is the cold truth.
Nice write

[Eloha]

If Love came to me like a monster, I think Id' fancy to embrace him!

I suppose or I imagine, you did the same thing?

[under-the-water]

yeah - i guess i lamely let myself get sucked in by love, and i then let it spit me out with disgust, letting it relishing the weak and miserable state it put me in.

[Eloha]

Yeah I know the feeling...don't we all.

[under-the-water]

god it feels so good that I'm not the only one with this evil image of love in my head. its sooo awesome that you can relate!! ;)
