Love has some wonderful properties, 12/4/17

Love has some wonderful properties. It makes you something you're not. It makes you sane and insane. It makes you humane and inhumane. It makes you sighted and blind. It makes you overly rational or illogical. It makes you somewhat childish when nothing matters. It makes you extra jealous when there's nothing. It makes you do things you don't do. It makes you prosecute and judge your defendant, or it makes you defend your lover. Perhaps the other way around. It makes you commit murder. It makes you commit suicide. It offers you identity crisis to a certain extent, but also enough motivation, will, and power to kill, just a little, somehow. Who am I? Who am I, now? Who was I? And, who are you? Whose side are you on? On that note, all it would take is but a feeble breeze to knock me off the edge so that I fall into endless tar. I shall sink, effortlessly, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, as the thick, obscure liquid engulfs and swallows my entire being, slowly and gently, until I'm out of breath, and perfectly erased from this world without a trace of ever having lived.
