I don’t understand
Why you romanticize love so much
Love is not always kind
It’s not alway careful
It’s not alway happy
Love is a monster
Love makes you yearn
For one who will never love you back
And force you to see them
Every **** day
And face them
Knowing you can never have them
Love is a painful feeling
That leaves you powerless
It strips you of your pride
As you watch him
Happy with someone else
Love is blinding
And you don’t see his flaws
His mistakes
His shortcomings
You overlook how many times he’s hurt you
And how he doesn’t deserve you
Love is selfish
Because you give
Or you take
More and more love
Until one or both hearts
Are empty
Love is a ******* monster
I know
I’ve been a victim
I have all the scars
So don’t tell me
About how beautiful love is
While I lay here
Bleeding and alone
From the beating love gave me
