Deadly Love
The feeling of love,
it’s a wonderful thing.
The butterflies you get when that person is around.
The longing want to hold them,
kiss them,
tell them everything’s going to be ok,
protect them from pain.
But it’s exhausting.
Mentally and physically draining,
as if your mind and body has been left numb,
by this blinding feeling of love and adoration.
It’s harmful,
painful,
and most of all,
deadly.
The reason you do this to yourself,
you love the feeling of being loved by someone else.
