Turns out my greatest fear is falling in love,
The thought of me being vulnerable to someone who was once nothing but a stranger just gives me the creeps,
Call me daft, call me crazy, call me mad,
I hear that love is magic.
Two hearts coming together and becoming one,
The passion burning within their souls,
Willing to leave everything they once knew just to be with the love of their lives,
This does not make sense to me,
The mystery behind a man falling in love with a woman,
Mister and miss right,
Finding your knight in shining armor,
Finding prince charming,
Fighting dragons and witches to reach sleeping beauty,
Scaling high towers to find Rapunzel,
Beauty falling for the beast,
The princess kissing the frog,
But what baffles me the most is the happy ever after part.
Fairy tales and chick flicks portray this wonderful world of love,
Show a world of endless possibilities full of love and passion,
But when we actually fall in love it turns out to be hell compared to the heaven promised,
The fiction in the tales left out key aspects in love,
Heartbreaks and heartaches,
It left out that the people you love will not necessarily love you back,
It does not show a girl giving her world to a guy who takes her for granted,
A guy who does not appreciate her,
It does not show a desperate wife who stays up late in the night waiting for her drunk cheating husband who hardly looks at her any more,
A drunk who beats her and her children but she still holds on all in the name of love,
At this point paradise has turned into a disaster happy ever after is now happy never after and she still hold on the hope that love conquers all so she suffers in silence all in the name of love.
It did not show guys who treat women like objects, with simple words crafted into traps that steal the hearts of young girls and after the one night stand, the hook-up, the little flick, she is dumped and now the word on her tongue is all guys are dogs and all this is in the name of love.
It does not show that in this time love is equated to sex that is why why we see girls as young as 14 years old losing their virginity, their dignity and most priced possession taken away at such a tender age, all this all about love.
People blindly fall in love without knowing what their getting themselves in to only to find out that the bed of roses promised is really a bed of thorns.
This complicated concept of love being blind,
Love knowing no boundaries,
Love being timeless,
Is a load of crap to me.
You think I'm crazy!!
GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!
