Love is just a four letter word....

Love.  Love is not for the faint of heart and yet so many fall in love on a whim.  Sometimes I wonder if people understand what it means to tell someone they are in love with them.  Love is about respect, compassion, and kindness.  Love, the kind of love that you feel in your soul for your partner, the kind of love that is seared into your soul, does not just cease to exist.  If someone is willing to let it go without so much as a blink of an eye, then it was not love to begin with.  It is not love that hurts another person, it’s all the other bullshit (such as lies, rejection, jealousy, envy, etc…). 

If you love someone, mean it.  Don’t just say it without giving it thought.  I bleed and I feel pain and my soul howls at the moon, I am FUCKING ALIVE.  I don’t regret loving someone because at least I love with all my soul and I love fiercely.  I don’t regret trusting someone and allowing them to swim in my sea of love.  However, once someone shits in my sea of love, it’s time to close the doors of my soul.  I cannot and will not turn the tides of time.  Life is precious.  Fight for the one that is willing to fight for you.  Pledge your allegiance to the one who will pledge their allegiance to you. 

So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
I'm bleeding out
