RELATIONSHIPS are harder now because CONVERSATION became texting, ARGUMENTS became phone calls, FEELINGS became sublimal messages online, SEX became easy, the word "LOVE" gets used out of context, insecurities have become your way of thinking, getting jealous became a HABIT, TRUST has been lost, CHEATING became an accident, LEAVING became the only option & being HURT became NORMAL. 

LOVE IS...

I was so sentimental about you I'd break any one's heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It's broken and gone. Everything I believed in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn't it? Love was what we had that no one else had or could ever have. And you were a genius and I was your whole life. I was your partner and your little black flower. Slop. Love is just another dirty lie... Love is quinine and quinine and quinine until I'm deaf with it. Love is that dirty aborting horror that you took me to. Love is my insides all messed up... I know about love... To hell with love. Love is you making me happy and then going off to sleep with your mouth open while I lie awake all night afraid to say my prayers even because I know I have no right to any more. Love is all the dirty little tricks you taught me...
