The Double-Edged Sword

Love is seen as a blessing in the eyes of people fooled by the pictures painted by fairy tales and dreams. In fact as you begin to let your guard down to love's alluring spell you realize that it is a curse in disguise. You feel the gentle embrace mutate into the poisonous claws of anger sink themselves deep into your exposed heart. The angel that sang sweet notes becomes the demon that you cannot let go, the memory that cannot be erased. Love is a double-edged sword. It kills your loneliness and it kills the emptiness that can only be filled with the joy that those only touched by love would know. It also kills you. Once love's light is out your entire world is blacked out feeling the weight of the world crash down on your shoulders. Love brings you to life, but then it just takes it away in one swift motion that causes ever-lasting pain.
