If you have ever had a spill of antifreeze you know this is the way it is: your pets, dogs, cats, love it. The taste is so sweet that they just can't get enough of it. And it is lethal. Once they have tasted of it they will die, as sure as the Sun will rise. And it is a painful death. So, let's rename Love antifreeze. It is so sweet you have to consume all of it that comes your way; it is so lethal it will kill you. Know what? Let's also just rename me antifreeze also. Woman just think I am so sweet and they just can't get enough of me, and I will subject them to a sure, slow, painful death when it comes to a relationship. Of course it kills me too, piece by piece. And the more of me that dies, the more I am numb. I know it hurts both of us, but I have lost so much feeling that I infuse us both with the pain, and I feel it less and less as my heart hardens more and more. Do you remember the movie "American Werewolf in London"? When the lead character, the werewolf, relalizes what he has has become, he shouts to his lady love "I love you, stay away from me!!!" He knows that her love will draw her close, and in his werewolf state he will kill her, rip her heart out. That is me. If you have any feeling for me, I will say to you "I love you, stay away from me". If you don't, I will rip your heart out. I don't mean to, I am a creature of habit, and I do what I know. Stay away, let me suffer in solitude. |
