Falling in love

[ms_ann_thrope]

Love is below us, apparently. Like an abyss. We don't ascend into love, or slide vertically into it. "I was going along just fine and then I tripped and fell into bottomless love pit."

Kinda like that.

Probably punji sticks in the very bottom...

 

[islandman]

Here I am trying to kill you with kindness when punji sticks would have worked all along.

 

[beetlebum]

an abyss? maybe... or a portal that transports you to a rose-colored realm for a while then spits you back out into reality; all gooey, defenseless and vulnerable... a lá the matrix.

Is that your way of saying "I love you?"

Not everyone gets to pick the color of the pill.

 

[islandman]

That's fucked up.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

That's fucked up.

What a kind thing to say. Maybe there's hope for you after all.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

No fucking wonder youre alone and reduced to posting inane brain farts every 15 minutes.


Here's what love is. Any other definition is crazy bull shit perpetrated by pathetic sick fucks.


LOVE IS AN ENDURING SENSE OF COMFORT, JOY, AND CONTENTMENT. Youre where you need to be, and anyplace else is second best. The alternatives never enter your mind. Things cant possibly be better.

 

[Recidiva]

It is an experience of being entirely out of your own control. You can feel compelled to do things that cost you because it would benefit someone else. You can feel compelled to ask for too much from someone who could give it because you need it so badly.

I think people can think they're in love because they want someone else to do something for them, but they end up realizing that they need to give more than they expected.

Gibran got it:

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

Sounds like a poofter.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No Persian in the history of the world ever said anything worth reading.

 

[Saint Peter]

I want love
To roll me over slowly
stick a knife inside me,
and twist it all around.

I want love to
grab my fingers gently
slam them in a doorway
put my face into the ground.

I want love to
murder my own mother
and take her off to somewhere
like hell or up above.

I want love to
change my friends to enemies,
change my friends to enemies
and show me how it's all my fault.

Do you medicate your schizophrenia?

and show me how it's all my fault.

And make me write bad checks.

Never imagined the fall, as it were, to be that... long. More like faceplanting into a puddle of jello.

Are you Persian?

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Are you Persian?

Two thousand years ago.

 

[parodyluvr75]

A little death
Without mourning
No call
No Warning
Baby, a dangerous idea...
Almost makes...sense

Hard to set the punji sticks in a bottomless pit as well...

A puddle of punji sticks it is then.

Are you responsible for the popularity of unfathomable 'poetry'?

You own a cat and live with your mother, doncha?

My mother is dead, I've got a stray cat that comes around sometimes and I've never been a member of U2. So I'm going to say no, yes and no.
