Love's Crushing Sensations<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Straight to the gut is where these punches will rest <o:p></o:p>
making every innocent victim become more deeply depressed.<o:p></o:p>
Kindness and care are not her true forte <o:p></o:p>
as she delivers each cruel blow in this usual way.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Everything good becomes so terminally uncertain <o:p></o:p>
as she locks you down behind this iron-fisted curtain.<o:p></o:p>
It’s an iron prison, a Metaphorical Museum of sorts <o:p></o:p>
where mummies are wrapped up in solid granite forts.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
You know it’s true so don’t turn a blind eye <o:p></o:p>
that any genteel human cannot truly deny.<o:p></o:p>
An iron fist and chronic unrealistic demands <o:p></o:p>
can break the spirit and soul of many sensitive humans.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
There’s only so much that one human can take, <o:p></o:p>
These emotions are real and are difficult to fake.<o:p></o:p>

Unrequited Love, (unreciprocated love,) <o:p></o:p>
Is the most painful emotion we will ever experience in our entire life.<o:p></o:p>
We all deserve, hope for, and expect more than these crushing, painful, biological,
psychological and physiological experiences that have been realistically described here below:<o:p></o:p>
Did your mind race with anxiety, fear and depression?<o:p></o:p>
Did your thinking become clouded and your body tremble in confusion?
Did you have such a burning pit in your gut that you had to force yourself to breathe?<o:p></o:p>
Did you lose your appetite so that you could not even eat to sustain your own strength?<o:p></o:p>
Did you feel violated and preyed upon by bullies?
Were you able to maintain your focus and attention as clearly as you could before?<o:p></o:p>
Did you have a throbbing-splitting migraine headache and your throat muscles were <o:p></o:p>
so constricted that you couldn't even take an aspirin to save your own life?<o:p></o:p>
Did your feet feel like lead and was there a cloud so crushing over you that you had to <o:p></o:p>
force yourself to walk into the next room with wobbling legs?
Did all the sounds of life around you become drowned out and become nothing more than <o:p></o:p>
a distant buzz?<o:p></o:p>
Did you have a sensation like you had somehow become detached from your own body?<o:p></o:p>
Were you shocked to find yourself talking to yourself out loud? <o:p></o:p>
Did you experience a mild (type of) insanity?
Did the tears well up in your eyes so easily that you were afraid to go outside <o:p></o:p>
in the light of day where everyone could see you in your sadness and shame? <o:p></o:p>
Do those same flowers smell the way they used to,<o:p></o:p>
or has that scent now been occluded and buried under this dark, secret pain?<o:p></o:p>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Does Love's reflection in this darkened mirror look pretty now? <o:p></o:p>
It doesn't feel good does it? <o:p></o:p>
(Yet, these are the toxic sensations and anguish of grief <o:p></o:p>
when one has been devastated by the people they Love, or thought loved them in return). <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
As cruel as it seems here on paper, or in the Daily News, these sensations of anguish are real <o:p></o:p>
and are felt deeply by those who are either "looking for" or "losing" Love. <o:p></o:p>
(Whether it be by our parents, family, a loved one, friends, <o:p></o:p>
or even a complete stranger,) the pain is there.
It's all an unfathomable pain in your mind, in your heart, in your body, in your memory and soul.<o:p></o:p>
But, we treat each other just like this every single day all in the name of "Love."<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Are we even aware and cognizant of our own unforgiving behaviors towards other people <o:p></o:p>
who are caught in these crosshairs of Cupid's Arrow?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Love is the one emotion that we cannot seem to live with, <o:p></o:p>
yet Love is the one emotion that we cannot seem to live without.<o:p></o:p>
Please do something today that you can honestly be proud of tomorrow.<o:p></o:p>
Give Love as the most rarest and precious of all Gifts.<o:p></o:p>
It's not a weapon for torture or control or shame.<o:p></o:p>
It won't cost you a thing, <o:p></o:p>
But you may just get a whole lot more of it returned back to you.<o:p></o:p>
“Poetic Justice” can help at times to untwist the logics in one’s own mind.<o:p></o:p>
But, not every script can be so sublime or written into a simple comedy divine.<o:p></o:p>
