FALLING OUT OF LOVE
I just wanted to say that this is something I wrote in my teenage years. I found a notebook full of some of my writings yesterday. I hope you enjoy it! ❤️
FALLING OUT OF LOVE
It's easy to fall but hard to let go
Always saying yes but wanting to say no
Always saying yes but wanting to say no
Always giving in when all it brings is pain
It's falling out of love that can drive a heart insane
It's a gateway to emotions but a trapdoor to your heart
It's finding your way out that proves the hardest part
The more you try to make it work, the greater is the cost
Anyway you handle it, it's always love that's lost
It's written in the books that love is worth the pain
But it's falling out of love that can drive a heart insane

I suggest don't doubt your poetry from even back then Ink flows through your veins like water down a river
It's easy to fall but hard to let go:
This line encapsulates the essence of love's gravity. Falling in love is as effortless as tripping over your own feet, but detaching yourself from those feelings? That's like trying to untangle a Slinky in zero gravity.
Always saying yes but wanting to say no:
Here we see the internal conflict, the dance of obligation versus desire. It's like agreeing to another slice of cake when you're already full – you know it's going to hurt later, but in the moment, it feels right.
Always giving in when all it brings is pain:
This reflects the human tendency to cling to what's familiar, even if it's painful. Like watching a horror movie with your fingers over your eyes, you know it will scare you, but you can't help but peek.
It's falling out of love that can drive a heart insane:
The aftermath of love, where the heart does not merely break but goes on a wild rampage. It's less of a gentle fall and more of a roller coaster derailment.
It's a gateway to emotions but a trapdoor to your heart:
Love opens up a Pandora's box of feelings, but once you're in, getting out often involves a dramatic escape. Think of it as entering through the front door of a funhouse and realizing the only exit is a trapdoor to the basement.
It's finding your way out that proves the hardest part:
Navigating the exit from love is like trying to solve a Rubik's cube in the dark – it's frustrating, and you're pretty sure you're making it worse with each move.
The more you try to make it work, the greater is the cost:
The sunk cost fallacy in romantic form. The harder you try to salvage a sinking ship, the more you realize you're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Anyway you handle it, it's always love that's lost:
No matter how you manage the breakup, love, once lost, leaves behind a void. It's like trying to return a friendship bracelet; you can't get the time or the yarn back.
It's written in the books that love is worth the pain:
Literature often romanticizes the agony of love, suggesting it's all part of the beautiful tapestry of life. But...
But it's falling out of love that can drive a heart insane:
Here's the kicker. The real madness comes not from the love itself, but from its absence, from the chaotic process of unloving, which often feels like you're losing your mind one memory at a time.
In summary, this piece is a poetic exploration of love's dual nature – a source of joy and despair, easy to enter but a labyrinth to leave, and ultimately, a profound, if sometimes maddening, human experience
