it's all in vain


Love is all in vain

The vulnerability

Romanticized

There is nothing romantic about this pain

There is nothing i love about hurting

There is nothing enjoyable 

In falling to your knees

Praying to God

That they’ll come back

They aren’t coming back

And that is the most painful thing

In the entire fucking world

And there is nothing to romanticize

About heartbreak.
