Love is Pain

Love is pain and pain is how we know we're still alive.

So without love would we be living in the land of the dead?

Yes, we would.

I know all of this because it has been the only life I've ever known.

You become so dead inside to the point where you become just an empty shell of who you once were.

An unfeeling hull of a person that you once knew and loved but not anymore.

You don't even recognize your own reflection.

You're so numb inside that not even the most intense pain will wake you.
