Love Is A Lie

Love is a lie, a neurochemical con job
It seems to happen to any old slob
It's a drug that destroys the heart
Once it's torn away from you, you're left torn apart
Love does exist unconditionally
But fades away romantically
I've loved too much and am left broken
Because I poured my heart out into words I've spoken
To those in which I gave myself
That left me in my own private hell
Because of this, my love is dead
And so it goes to family and friends instead
I have yet to find my one true love
Not sure she exists, just see above
It's the only thing I've ever wanted out of life
Instead, I've been stabbed in the heart with a knife
Old fashioned love has long been dead
And only exists inside our head
Movies and tv, books and the like
Have happy endings and never show the spike
That gets driven into your heart eventually
Because that's always the harsh reality
Love fades as time goes on
Because like I said, it's just a con

Hi Sccorpious Alpha, Man! What an emo piece from you! I'm so sorry you feel this way.
You've heard, "You don't find love...It finds you."
Make friends...lots of friends and relax.
It will find you when the time is right.
I love you as an author...if that helps at all...
No? Well, I read you every chance I get...
How's that?... You're fine. A great writer.

[Scorpious Alpha]

Thanks, E, but despite them all coming to me, they never stay. I'm getting older, my chances are getting lower and lower, and I've basically made peace with that.

[Ms claws]

Scorpious Alpha, Yeah, I know. You've inspired me AGAIN. LOVE IS A LIE by Great White...remember them?

[Scorpious Alpha]

You'll also find that aside from Ballester, my work is pretty dark

[Scorpious Alpha]

Saw them open for Lita Ford a few years ago

[Ms claws]

Scorpious Alpha, maybe you need a break from all that Darkness...Get out and have some F-U-N.

[Ms claws]

Yeah, Great White. Tragic.

[Ms claws]

Scorpious Alpha...take heart in melancholy makes great poetry...I've never seen a poem from you...Have I?

[Scorpious Alpha]

Aside from this and Darkness? No, I suck at poetry

[Ms claws]

Scorpious Alpha, Don't say that! I was just now thinking of this write from you. It's really awesome! Read some Bukowski. He wrote like this...reality..and people loved it! In fact, I love this! You're really good! A natural!

SHOES
When you're young a pair of female high-heeled shoes just sitting alone in the closet can fire your bones; when you're old it's just a pair of shoes without anybody in them and just as well.

~ Charles Bukowski

YOU ARE AT LEAST THAT GOOD.

[RomaJ]

This is a incredibly raw and honest expression of deep disillusionment. I truly felt the intensity of your heartbreak, especially in that powerful, cynical description of love as a "neurochemical con job." It takes real courage to put that kind of vulnerability and pain into words.
Truly a moving piece.

[Scorpious Alpha]

Thank you RomaJ, love is often portrayed as infallible, my specialty is showing the ugly truth or the dark side of the coin, and this was written on one of my darker days.

[Ms claws]

Scorpious Alpha I hope you research "emo"

[Ms claws]

I LOVE THAT PICTURE OF YOU TODAY
HOWEVER
I don't want the emo to ruin our "thing"
SO
imma revert
GET BUSY WRITING ...Toe the line

[Scorpious Alpha]

I'm not emo, I'm goth. Emos are such posers

[Ms claws]

Screw you. I'm emo AND metal. Goth? I need to get accustomed. (;

[Ms claws]

No. Love is not a lie. People are liars.
I am real.

[ETERNITY]

I notice you attract females.
You have a lot of charisma.
Enjoy.

[John the Baptist]

Maybe you want it too badly. Maybe you expect too much from it.

NOTE TO SELF: STOP DIAGNOSING WRITES AND JUST ENJOY THEM.
