Love Is A Verb

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you.

You've just got to find the ones worth

suffering for."

-Bob Marley

Tonight I weeded out another poisonous flower from my life.  It doesn't matter how sweet it smelled at times, or how pretty it was when it bloomed.  

We are all taught to forgive.  We are all human, and none of us are perfect.  We all make mistakes, we all have our due apologies to give.  But when the bad outweighs the good, and the price is not worth the package, it's time to let whatever it is, go.  Being self-less and being an a doormat are two very different things.  When it really comes down to it, the only person that you can truly count on to take care of you, is YOU.  Someone who makes you question their love for you, continually lets you down, and even puts you down...may love you in their own mental universe, but if they can't show it and you can't trust them, do you really want their "love"?   

I don't.  

And I don't know what is worse...

1) saying goodbye to someone you love

OR

2) knowing that someone who claims to love you is the one that keeps hurting you.  

Any asshole in the world can say they love somebody.  

It still doesn't mean anything.  

What you feel only matters to you.  

It's what you do to the people you say you love, 

that's what matters.  It's the only thing that counts.
