I let it take over me

I have let myself get too attached. Whose hand do I reach out for? I let love control me. It has coursed through my vains like a virus. It infiltrated every part of my body. Stained it with its magneta shade. It took over the processes of my organs. It took over me. And now I sit here wondering, what I have allowed to happen to me. I opened my heart to love and left myself vonurable to its effects. I left every part of my body unshielded to the effects of love. Thinking somewhere deep down inside that it would cure me. That it would make me happy. But instead it took over me. It took control of my body and of my mind. And now I sit here confused. Immersed in my thoughts. Thoughts about the future. Thoughts of what may be. In this one instant I have changed my life forever. It is not our partner that changes us. We change ourselves. By letting love enter our thoughts and our desires. I give up. I give in to my love. I can no longer resist its powerful scent. I lay here letting it take over me. A force as powerful as this has met no resistence from me. Perhaps if I let it take over me, I will not be destroyed by it. Perhaps it will spare me. But who am I kidding. Love has no boundries, no limits it holds, I am simply doomed.
