.love the way you lie.

lately i have been hearing "love the way you lie" by eminem & rihanna so much. it is crazy how the right song comes on at the right moment. this song slaps me in the face everytime i hear it because i have been there before. the place where you are hurt so much by someone and sometimes you accept the dumb things they do or say. you know that they will continue until you stand up for yourself and make it clear that you are not taking it anymore even thought that is one of the hardest things to do. the song basically is talking about abusive relationships & even if you are not getting hit, a relationship can be verbally and emotionally abusive. sometimes for a woman or a man, the love that is felt is so strong that one will avoid the pain which is placed upon them. it will happen over and over again. the song speaks about the pain a person goes through while being in love..sometimes not being to breathe and fighting to the death literally and mentally. fighting to hold on until one party comes to the point where they can't take it anymore & they walk away. i love this song & everytime i hear it, it takes me back to a place where i never want to go again. the saddest part is both people might truly be in love but know deep down the relationship is not healthy for either one of them. they might not want to walk away but someone has to make the responsible decision to save the love they share for each other, because true love knows when it is time to let go. the point of letting go is so that two lovers will not end up resenting each other even though sometimes that can't be avoided. when you truly love someone, you make decisons that may hurt but will ultimately shelter them from pain. when you truly love someone, sometimes the best decision is to be apart from them and even move on. "love the way you lie" is a reflection of a love that is dangerous. a love that once was strong but now hurts all who are involved. love that should be preserved and left with sweet memories so that things will not get worse than they already are.

it's crazy how you love the way you hurt because of the person you're in love with. sometimes the pain seems bareable because you are blinded by the passion but growing up comes with realizing when you are in an unhealthy relationship and knowing when it is time to let go.
