Dissappointments

One of the worst feelings in the world is finding out something about someone you love that changes everything. Or rather, accepting something that completely and utterly just sucks about someone you love.

It may not be anything you didn't already know... it may not be anything that isn't justified... it may not be anything important at all... but it still sucks nonetheless.

Why is it that we cling to hope when logic tells us it is hopeless? Why do we insist on holding on to lies and misguided intentions when it does nothing more than rip our hearts to shreds and feed it to the family dog? Why do we even bother?

Why do people convince themselves of one thing, when we know that they are fooling themselves? Why do we also buy into their delusions? And then why do we, once the truth comes to light, feel as though it's all our fault? Why do we hurt when we saw it coming like a speeding freight train?

Maybe because in reality it's more like a speeding bullet. We saw the gun... we saw the hand on the trigger and we heard the bang... but, we still hope their aim was off.

Dodging the bullet sure is a lot harder than I thought.
