3. an entry describing some sort of affliction

   caleb didn't do much in the weeks that passed. 

   he laid in bed, and only got up when i bought

   him stupid comedies that weren't actually funny.

   even then, he usually cut the movie off halfway

   through, claming that even his passion didn't

   calm his raging heartbreak. then again, i didn't

   do much either. i just watched after caleb, hoping

   he wouldn't spiral deeper into the dark abyss of

   depression, but when i started finding poetry under

   his bed i knew it would take a hell of a lot more than

   stupid movies, and his favorite foods to make him

   happy again.

   love doesn't make us wise, and kind.

   it makes us cold, and foolish

   love is a myth that children are brought

   up on. the kid who wants to fall in love

   is the same child whose parents liked to

   swing blows back and forth at eachother

   with their words.
