“and I still hadn’t changed my opinion,” she said. “I still believe that a double suicide is the absolute highest display of love there is. Think about it, two lovers dying in each other’s arms. What in hell can be more romantic?” “I don’t know,” he said, “staying alive for each other’s sake, maybe?” “What? That’s, like, not romantic at all. The longer you stay alive, the higher your chances to fall out of love. Nothing chews at love like life does. That’s why death is the answer. It’s the only way to immortalize love. It’s the way towards that plane of existence where all you feel is love and nothing else. I wanna go there!” She squeezed her fists and eyes, braced herself as she said it. “Well,” he said, “We’re both out of a job, unwanted by family, no home, no cash, no future…” “All we really need is love!” she screamed, jumping into his arms “Yeah,” he said, “and an overdose.” “I’m with you, dearest cousin!”
What an anxiety inducing theory on love.
‘Nothing chews at life like love does’ – This is kind of true.
The end sums it up nicely. 🙂

The world is full of theories on life and love…
Some are better, more accurate than others, but they all hold some truth.

“Nothing chews at love like life does.” She’s absolutely correct. The only way not to fall out of love is to have a dead partner.

“Nothing chews at love like life does, “ that’s a brilliant line that I’m sure resonates with everyone.
It reminded me of Romeo and Juliet but the twist at the end just destroyed that image in my head and I absolutely loved it.

Lol double suicide as romantic!! How intriguing !! Death and love are always up for interpretation and I am going to add a sweet flavor to this. Every moment that passes; isn’t that a quiet death to what was? If I purposefully committed suicide to the woman I was at 18 I am shedding unnecessary baggage haha OH MY GOODNESS! Your poetry makes me twist thoughts and words and just ponder aimlessly to make sense of the mind blowing you give your readers!! Thank you!!
