Makes me feel sick but I have to take the time to finish it and edit it.\nFor now, please enjoy some solemn poetry on love!","content":"Dear Lover,  \n  \nI am sorry to impose,  \nBut I write to you now with the utmost regret.  \nI must confess to you my cardinal crime:  \nI have masqueraded as something I am not.  \n  \nYou think the world of me,  \nNever a day goes by where you don't sing my praises.  \nYou blush when you mention the candle-lights,  \nThe flowers and the chocolates, the movies and the dinners.  \n  \nBut that is all a beautiful lie  \nThat I have conceived to deceive you.  \nThe rosy dreams, the summer scenes;  \nAll a Photoshop, all a filter that Snapchat nor Instagram could match.  \n  \nI had no grand motive nor reason;  \nNo rationale for vengeance nor domination.  \nAll that I did, the lies I told and the falsehoods I created,  \nAs sick as it is, I did it for you and I did it because I could.  \n  \nHate me if you will  \nFor I deserve nothing less than your scorn.  \nBut I wanted to be the anaesthetic to your aesthetic,  \nI just wanted to make you believe in something better.  \n  \nI know now I am the coat of rose thorns:  \nIn the moment that you wear me, you are beautiful.  \nBut when I'm done with you, and that day will come,  \nYou will be naked, bleeding and alone, and then you will understand  \nHow love leaves scars.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Yours truly,  \nLove  \n  \n\n"}
