life love overrated

life/love is overrated

life is unfair, life is cruel. love is unfair, love is cruel.
just when you thought that you have all the things going for you: a better than decent life, a career and a blossoming love life, life and all other things, especially love, comes 'round the corner and smacks you hard. just today, my cousin cheska, whom i consider to be my younger sister, came from the hospital because his boyfriend was stabbed on his side. apparently, they were on a jeep on their way home when a lady, using her cellphone then, was robbed. however, my cousin's boyfriend, mok, being a good citizen tried to stop the thief. the robber immediately stabbed him on the side and on the thigh. the jeepney driver rushed them immediately to the nearest hospital. right now, the doctors are draining all the blood in his lungs and i think he is in critical condition since the wound reached his lungs.
it was just days ago when i found out that cheska was dating mok. and i felt happy for them since i think, mok is cheska's first boyfriend. and now, cheska is in her room, speechless, because of the incident. i tried to console her by visiting her and ask about the condition of mok. i offered to bring her to the hospital tomorrow but she told me her friend was bringing her there already. she was on the verge of tears, eyes - red. i tried to talk but my emotions got the better part of me and i thought it was just best to pat her on the head and ask her to change since her pants were still stained with blood. i told her to rest.
the vision of the blood-stained jeans remained on my mind.
blood red for love. blood red for rage. blood red for anger.
life is unfair, life is cruel. love is unfair, love is cruel.
