Love Turned to Seed


love ends.
its blossoming
once glorious lies burnt.
a summer flower turned to seed
hoping to bloom
again.

I love this! The way you described it is so true...We do retreat to recover (ie turn back to seed) but yet still hope to bloom (fall in love) once again... ♥

Love is an expensive comodity!
The question we ask is how much are we willing to pay?

yes, once a relationship ends, we always wonder if we will love again, especially if it was traumatic.
