Love is a heavy burden to carry Because love, in all its wisdom Will break you. The price we pay for love Isn’t measured in silver But measured in tears In scars on our hearts And scars on our bodies We will carry to infinity Love is a cruel mistress Who demands supplication Knees bent before her It leaves you senseless Breathless and crazy A raving lunatic When she beckons We follow blindly Euphoria leads our destiny Love is a heavy load to carry It will bend and break you With every lesson it teaches But memories of its bliss Will leave you gasping Yearning for its return
love will break you and put you back together, over and over again.
That it does, Morgan!
It's excellent
But maybe love doesn't come first at all, it comes later
Thank you!
This feels so true. Thank you! Love, V.
Thank you, Virg! <3
Rea, your words cut to the core. Love is both the fire and the scar it leaves and maybe that’s why we can never stop seeking it.🤍🤍🤍
It’s a seductive force, Dora. <3
Beautiful work on the ambivalence of love. "it will bend and break you...yet we yearn for its return."

Love. That push pull relationship. Love wins but only on her terms sometimes. But enduring love stays. Just a great piece to read. 💞
Thank you, Brenda. Love is fickle in her crazy ways.
Ooh Rea.... the longing and yearning for love that once had us broken, crying on our knees... It is bitter but the return of love tastes so sweet.
I have forgiven my heart for loving again. My soul is in a happy place ♥️
