relationship junkyard

Pat Benetar the 80's rock singer so eloquently once stated, "Love is a battlefield."

That being the case, what happens to the relationship wreckage? Where does all the love you had for that person go and what happens to the broken hearts? I know that there are still a few out there ticking away, precariously held together with bits of tape and glue but what about the ones that are broken beyond repair?

Could it be that all of our old feelings and broken bits are taken to a relationship junkyard...sorted out to see what can be used for parts and what gets thrown into the scrap heap?

I'd like to think that someone would wander in and stumble across my little, wounded heart and say, "I can't believe someone would have thrown this away. All it needs is a little work and it'll be like new again."

Interesting take on broken hearts and relationship baggage.

I think the most damaging thing a broken heart results is that when it becomes whole again, it stops trusting people. If we can only somehow learn to trust again and let someone come close to us, I think we would find a reason to love and be loved again.

I think its pretty obvious, Sri, that you have a beautiful heart there are many who would see what it encompasses.
