Relationship Junkyard
As Pat Benetar 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 Elmer's 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."

I remember this quote and have thought about it for many years... maybe it helps.. maybe not... but it's worth thinking about...
Human affection is not poured forth vainly, even though it meet no return. Love enriches the nature, enlarging, purifying, and elevating it. The wintry blasts of earth may uproot the flowers of affection, and scatter them to the winds; but this severance of fleshly ties serves to unite thought more closely to God, for Love supports the struggling heart until it ceases to sigh over the world and begins to unfold its wings for heaven.
wow. you're amazing.

This is a thought provoking post, Linny. Thanks for writing it. :)
**what happens to the broken hearts?
they get recycled...atleast mine feels like that...:):)
** "I can't believe someone would have thrown this away. All it needs is a little work and it'll be like new again."
awwwwwwww Im sure someone will pick up ur broken heart Linny...Im so sure it will happen soon and u'll be all brand new again :)
Good luck!
Keshi.
You know, i've had my heart broken, but the thing that I learned is whats the point in being upset and dwelling on something you cant change? Why chase a guy who doesnt want you? You end up feeling pathitic, and miserable....and worse about yourself than anyone else could ever make you feel.
the junkyard analogy is so harsh. Maybe a cobbler's shop where it gets refitted or maybe a small spa where it gets replenished. But not thrown away!
linny baby
where do you come up with this stuff? you're a legend!
thinking that there must be someplace somewhere that stores the fractured remains of our hearts, and re-fits them so we can love again. like a mechanic with an old rust bucket car, the only trouble is the more it breaks the harder it gets to fix
I can see the Discovery Channel special ... on an all-new Junkyard Wars!
LOL
They're living in a trailer park in Vanceburg, Kentucky.
God I wish I knew, my faith is slowly slipping away.
Someone has already wandered in and stumbled across your wounded heart. You just haven't seen Him yet.
Sweet post : )
That is so sweet...It's like how energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
Oh wait, I'm a science geek.
Ha ha. I think somebody will find your heart and make that very comment. Only time will tell. My junk is probably there in the yard too. Have a great day.
Maybe its the Engineer and tinkerer in me... but I'm always amazed at what I can do with some duct tape and coat hangers. Super glue does wonders too. ;)
Pieces of my past broken hearts have got to be in a land fill somewhere in Jersey!
That is a pretty passive attitude toward love. You want someone to come find you. I take the opposite approach. I am out there showing off, getting noticed. This probably doesn't apply to most people. I am a leo and I go forth.
should my heart get hurt, I just melt it down and hammer out the impurities. People should learn and move on. In a related topic, recycling is so awesome.
Hugz.
It's going around today. And what were you doing up at 4:00 am?
I liked this post--extremely profound.
Wow...I think a lot of people took this post to be more like I'm depressed and sad.
I'm not.
I was just thinking about it the other day...thought it was an interesting question.
And no my friend Chuckles...I'm not a pacifist.
Aw, that is a nice idea, isn't it?
Are you kidding?
Someone one day is totally gonna pick up your heart, put it all together and make it like way better than ever.
Cause really, your great.
Been trying to come up with a smart comment and failed :-)
So all you get is, 'I like!!'
Time heals... I like the idea of the words eventually just going away. Blogging about it is good too, though. Maybe they'll leave now.
