Love
is a burning thing
And it makes
a fiery ring.
Bound
by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire...

Discuss.

23. It's what makes us human
nothing provides higher highs or lower lows. There have honestly been times when I wished that I was asexual instead. But think how boring life would be without it...

3. "Love . . .
"Love sucks shit through a rag
I fell for a wretched hag
Love is a burning pang
Fell in love for a real quick bang"

I could go on and on.

B-)

10. I passed my maximum Zell limit...

13. Just make sure...
you stay focused on the happy endings and not the folks who don't live happily ever after. I had to work at it not to get depressed. I did not entirely suceed.

17. My problem is...
I can't seem to find one that lives in the same zip code as me. And even if I do, there's always something...they're taken already or they're pining after someone else or some stupid shit like that. It's almost enough to convince a girl to change teams.

I'm just whining. I'm gonna go to bed and hope when I wake up tomorrow I'm in a less poopy mood.

Have fun watching the movie. :)

20. It ain't the fall that gets you
it's the sudden stop that does.

LOVE STINKS!"

So are you saying that you have been in love?

24. Yes.
My 14 year marriage almost over. My experiences before and after were less-than-positive. My faith in humanity is about at zero. :(

25. Charlotte Perkins Gilman on love:
"If 'love' is to be selected as the most important thing in life to write about, then the mother's love should be the principle subject. This is the main stream, this is the general underlying, world-lifting force. The 'life-force,' now so glibly chattered about, finds its fullest expression in motherhood, not in the emotions of an assistant in the preliminary stages."

Have you ever seen the movie "Peggy Sue got married"?

26. I saw it years ago.
It's hard to remember much.
I'd have to say you're right though. Everything I've tried to do (like stay for so long when I was so unhappy) was for them (until it got to be so bad, I couldn't stand it). My heart doesn't even break now for myself so much, but for them. My love for them is the only real thing I think I've ever felt.

22. "Love"
Love is a breach in the walls, a broken gate,
Where that comes in that shall not go again;
Love sells the proud heart's citadel to Fate.
They have known shame, who love unloved. Even then,
When two mouths, thirsty each for each, find slaking,
And agony's forgot, and hushed the crying
Of credulous hearts, in heaven -- such are but taking
Their own poor dreams within their arms, and lying
Each in his lonely night, each with a ghost.
Some share that night. But they know love grows colder,
Grows false and dull, that was sweet lies at most.
Astonishment is no more in hand or shoulder,
But darkens, and dies out from kiss to kiss.
All this is love; and all love is but this.

- Rupert Brooke

27. I fell in
to a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down
and the flames rose higher
And it burns burns burns
that ring of fire
that ring of fire

Cue trumpets!
