Burn the roots
but keep the roses
Treat the wound
but keep the scar
Fall from love
but keep the friendship
Free the doves
but keep the cage
Lock the door
but keep the key
Lose the pain
but keep the memory
Kill the the heart
but keep the arrow
Discard the card
but keep the value
Blind the eyes
but keep the vision
hide the hate
but keep the sorrow
Burn the roots
but keep the roses

Wow, striking. I don't think I've come across your works before, I'm glad I've discovered you. I think we've all fallen for a friend at some point in life, but you've expressed it so well. Beautiful writing.
