That love which once made me feel comely like a petal. 
Is now the same love , bruising me with its thorns.

Sampreeta

That love!

the Bible says "iron sharpens iron", meaning friends of good character may wound us with truth lovingly applied so we can improve and love better.

This is often the way. I am sorry that you are bruised. Powerful write in two lines. Incredible expression.. tyfs..kimx
