Shards of Sharpenel

Shards of shrapnel are the pieces that remain embedded in your body ages after the blast. All surgeons try to extract as many pieces as possible but there are some pieces that remain so entrenched into the body that it is in the best interest of everybody to leave them there. Those pieces are like the bookmarks in the our life history. Every relationship that goes bust in our life is like a blast ( I guess in that is why they are referred to as blast from past), and they leave shrapnel wounds some temporary , some leave scar and some remain embedded in our body. And one of those rainy evenings these small pieces of metal from the past inflict a small bearable pain , but pain nonetheless.
It is better to love and lose it than never been loved at all and it is even better to love and lose it and find love again. Relationship failure usually leaves us with a shrapnel wound in most cases but yes there are rare cases of fatal one's, but I am talking mortals and select few can always be explained as exception.
In retrospect all mistakes can be corrected or fate can be made a willing accomplice but it is in flashing moment of truth that lines of reason get blurred and moments of madness destroy what is sacred. Every relationship that did not culminate in a way which is widely accepted as success leaves a galaxy of wisdom and it is these pieces of matter that form the building blocks of future universe. There painful memories remind us also of good times that preceded them and also it brings with it the realisation there are moments in life when we gave precedence to some one else other than ourselves and how it felt. It is this very realisation that makes us love once again and in spite of the embedded pieces of metal the soldier moves on to next battle and well and truly believes this will be a victorious one.
But never forget that the shards also make you leave a piece of you behind and always and always keeps a "what if ?" moment somewhere , sometime in some future in some unexpected bend.
