Wasted (Love)

«Abandon after use. For my scented reticence that once elevated your carnal desires has now withered into distaste as the seduction is over.» Perhaps we have lost our ability to form lasting affection, or tolerance of one’s departure from their perfect state of being. Once flowers have passed their prime moment they’re unwanted and they’re disposable as trash, despite that they haven’t really aged and still have their full petal jackets on. It is rather telling regarding what we think of the use value of youth in the realm of floral or other lines of sensual appreciation. But isn’t youth overrated?
