Quotes of the day #155

It’s better

to break your own heart

by leaving

rather than

have someone else

break your heart everyday

while you stay with them

The problem is

that we want to be loved

so badly

that we can’t even tell

that it’s not really love

– and I’m still unsure

Quotes of the day #154

I spend days in bed

debilitated by loss

I attempt to cry you back

But the water is done

and still you have not returned

I pinch my belly till it bleeds

have lost count of the days

sun becomes moon

and moon becomes sun

and I become ghost

A dozen different thoughts

tear through me each second

You must be on your way

Perhaps it’s best if you’re not

I am okay

No

I am angry

Yes

I hate you

Maybe

I can’t move on

I will

I forgive you

I want to rip my hair out

over and over and over again

till my mind exhausts itself into a silence

Quotes of the day #150

Unable

to perceive the shape of you

I find you

all around me

Your presence

fills my eyes

with your love

it humbles my heart

for you are

everywhere

a poem whispered by someone in love, hundreds of years ago
