“I’m hurting because I can hear your heartbreaking from two rooms over.”

The distance between us is long but my love covers all grounds.

I build my own walls yet I am not strong enough to tear them down.

I’m coming home but this time with softer edges.

I may not have been able to keep my heart, but I’ve kept my strength.

I wonder how many scars I would see if I cut you open to reveal all your truths.

It’s comforting to know that I can still make a home in the places we used to occupy.

Everything I want is in your hands. And yet you have nothing to give.

The battle between emotion and logic is most brutal.

Come sleep in my heart. Make a home of it there.

Before I met you, I had a lion within me.

Emotions are such complex concepts to understand.

The light found me in the palm of your hand.

I’m dancing on the edge of throwing it all away.

Your smile is a delicacy.

No one told me how hard it was going to be to find myself.

The tip of my tongue is a tireless sword that I defend your name with.

The lovesick, the betrayed, and the jealous all smell alike.

The greatest heartache comes from loving another soul, they said, beyond reason, beyond doubt, with no hope of salvation.

I know you were born with your heart already broken. But the world began in pieces and somehow made itself whole.

Take me someplace where I can feel something-I want to give away my heart. Tell me his name so I can know love when it speaks to me. Give me someone I can write about.

I have always thought of memories as fragments, like colored glass shards in a kaleidoscope. It is the source of great beauty in our lives, yet the cause of such heartache. It remains the bridge between our past and present – it gives weight and dimension to our very existence.

Your first love isn’t the first person you give your heart to- it’s the first one who breaks it.

It was words that I fell for. In the end, it was words that broke my heart.

I learned that writing is the consolation prize you are given when you don’t get the thing you want the most.
