I feel incendiary, a wildfire. My spirit licks at the gates of a very elaborate, customized, and distracting emotional Hades.

Two days after my dad’s funeral, my mom went on a mission. I never understood it until then–that sometimes a spy doesn’t need a cover so much as she needs a shield.

That’s how it is with relationships, it’s a part of life, and all the great love songs and poems and films have been written by people who were standing where I was that morning as...

We’ve all loved someone way too freakin’ much.

Although I notice there is never a truly good time to have a nice long chat with one´s mother-in-law, unless you are having an extraordinary life and marriage and your mother-in-law is, say, Maureen Dowd,...

If I wasn’t so phenomenal. I would go back to you.

Sadly enough, the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and never explained.

Someday I will have revenge. I know in advance to keep this to myself, and everyone will be happier. I do understand that I am expected to forgive N and his girlfriend in a timely...

Love is the bee that carries the pollen from one heart to another.

But then you left exactly how all the sad songs said you would

At first I thought my wife and I were made for each other. It was as if we came out of the same factory. I think we were made in the USA, because things quickly...

Either give me your hand, or end it now, and put us both out of our misery

Yes. THANK YOU. And say hello to Judas Iscariot.

Every woman that finally figured out her worth, has picked up her suitcases of pride and boarded a flight to freedom, which landed in the valley of change.

I loved you when I left you.

You see it everywhere and everyone seems to be doing it but you. You could have had it as well, and you know it, and that’s what bothers you. Your worst enemy is yourself, and...

I burned by bridges so the devil couldn’t follow me.

Très, très, triste…

You asked me to be an open book. As I’ve already told you, I am. Anything you need to know about me can be found. Don’t confuse me, a paperback, with a book on tape.

…and I laugh and I spin and dance and frolic in ecstasy and I… I hurt no more, while you…you petrified little man, are left to wonder if it’s you I speak of.

Surprises, I feel now, are primarily a form of violence.

Why does everyone think a guy who prefers love to people is missing something in his life?

I cannot compromise my respect for your love. You can keep your love, I will keep my respect.

I met my girlfriend at a bar. But I broke up with her because she was already there, hitting on another guy.

Don’t do this to us.” He warned, his voice hoarse with angry desperation as he realize he was losing her. “You’re letting eleven years of mistrust color everything you’ve discovered I’ve done”.

I know my vision is impaired and cannot be trusted with even the simplest tasks, much less dating. Not that I´ve come within talon distance of a man.

It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasn’t honest either. This had been...

Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed. You’re aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person...

If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don’t. It’s not that complicated. Love, in most cases, betrays the one feeling it. Don’t waste moments...

What plagues people is not those who don’t love them, but those who do.

This does not escape my notice, it is a context. I resent the fact of a context; my social status has shifted and no one is going to acknowldege it, that´s certain. I´m expected to...

Ours was a history of well intentioned beginnings that end with a fight at every turn.

Watch me go. Watch me. Because you said i couldn’t. Because you thought I wouldn’t. Go on, cry now. Cry.

I love you as the mother of my child”: the kiss of death.Mother of His Child: demotion. I am beginning to see this truism: Mothers are not always wives. I have been stripped of a...

I am part of everyone I ever dated on OK Cupid.

In this storyI am the poetYou’re the poetry.

As water is to a thirsty soul so is love to a broken heart

I thought I lost something this summer, but I just realized, I never needed it.

The Betty Lady explains love and splitting up: “It´s like playing the shell game with Jesus. You can´t figure anything out; it´s best not to try. You´ll just humiliate yourself.

The faster you search for a new partner, the faster you will get over your break-up blues…. Love is nothing more than an illusion.

People give up on each other long before they give up on themselves, and they do that, too.

Hands that never touch. Lips that never meet. The Almost Lovers, never to be.

There is that, and there is also the Irreconcilable Differences line. It seems so catchall, so vague. You could say that about anyone, any man and woman at all. Jesus and Mary Magdalene: “Irreconcilable Differences.”...

I haven’t been very impressed lately.By people,or places,or the way someone said he loved me and then slowly changed his mind.

We ruined each other by being together. We destroyed each other’s dreams.

He announces that lately he keeps losing things. “Like your wife and child,” I want to say, but don´t. At fourty, I´ve learned not to say everything clever, not to score every point.

You put me through hell. On purpose. Made me suffer. And there’s no end in sight. I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing, ace, but this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde shit ain’t cutting...

And life goes on like this,an uncomplete poem.

To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.

I knew this for a fact. Little by little, the ache to see him, to hear him would disappear. Little by little I’d forget how his arms felt, how his fingers felt, how his lips...
