Did she make you laugh? Did she love you as much as you loved her? Did she protect you and warm you and keep you from suffering? Valentine turned her eyes away from him, unable...

Shakespeare had it right all along: Love will kill you in the end.

There’s so much I should say, so many things I should tell him, but in the end I tell him nothing.I cut a line and my losses, and I light a cigarette.

You’ve left me with a kaleidoscope of broken smiles and shattered dreams.

Would you invest your money in a company that ALWAYS showed a loss? Then why invest your heart in someone that has no intention of buying it? Renting my heart is not an option.

The cloudless day is richer at its close;A golden glory settles on the lea;Soft, stealing shadows hint of cool reposeTo mellowing landscape, and to calming sea.And in that nobler, gentler, lovelier light,The soul to sweeter,...

i have loved and i have lost and im starting to believe; its ok. Sometimes what we “think” is best for us, is only the beginning of what is truly “meant” for us. And if...

I knew from the start we were nothing like “forever”. Maybe because forever is such a scary place.

You’re gone and you left me. My heart has dissipated. The only thing I can feel is the blood rushing through my veins and the strings that hold my fragile heart together.

My dad had limitations. That’s what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm.

…there’s something magical about a mask, but I have never worn one – I want you to see my pain and know how your love affects me…

…my father, [was] a mid-level phonecompany manager who treated my mother at best like an incompetent employee. At worst? He never beat her, but his pure, inarticulate fury would fill the house for days, weeks,...

…everything is gone except traces of you inside me – and the years like the wind are sweeping those away …

When she had died, his anchor was gone and the world had burned from his untethered insanity.

I think maybe, when I was very young, I witnessed a chaste cheek kiss between the two when it was impossible to avoid. Christmas, birthdays. Dry lips. On their best married days, their communications were...

…come lie beside me again and understand – the others can show by actions, but I alone will immortalize you in words…

To know true love, even though it was impossible to keep, had finally cracked her heart open enough to let someone else in.

And I think that I cried for days, but now that seems lightyears away, and I’m NEVER going back to who I was

…I will find once again the light of your beauty – your colored windows in the night…

Like a white knight in a station wagon, he drove out of her life.

But I don’t blame you anymore, that’s too much pain to store…it left me half dead…inside my head. And boy looking back I see I’m not the girl I used to be. When I lost...

The things you let go will someday teach you how to fly.
