"Masochists hold on to broken people. Artists hold on to broken memories."

"Running with sharp knivesnever got me so farbut running with youseemed lovely."

"Wrote you a poem or two. You didn't enjoy them, but I did for you."

"He was good and then really good and then bad and then really bad, but since he was good I got lost in the thought that I could fix it."

"His love was a poison: soft and loveable, hideous yet touchable."

"I loved you with texture. You loved with a softness. Texture brought detail, softness brought folds. Folds brought creases and creases had secrets."

"I write in seconds. I don't stop. I don't think. I simply write and when it comes, it flows and it makes sense because it's genuine. I don't understand thought-out poetry. It doesn't seem real to me."

"Don't allow people to come in and out of your life when it only benefits them."

"They leave to test the waters but fail to realize the waters are full of rapids."

"It wasn't worth it, but at the time it was. And that's all that mattered."

"I'm accustomed to toxicity and can't control myself when I'm near it."

"I never said I love you because I knew he would understand it differently. I loved him, and I still do, but it was as a chapter. It wasn't as a fairytale ending."

"He said he liked my rhythm. I said I liked his heartbeat, and it was within that moment I knew our corners would never meet."

"It was our first date and I asked what his favorite movie is. He asked if I'd judge him, but instead of judging him I just loved him."

"Stop making excuses for other people. For why they do certain things. For how they treat people or how they treat you. Giving excuse and justifcation gives defense which lets them act however they want. It allows them because you tolerated it. Don't accept less than what you're worth because you're worth a lot."

"The thing with breaking up is they leave, but the memories stay."

"I see you in every passing moment."

"Some days I wonder if I stopped writing about him, if I'd love him a little less."

"The truth is: I was lost in him. I had gone from losing one of the most important people in my life and then losing someone I loved a month later. I wrapped myself in people, in lust, in the idea of love. I met him and I met a gentlemen, and when I found out who he truly was, I was still in love with the gentleman and justified all of his actions."

"The problem was I always took the blame. But he was wrong. But I thought me taking the blame could fix it."

"Don't break my heart. Crush it. Destroy it. Let me wallow it until I feel hollow in it. I'll bash in the pain. I'll scream your name and then one day I suddenly won't."

"One day he'll realize he is and was wrong. But that's for him to figure out. You can't change people or make them realize things they don't want to see."

"Instead of writing my rules, I followed his. And that's when I knew it all went wrong."

"I became to understand you and all of you."

"How you react to a situation says more about you than you know."

"Silence is only awkward if one cannot feel a connection with the other."

"Loving you was easy. Hating you was hard. Falling out was insane."

"I, too, was fiercely independent and thought I could make two equal four."

"I don't remember his face or the place we ate. I only remember how he grabbed my hand and his voice when he spoke of his dad."

"We were in ways I can't seem to grasp. We moved like fluid, scattering our love throughout each other. We moved along, out of our eyes and through our veins. It was unintentionally and in turn, unconditionally."

"I see more light than dark, but when I encounter dark I seem to get lost in it."

"What if I were to wish upon a blood moon that I could have you standing here and I standing there? And when it happens to arrive in eighteen years, that you'll be there, waiting for me like I'll be waiting for you. As we did on the night where the moon shined down and I saw you standing in white with eyes that could ignite and a fire which couldn't quite die."

"And I went into the new year loving myself a little less, but a little more where it actually mattered."

"I worked with him in a way where there was no need to align. We felt and the feeling was simple but complex. It was the intensity in our grasp and when it was done, it was done."

"Hallucinations aren't always out of the ordinary. How do we know we're not hallucinating if everything seems plausible?"

"I realized I loved him after everything went wrong so I wallowed in self-pity and prayed I could wake up."

"To fall in love with pain is to fall in love with art."

"It didn't affect him because he couldn't fathom how I felt. He never saw how I held or how I dealt. And when a breeze hits, his first thought is never a scent. We worked in different ways and different places, which were divided by a constellation."

"When you complete yourself is when you can complete someone else."

"How can you be afraid to live yet scared to die?"

"He said I wanted revenge, but if I wanted revenge I would've just broken his heart."

"I stopped writing in a way they would understand because it wasn't for them or even him. It was for I to understand, for I to make sense, and for I to let go of it."

"He said he was going to fix everything and I believed him. But I believed him before and again some. And I guess I got lost in the resentment of disbelief."

"When someone says they love you, don't believe it. Love is shown with actions and not words."

"We grow apart because we grow in different stages and not all of our stages align."

"Give second chances, third chances, but not a fourth, a fifth, a sixth and so on. Appreciate yourself and understand your worth " know it takes time for people to change, to become better. But know what you can take and what you deserve."

"We were as big as the ocean, but as fragile as an ego."

"It wasn't good. It was good in the beginning and I held on to that."

"Sometimes relationships aren't meant to be forever. We stumble upon one another to learn, to love, to appreciate and become who we're supposed to be."

"Maybe the problem isn't everything and everyone around you, but what lies within you."
