You were holding my heart in the palms of your hand. You could have been gentle yet you decided to crush it.
She wished to stop all that she has to endure
Percy Bysshe Shelley, from “Prometheus Unbound”
Where there is love, there is bound to be heartache.
The feminine urge to love them with your whole heart even when you know it will never be reciprocated.
"Stars wish away from every which way to the center of my heart with the tip of this pencil, constellations are stenciled within the wind, and the sands of time shine in my mind like moonlight as each grain shaves away my sins.."
I am a celestial harbinger larger than the darkness - eUë
Losing someone close to you is such a crippling feeling.
"If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person."
–Aomame
—Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
We pretend we don't exist anymore.
We aren't "us" now
Even before I was touched, I belonged to you; All you had to do was to look at me.
— Louise Glück, from Poems 1962-2012; "The Burning Heart"
