#sad love quotes
You let sorry sleep in your throat, made it a permanent bed. You’ll cough it up at any chance, you think everything is your fault. You carry a chaos inside your chest, it bangs and scratches at your bones. One day it’ll overflow. Your flesh is not paper, you are not a canvas to a razor. The scars will only be souvenirs of broken moments. You will say they’re stories, but you know they feel more like landmarks of how you failed. Your mind is messy, your heart is aching. Your skin crawls at the thought of it all. You shove the sadness deep into your pit, let it rot and sit. It boils over, only builds to burn you. You’ve become a ghost of a girl, a single haunt to an abandoned home. Who you are, and who you were, are two strangers fighting to open the front door. You are at a constant war. You are too young to be this blue, too quiet for such noise in your head. You were not born to wish to be dead. You’ve got a softness inside you that melts and bends. You speak in sighs, talk with your eyes. There’s a garden of guilt growing in your lungs, the days go down and it’s only getting harder to breathe. It’s all too much for your simple soul, too complicated to control. You bear a weight of a world that only wishes to ruin you. Six feet under soil without a shovel, a walking wreckage trying to grow from rotting roots. You were meant to flourish, meant to bloom into something sun kissed, but warmth hasn’t touched your body in ages. Little girl, set fire to the dark, burn the bridges it crosses to your heart. Turn the rust to gold, bring the death to destruction. Dig the doom out of your hair, let misery melt by the moon. You are an angel with her halo hung low, a shadow of a girl with broken wings. But please, please stay for life and what it brings. You have worth inside you, a purpose pumping through pulse. Hold onto the hope you carry in your palms. Swing from the stars, girl, you are their child. Made from the dust of the dying, you were always meant to shine, always meant to find the light. But sometimes we must collapse before we turn bright.
Isabel Cabrera/ note to self
I miss your warmth. The sunshine buried in your laugh, the way it would shine through your teeth, blinding to my veins. I miss how the moon would get caught in your eyes, how the stars dangled from your bones. The shelter of your arms around me, silencing the chaos of storms. The quiet thunder of your breaths, reminding me I am not alone. I miss your presence, what I once called my home.
“I guess I’m not really over you if I still search for you within other guys.”
Every little feeling
Muddled in my eyes
And all of the confessions
Never leaving my mouth
Under the beat of the drum
Ever so low
Lies my heart
Don’t be afraid
To shout out to the moon
How it is you truly feel
While it’s shining down on you
Don’t be scared
To whisper in the dark
About what your heart desires
It might just answer back
Words of wisdom or insanity
Either way
I hope you’ve thought of me
I owed time
A part of him
That must be why
He made me weak
Tore me down
Made me drown
And broke my will to live
I try so hard to be worthy of love
But deep down I know
I’m too far gone
To make the healthier choice
My heart craves the toxic love
That comes from abuse
My mind fails to reject
The stability of caos
I want to stay
In the eye of the hurricane
Telling you random facts I know
Has me thinking of you while I answer the phone
Or while buttoning up my shirt
While I listen to a song with a hidden meaning
Or as my favorite movie plays
In all those random facts
That become painful to recall
Wondering if you know them too
If you think of me at all
Can I tell you a secret
I think you’d like to hear
It hurts when you are away
And it hurts when you are near
I feel like I am trapped
Even if I am free
And it makes me cry
To know you’re out of reach
Even when you’re right there
Right in front
Of me
I could live my life
Counting the lashes on your eyes
Over and over
And I could spend eternity
Tracing the curves your veins make around your hands
If only you hadn’t let us
Fall apart
I know I sound pathetic
When I say you are the one I can’t live without
But its the truth
No matter if we are near or far
Only you fill my heart’s emptiness
And make my soul a little less of a mess
You make me enjoy life
And being away from you breaks every piece of me
Makes me regret knowing love
Knowing you
