the life of the unrequited

“I am really just a silhouette. A dark shape of a memory. A fragment of some fatal dream. I don’t exist here anymore. My heart has flown away.”

Every poem is still about you.

I love you, knot in my heart. I love you, hands on my hands, hands on my ribs, mouth on my mouth. I love you, stone in my shoe. I love only you. Only you. Only ever you.

If it’s not too much, may I request a theme of forgiveness. I’ve been obsessed with the line “forgiveness is the lifeline of a sinner” and I’m working on a painting based on it but I wanted some extra quotes for extra inspiration.

“I invoked you, bribing Fate to produce you.”

في القطار تبادلنا المقاعد ، كنتِ تريدين النافذة وكنتُ أريد أن أطل عليكِ

“I used to advertise my loyalty and I don’t believe there is a single person I loved that I didn’t eventually betray.”

“She imagines him imagining her. This is her salvation.”

“Some say it’s painful to wait for someone. Some say it’s painful to forget someone. But the worst pain comes when you don’t know whether to wait or forget.”

forced to experience every moment of every day for the rest of my life

“I wish I knew what to do with my life, what to do with my heart…I do nothing all day, boredom settles in, I look at the sky so I get to feel even smaller than I already feel and my mind keeps poisoning itself uselessly.”

“For awhile, I could not speak about you. For every time I opened up my mouth, only blood came out.”

“I choose to love you in silence because in silence I find no rejection, and in silence no one owns you but me.”
