Love Pain Quotes

“Sevgilim, günün belli saatlerinde seni unutmayı deniyorum.


Sen bunu aldığında
-ki mektup denemez buna-
umarım bağışlarsın kederimi, haylazlığımı,
umutsuzluğumu, dalgınlığımı; yani
benden geçtiğinde anlamı sarsılan ne varsa...
Umarım her şey olacağına varıyor der,
ve kabullenirsin
kum nasıl çizmişse incecik bir camı.


syf. 71”
― Birhan Keskin, Kim Bağışlayacak Beni

“Why were we tortured? We were in love and life was a fast current swarming around our ankles, threatening to topple us into the wet part of the planet. It was intense, that's why we were tortured. It was enormous and exploding like palm tree. Iris was my Yuri-G, my Delilah, my Stella Marie. Strong dark women you had to love with a strong dark heart that throbbed in gorgeous pain because love is terrible. I mean, ultimately. It would go away like a needle lifting from the vinyl at the end of the song, we knew this. The music would cease, one of us would die or else we'd just break up, and this drove us to drink from each other like two twelve-year-olds sneaking vodka from the liquor cabinet, trying to get it all down, trying to get as fucked up as possible before we got caught.”
― Michelle Tea, Valencia

“But it was long gone in the moment I decided that I wanted it all , the bad and the good everything , as long as I could taste his breath near mine and feel it collide into love. It didn’t just hurt me emotionally , it hurt me in every way , I could feel the pain in every part of me , not only where I had wished that it would remain.”
― Arta Mekuli

unaware of how hollow they are,
thinking they would last forever.”

“The girls Iris went through wound up cracked vases no longer fit for flowers, leaky dust collectors. After Iris, girls left town or started fucking boys. She ruined everyone.”
