Love Stinks

“Your absence has not taught
me to be alone, it merely has
shown that when together we
cast a single shadow on the wall.”

“Parting is all we know of heaven.
And all we need of hell.”

“Where you used to be,
there’s a hole in the world,
which I find myself constantly
walking around in the daytime,
and falling into at night. I miss
you like hell.”

“To love is to suffer, to be loved is to cause suffering.”

“Come back to me in dreams; that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.”

“Remembered and afar
I watched you as I watched a star,
Through darkness struggling into view
And I love you better than you knew.”
