Stained with memories and pain.
Who knew a gulf would lay between?
Who knew loving someone, would ache?”

“So now there is not even anyone to dream about, and what an odd feeling. I don’t have the strength to put together the features of a fantasy face. I am heartbroken over no one, over having nobody to wish for. Nobody to hope for. I am heartbroken, usually, over someone. Now I am heartbroken over no one.”
― Jenny Slate, Little Weirds

“I am going to the ball now, Lord Martin. Doubtless my dance card will be full. Do you still wish to reserve a spot?"
So much for not being foolish. She should have just let him forget, which he surely would have done as soon as he saw all the other women in the ballroom.
He crossed his wrists over the newel post at the top and leaned upon it. "Yes, I would like to reserve a spot. If I may have first choice, I'll take the last dance please."
"Well, you had best hope I don't grow tired and leave early."
He replied with smooth confidence. "You won't."
She pursed her lips. "Don't be so sure."
"How can I not be?" he replied. "Because I think you enjoy a good party, Mrs. Wheaton. More than you let on. Or maybe you don't even know it yet. Maybe you've never experienced a night that was truly exhilarating."
He was gazing down at her with presumptuous assistance, as if he knew exactly what she was about, and it shook her inwardly, because curse him, he was right. She had experienced very little excitement in her life because she had witnessed the consequences of women who loved exciting men. She'd seen her mother's broken heart over her father's many disgraces with other women, and Penelope's heartbreak over Martin and others after him.
Most importantly, she knew about rejection. She had been living with it all her life, since as early as she could remember, beginning with the most painful rejection of all- her father's. And later, her husband's. She knew how much it hurt and had learned to avoid it by never seeking attention. Instead, she was deliberately unapproachable. Her mask of contempt was her shield.”
― Julianne MacLean, Surrender to a Scoundrel

“Who knew?
A fragile thing
Could fall in love
So easily
But be left
With nothing”
― Jennifer West, Jennifer Bares All

“Harsh it is to be unloved by the person who once loved you and even harsher it is to unlove the person you once loved.”
― Abushama Khan, Beyond Contemporary Minds

“our life together is more than i ever could've dreamt up. but i've learned that the heart is a very big place, with room for many loves inside. and when one of those loves is lost, sometimes it's too much to ask all the other loves to make up for the one that's missing. the heart needs time to reassemble itself, to learn how to beat again when a part of it is gone.”
― Nikki Erlick
