Longing Poetry Quotes

“I walk and walk with cold hands.
Back at the house it is filled with longing,
nothing to carry longing away.
I look back over my life.
I try to find analogies.
There are none.
I have longed for people before, I have loved people before.
Not like this.
It was not this.”
― Anne Carson

“i did'nt know
it was the last time
you'd say my name like that
like it meant something

if i had known
i would've
held the sound
a little longer”
― Asra Amjad, Even the moon left me
