Paper Heart Quotes

your touch barbed wire

and I was just a plaything
on a funeral pyre”
― Jennifer LeBlanc, Paper Heart

“But no matter how many movies we watched, we never learned their deepest lesson: they end. George Bailey finally sees his life as wonderful. Rosebud, we find out, is a sled. Travis shoots Old Yeller. One of the things that distinguishes life from movies is the pause button. We can keep Travis' finger on the trigger, the barrel staring down his Yeller, but there is no pause button for the things that matter.”
― Greg Letellier, Paper Heart: Love Stories

“Necromancer

murmur in my ear
one last time
the sweet breaths
of your necromancy
that tempt this dead heart
to beat again”
― Jennifer LeBlanc, Paper Heart
