“In all the wild world, there is no more desperate creation than a human being on the verge of losing love.”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“She was powerful
not because she wasn’t scared
but because
she went on so strongly
despite the fear.”
― Atticus Poetry, The Dark Between Stars

“Obsession is not love,
infatuation is not love,
when someone ignores you
or treats you poorly, carelessly,
or with indifference
that’s not love—
that’s a lack of love,
for yourself, for trying to fill
your missing pieces with theirs
but when someone is whole
and you are whole
and you act in kindness and benevolence, vulnerability
through strength,
love becomes an exchange
with another person—
and that is
its truest form”
― Atticus Poetry, Love Her Wild

“We all wear scars—
find someone
who makes yours
feel beautiful”
― Atticus Poetry, The Dark Between Stars
