Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You try to be faithful
And sometimes you're cruel.
You are mine. Then, you leave.
Without you, I can't cope.

And when you take the lead,
I become your footstep.
Your absence leaves a void.
Without you, I can't cope.

You have disturbed my sleep,
You have wrecked my image.
You have set me apart.
Without you, I can't cope.”
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Love: The Joy That Wounds: The Love Poems of Rumi

John Lennon
“As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.”
― John Lennon

Mae West
“Ladies who play with fire must remember that smoke gets in their eyes.”
― Mae West

W.S. Merwin
“Separation

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.”
― W.S. Merwin
