"is bitterness, people end up so
bitter.”

“girls
please give your
bodies and your
lives
to
the young men
who
deserve them

besides
there is
no way
I would welcome
the
intolerable
dull
senseless hell
you would bring
me

and
I wish you
luck
in bed
and
out

but not
in
mine

thank
you.”
― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“the gods seldom
give
but so quickly
take.”
― Charles Bukowski, You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense

“Love is not a candle burning down. Life is. And love and life are not the same or else Love, having choice, nobody would ever die.”
