“Sometimes that's all you can do in life, when it comes to pain - try and understand it. We all carry scars and scorch marks around with us. We cuddle up each night with ghosts of damaging memories - we let them swirl around our heads, never able to settle or heal because we can't make sense of this terrible thing that happened to us, and why we're finding it so impossible to get over. You can't force pain to leave until it's ready to.”
― Holly Bourne, The Places I've Cried in Public

“I'm glad I found you
because
before you
I never knew what to wish for.”
― Atticus Poetry, The Dark Between Stars

“On the day you couldn't hold yourself together anymore,
you called for me, voice crackling like two sets of knuckles
before an altercation.

I found you, looking like a damaged wine glass.
I hugged your shatter, I cut all of my fingers
trying to jigsaw puzzle you back together.

When it was over,
you looked at the stains on the carpet
and blamed me for making a mess.”
― Rudy Francisco, Helium

“Crying is a very obvious sign that something isn’t going right in your life. You should not ignore tears.”
― Holly Bourne, The Places I've Cried in Public
