Kindness and patience are the things
I wish to be most abundantly fluent in.
However, you make this very difficult.

To begin,
I will not forget your spitefulness.
I can forgive, but I will not forget.
I wouldn’t expect either from you.
Hopefully we both grow in the interim,
although I will not count on you
ever smiling my way again.

We all seem to think that we, ourselves, are the only ones
who suffer.

I was always more likely to be left alone with a pen.

My love is different from yours.
Mine didn’t meet your expectations,
but unlike yours, mine will probably never end.

orage:

There is an ink stain
on my white bedsheet
left by a pen I’d used to scribble you a note
sometime after midnight
when the dreams and suffering
built to a scream that wouldn’t come
and I could wash it a hundred times
or cut it out
but it’ll never be the same again
nothing will ever be the same again.

“I did not suffer, my love,
I was only waiting for you.
You had to change heart
and vision
after having touched the deep
sea zone that my breast gave to you.
You had to leave the water
pure as a drop raised
by a night wave.”

- Pablo Neruda (via my-southernsoul)

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

- Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets (via writing—quotes)

thelazydaisyy:

I’m watching Beyoncé’s live performance of “I Was Here” at Roseland, which features a ton of footage of her as a little kid, singing at hospitals, in her wedding dress, traveling the world, and I’m sitting here crying because this song always gives me feelings and at least once a week I have to cry to a Beyoncé video because Beyoncé has gotten me through so much crap in my tumultuous young adult life and then the video finishes and this comes on automatically:

Keri, do you mind? Bey and I were having a moment.

partytilfajr:

Sometimes, when I want to get angry at something, I realize that everything is going to cease to exist, like, I’m going to perish, I’m going to die, and that my anger in this situation can usually only do one thing: take me farther away from heaven.

I know this is basically killing the joke but I thought I would share some Laugh Science(tm): the current theory is that laughter evolved as a kind of anti-alarm cry. You laugh when you a) are surprised and b) feel safe so in prehistoric situations where you're on alert and something startles you but actually it's your sister you would reflexively laugh to let everyone know, "Don't worry guys it is not a smilodon!"
