1. "There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."
    F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby (via fleshscars)

  4. A philosopher once asked, “Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?” Pointless, really… “Do the stars gaze back?” Now *that’s* a question. - Stardust (2007)

  5. Drowning Girl by Ursula K. Le Guin

    My head is wet
    My head is wet

    Something
    Something
    I forget

    I did not want to wash my hair

    Something terrible
    unbearable
    or maybe not

    Sometimes babies are born dead

    It doesn’t matter
    in the water
    what I wanted or forgot

  9. Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy

    Not a red rose or a satin heart.

    I give you an onion.
    It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
    It promises light
    like the careful undressing of love.

    Here. 
    It will blind you with tears 
    like a lover.
    It will make your reflection
    a wobbling photo of grief.

    I am trying to be truthful.

    Not a cute card or a kissogram.

    I give you an onion.
    Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
    possessive and faithful
    as we are,
    for as long as we are.

    Take it.
    Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
    if you like.

    Lethal.
    Its scent will cling to your fingers,
    cling to your knife.
