"That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years".
-Khaled Hosseini, The kite runner
-Christina Rossetti, from "Echo", The Complete Poems
The loneliest thing is no one drew stars around my scars.....
You know the feeling when you are scrolling and you found one poetry or quote and it hits you so hard like those are the words you want to scream, that is the feeling you are getting, you want to express yourself but you never found the right words and when you saw those lines you found your pieces in it
Even death has a heart
-Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
And their are the cold nights where I miss you a little more, my inside crumbles and the heart cries.
Ilya Kaminsky, from "Musica Humana", Dancing in Odessa: Poems
“I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t. I just watched. Paralyzed.”
-Khaled Hosseini, The kite runner
