-Sylvia Plath, from a letter to Aurelia Plath written c. August 1951
This for all the broken friendships we couldn't save
This for all the words we didn't say cause we were afraid they will not understand
This for all the promises which were not meant to fulfil
This for all the more than friends less than lovers
From Waiting for This Story to End Before I Begin Another by Jan Heller Levi
-Charles Bukowski, "cancer," from Come On In!
The most toughest part in any relation is give up,giving up on that person you once gave the world to. You stop giving explanation, you stop expecting things and even though you want to you just stop yourself from going near that person because you know doesn't matter how much you love them or how many times you forgive them, when you will leave because of the pain they cause you they will not even stop you. Their's some silence in the conversation and some words behind the silence which you both don't listen to anymore or don't tend to listen. Sometimes your heart wants to give them the explanation, wants to tell them each and every thing running through your mind but... But you don't cause you know it will not change a single thing so you backspace the whole paragraph and let them be in peace and that's my friend is the most broken part.
Hands are unbearably beautiful. They hold on to things, they let things go.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
