Jane Austen Was Right When She Said “I Am Half Agony, Half Hope.”

if i was in a jane austen novel i would be the one sent to the seaside for my health

He is so much like me, talking to him is like talking to myself, looking into his eyes is just like looking into the mirror.

One day you will deny to destroy yourself by the immense grief you hold in your heart and the breeze will feel a little sweeter, and the birds will chirp your favourite songs, and you'll realise you've been healing all this while.

heavy-handed with metaphor (as all lovers are) & filled to the brim with music

Books make me feel like i belong.

They give my mind wings,

and hence i fly.

Warm my heart,

and let my ego melt.

Make me feel all the emotions

that I've never felt.

My partner for warm and cold nights,

helped me twinkle in the darkest times.

Never make me feel lonely,

a friend in disguise,

like the sun under the bright blue sky.

Even when melancholy pours,

so does sadness in my heart.

I keep you close,

you're a part of me.

A breath of an artist is an art in itself, bejewelled recollection of a billion poignant tales. A heroic poetry of a broken heart that mends a million cracks around.
