Ghost Of My Ghosts, Sol Rios

do you ever think about this quote by mary lambert because i think about it all the time

But an unquenchable love for you has never left me...

{Quotes: Alejandra Pizarnik, Approximations/Simone de Beauvoir, from Diary of a Philosophy Student: Volume 2, 1928-9; Sunday, October 7/chen chen, nature poem in ‘when i grow up i want to be a list of further possibilities’/sue zhao/ Sylvia path / Maggie Nelson, Bluets/Richard siken/Ingeborg Bachmann, In the Storm of Roses from ‘The Poem for the Reader’, tr. Mark Anderson ,paintings: pinterest}

you tried being GENTLE,         you tried being KIND…

                                            & IN THE END—                                                 you found it made you                                                        even more cruel.

“No place like home, no place like her.”

i beg you to love me, say that i'm enough, but you tell me— why are you like this? i think there's something wrong with you.
