Book #2 : Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
"It is your blood in my veins
tell me how I'm supposed to forget"
"she was a rose
in the hands of those
who had no intention
of keeping her"
"the idea that
we are so capable of love
but
still choose to be toxic"
"you have sadness living in places sadness shouldn’t live"
"the only reason you know you’re still alive is from the heaving of your chest"
"you are the faint line
between faith and blindly waiting"
"how do you turns forest fire like me
so soft i turn into running water"
"your name is
the strongest positive and negative connotation
in any language
it either lights me up or
leaves me aching for days"
"you were so distant
i forgot you were there at all"
"don’t mistake
salt for sugar
if he wants to be with you
he will
it’s that simple"
"you were
temptingly beautiful
but
stung when i got close"
"how can she love a man
who is busy loving someone
he can never get
his hands on again."
"more than anythingi want to save youfrom myself"
"i didn’t leave because i stopped loving you
i left because the longer i stayed
the less i loved myself"
"i am a museum full of art
but you had your eyes shut"
"love made the danger
in you look like safety"
"you give and give till
they pull everything out of you
and leave you empty"
"i had to leave
i was tired of allowing you
to make me feel
anything less than whole"
"the good thing about feeling in extremes is
when i love i give them wings
but perhaps that isn't
such a good thing cause
they always tend to leave
and you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don’t grieve
i shatter"
"i came all this way
to give you all these things
but you aren’t even looking"
"neither of us is happy
but neither of us wants to leave
so we keep breaking one another
and calling it love"
"your voice
alone
drives me
to tears"
"i don’t know why
i split myself open
for others knowing
sewing myself up
hurts this much
afterward"
"people go
but how
they left
always stays"
"the night after you left
i woke up so broken
the only place to put the pieces
were the bags under my eyes"
"stay
i whispered
as you
shut the door behind you"
"can someone explain that. how even when the love leaves. it doesn’t leave.how even when i am so past you. i am so helplessly brought back to you."
"he isn’t coming back
whispered my head
he has to
sobbed my heart"
"i am losing parts of you like i lose eyelashes
unknowingly and everywhere"
"you cannot leave
and have me too
i cannot exist in
two places at once"
"13. do not beg for what does not want to stay.
14. stop crying at some point."
"perhaps
i don’t deserve
nice things
cause i am paying
for sins i don’t
remember"
"do not bother holding on to
that thing that does not want you
- you cannot make it stay"
"it is a part of the
human experience to feel pain
do not be afraid
open yourself to it
- evolving"
"loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself"
"do not look for healing
at the feet of those
who broke you"
"if you were born with
the weakness to fall
you were born with
the strength to rise"
"i thank the universe
for taking
everything it has taken
and giving to me
everything it is giving
- balance"
"there is a difference between
someone telling you
they love you and
them actually
loving you"
"sometimes
the apology
never comes
when it is wanted
and when it comes
it is neither wanted
nor needed
- you are too late"
"you deserve to be
completely found
in your surroundings
not lost within them"
"accept yourself
as you were designed"
"i know it's hard
believe me
i know it feels like
tomorrow will never come
and today will be the most
difficult day to get through
but i swear you will get through
the hurt will pass
as it always does
if you give it time and
let it so let it
go
slowly
like a broken promise
let it go"
"you were a dragon long before
he came around and said
you could fly
you will remain a dragon
long after he’s left"
"if the hurt comes
so will the happiness
- be patient"
"i have
what i have
and i am happy
i've lost
what i've lost
and i am
still
happy
- outlook"
"we are all born
so beautiful
the greatest tragedy is
being convinced we are not"
"how you love yourself is
how you teach others
to love you"
"if you are not enough for yourself
you will never be enough
for someone else"
"of course i want to be successful
but i don't crave success for me
i need to be successful to gain
enough milk and honey
to help those around
me succeed"
