Quote by Queenie Blackthorn

“Do you believe in soulmates? Do you believe in the concept of love? Do you know how powerful one’s love could be if chained too long? Do you believe in romance, in tragedy? In Love At First Sight? Do you understand how one’s very mind can shatter under such spells? Are you aware how many lives have been stolen in the beautiful name of the world’s deadliest weapon, Love? Are you able to comprehend how important Love is in one’s life, despite being able to take so many away so easily? Love is as a diamond sword–beautiful, but made to kill. Love is as a square of chocolate–sweet, yet hypnotizing and obsessive. Oh, if only I could count how many died at Love’s hand. Oh, if only I could begin to measure how many weep over not meeting their One. Oh, if only Love wasn’t as beautiful as it is cruel.”

“Raindrops suddenly began to fall, wetting the roofs of the huts. They fall regularly, like the weight of life or of time. On nights when it rained, I couldn't stop myself from listening to the sound, which kept me from sleeping. Insomnia, then eternal sleep--held apart from one by death and the other by life, brought closer to one by life and the other by death, and the rain, the rain, the rain, the rain. It rained on the day that my only son died.”

“After Your Death First, I emptied the closets of your clothes, threw out the bowl of fruit, bruised from your touch, left empty the jars you bought for preserves. The next morning, birds rustled the fruit trees, and later when I twisted a ripe fig loose from its stem, I found it half eaten, the other side already rotting, or—like another I plucked and split open—being taken from the inside: a swarm of insects hollowing it. I’m too late, again, another space emptied by loss. Tomorrow, the bowl I have yet to fill.”
