“The fist clenched round my heart loosens a little, and I gasp brightness; but it tightens again. When have I ever not loved the pain of love? But this has moved past love to mania. This has the strong clench of the madman, this is gripping the ledge of unreason, before plunging howling into the abyss. Hold hard then, heart. This way at least you live.” HeartPoetryFearMadnessPain Of LoveHard HeartednessClosed Heart Book:Collected Poems, 1948-1984 Source: Collected Poems, 1948-1984
“I think that the process of giving your true love to someone, mainly surrounds the act of opening a door inside that's all locked up. Behind that door lives the small child that is the real you. The small child who hurts too much and feels too much and laughs too loud and always believes... true love involves unlocking the many padlocks on that door, taking her by the hand, and guiding her to the arms of the one you've chosen to love. And I think this is why some people change forever... because they loved someone in this way, but it only hurt too much. The little one was wounded. So this is why you take her back and tell her she's better off staying inside. It is a poetic, lyrical tragedy. Some people die this way, before they ever are dead. Or maybe we don't die; maybe we live on, behind that door.” Love QuotesTragedyTrue LoveInner ChildTragedy Of LifeWhat Is True LoveTragedy Of LovePain Of Love Author:C. JoyBell C.
“Have you observed the journey of a water droplet that lands on a large leaf? The way it traverses the streets of the newly discovered city, the intricately designed pathways, sometimes getting lost in the narrow alleys and then finding the main street again. When it reaches the tip of the leaf, it tries to cling on to that threshold for a little extra time, unwilling to part.” Love Quotes And SayingsRomance Book QuotesWater QuotesLeaf QuotesThriller RomanceLove Poetry Quotes For HerLove SeparationPain Of LoveFirst Love Quotes Author:Madhu Menon, Indira Nityanandan, Priya Narayan, Kalpana Ramrakhyani, Tulika Saha, Kusum Chopra, Anu

“We can read every book and stare at every piece of art about the pain of love, but we never know how much it hurts to be exposed until it's real to us. It's a feeling so foreign to our base state that it is impossible to imagine.” RealityExperiencedPain Of Love Book:Recipe for Second Chances Source: Recipe for Second Chances
