"Rome is built on ruins
And is quite breathtaking;
What makes you think
You can't be too?" - thegroundzerogirl (vis wnq-writers)

"1. Your kisses tasted somewhere like a city that I've visited before and I think I'm homesick.
2. Our love was like Rome, an empire that crumbled.
3. I read somewhere that the sunlight we see today is actually 30,000 years old. The light is so bright for something so ancient. Your light is the same, I don't think your light has gotten any dimmer since the day that you were born.
4. I will always remember your face, because like a crow, I never forget the face of those who hurt me.
5. I've been out in the snow without a coat, but I've never been as cold as I was the day you told me you didn't love me anymore.
6. I kept trying to make sense of the weather, but it changes so much. I don't know why I ever tried to make sense of you." - //m.o.w//

"Dear True Love,
I'm a writer without any words,
I'm a story that nobody hears,
When I'm without you." - Unknown

"And there she was.
Bad girl with tender lips.
You lose your mind, if you'd see her.
Everyone does. Except one.
The one she'd drowned for.
He is the reason for her being so bad.
Her soft heart was buried in sorrow.
Black magic inside her chest.
And only one, able to break it was the one,
that put a spell on her." - mybrainandotherfailures (via wnq-writers)

"I write best
When I'm either,
Falling in love,
Or falling apart." - Rudy Francisco

"The biggest lesson I've learned this year
Is that no one is really your friend
Or truly loves you
Until they're seen every dark shadow inside you
And stayed." - (via thegoodquote)

"Oh calm yourself, desperate soul
That wishes to meet another.
-
Your bursts of passion, well concealed
Apart from the darting eyes and
Quickened heart,
When in some place
Filled to the brim with potential,
Are dangerous.
-
Your quest for love, for another's being
Leave you in the arms of the unworthy.
They are the poisoned wine that seeps
Into the cracks. Unforgiving in their effects.
-
You sway, you sway and you lose yourself in them. You become them. Their wants,
Their needs.
Until you emerge from your borrowed cocoon and let your fresh skin awaken you.
-
Oh calm yourself, desperate soul
And take joy in other things."
- probablyauralee

"Why am I criticized for the words I speak?
Why are the words that escape me like a waterfall, shameful?
My language is not for you to decide if it is acceptable.
My language is my mind.
My words are my life.
My voice is the only thing I truly own.
A voice of that is not your own is not for you decide if it's right.
It is not for anyone.
For they are merely words that are,
Spoken,
Written,
Thought,
And interchanged.
You own your voice, not words.
Words cannot be censored.
They cannot be trapped.
for they escape my mouth like a waterfall.
And no dam will never be stronger than language
For language thrives,
In literature and communication.
Every part of nature exists in literature. 
Words are life. They are everywhere.
And they are too strong for you to disguise."
-Jean Barnett (via wnq-writers)

"I'm in love with words.
-
I'm in love with the way I can take these emotions-these intangible things-and put them down on paper. And after the initial feelings fade, I can go back years and years later and feel that same emotion again just by reading the words I once wrote.
-
But the thing I love more than words are the moments that cannot be put on paper. Moments so special that there are no words to describe them." - these-dandilion-wishes (via wnq-writers)

"I'm no poet, I don't know how [to] write nor rhyme, what I know how to do is to spill out of the messed up thoughts in my head, hoping it would make sense in words." – darkdome (via wnq-writers)

"I'm still
learning
to love
the parts
of myself
that no one
claps for." - Rudy Francisco

"The thing is, poets can't possibly be happy." - lex-smex (via wnq-writers)

"There's some emotion caught at the back of my throat.
-
And I can't quite put my finger on what it is yet." - afkwrites (via wnq-writers)

"You are a poem, and one day I'll figure out how to write you." - hidden-in-my-eyes (via wnq-writers)

"One day, I decided 'this is not what I am nor what I wanted to become'. So I had risen up from the ashes of my broken mind, determined to take a new path. One forged from love and promise. No longer am I the naïve girl, blinded by the lies and hurt that filled my heart. I raise myself from the ashes like a pheonix born again.
-
I am a poet, not the best, but even Shakespeare would think this message is clear." - Jax, Biopoetry

"Like hair drawn back
From a tormented face." - The Epic of Gilgamesh

"I am missimg him and his world of life. Just a second I wish I hadn't met him. I wish I couldn't feel this pain he caused me.
-
But he's the reason I am who I am today; so I'm glad I met him. Even though I'm hurting
So badly, I'm glad." - thoughtsofthedeepeststans (via wnq-writers)

"Things were easy before you but they were not beautiful. And despite the storms that rage on or the cold deafening silence or the bridge you built to keep your distance from me, I hope this will echo in your head like a broken record,
-
'I have seen you in your worst and I stayed.'"- lewonderstruck (via wnq-writers)
