Dedication, "A Feather so Black" by Lyra Selene
“I wanted to believe I was made for this. To hold - to be held.
But I knew I wasn’t”
“Only I know how to love someone like you
And no one will ever love you more than I do”
A feather so black by Lyra Selene
New read for my romantasy book club
It seemed brutally unfair that love did not follow the same laws of balance that nature did. Love could be offered but spurned; longed for but unrequited. Love could simply end - in heartbreak or triumph or slow, dull fade.
A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene
"When you give me your heart, colleen, I want all of it. I want all of you. If you are sharp with broken thorns, let them cut me. If you churn with dark shadows, let them engulf me. And if you love only destroys, let it destroy me. I am already a doomed man."
Irian A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene
Was it truly weakness to love something that could not love you back? Or might it actually be strength - to love something so selflessly that you did not care whether that love would ever be returned?
A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene
"Even loving parents make tools of their children." Eala laughed, rueful. "Shovels to bury their pasts. Chisels to chip away at their ambitions. And weapons sharp enough to carve out revenge."
