But was Narcissus beautiful?

There are no bargains between lions and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.

I want a trouble-maker for a lover, Blood spiller, blood drinker, a heart of flame, Who quarrels with the sky and fights with fate, Who burns like fire on the rushing sea.

Rumi  (via thelovejournals)

I spill without staining, and leave without stirring the air. I do it for love. For love, I disappear.

Kim Addonizio,  ‘For You’ (via soracities)

Just the kind of girl you wanted, all hungry and hurt and needing. A machine for loving you. Nothing in me was not made by you.” 

― Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless

I wanted to rip her from her gilded cage and force the world onto her just to watch her crumble. Misery loves company, and I was nothing if not lonely.
