My father gave me a ruined boy to compensate for the fact that he does not love me. The boy is fragile, broken–broke himself–broke everything. I asked him why he did it. He said because the world was unlivable. He said it was unlovable, but I think he meant himself. I think he meant that loneliness is sometimes painful. I curl against him, tuck my head beneath his chin and listen to his heart. It says stay and wait. It says regret. He knows what it is to want love, a love so fierce you grow roots. I hear his heart say please. He went looking for angels and found me instead, girl of the sorrows, sad but not sorry. I waited for a sign, a star to fall. He reached for a knife and drew branches.

About This Quote

Life is full of ups and downs. Life is full of happiness and sorrow. Life is full of love and hate. Life is full of pleasure and pain.

Life is full of good times and bad times. Life has no easy way to go, but people are different. Some people are happy with the ups and others are happy with the downs.

Some people don’t let their happiness change the way they live their lives, while others do start to live differently when faced with adversity.
