About This Quote

This quote, “My head is full of fireand grief and my tongue runs wild, piercedwith shards of glass”, is about the pain that comes with being madly in love. There are no words to describe how madly in love you feel when you see your perfect person and nothing can ever take them away from you. The pain that comes with this is like glass shards piercing your tongue, which is a metaphor for the pain that comes from the loss of someone.
