if you want to break my cold, cold heart, just say, 'i loved you the way that you were.' if you want to tear my world apart, just say you've always wondered.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i will never leave him. it will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

just because you leave like one, doesn't make you a man.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

the culmination of love is grief, yet we love despite the inevitable. we open our hearts to it.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i saw then how i had changed. i did not mind anymore that i lost when we raced and i lost when we swam out to the rocks and i lost when we tossed spears or skipped stones. for who can be ashamed to lose to such beauty?

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

it was not forgiveness—it was not kindness. i could not, would not, ever forget what he'd done to those i loved most.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i will love you, even when all the mortals have forgotten about us and we are nothing but stardust.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames, if we know the steps anyway?

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

'convince me,' snow said. it seems, under that hot pink sky with peeta's life in limbo, i finally did. and in doing so, i gave him the weapon he needed to break me.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

if none of it was really me, then who am i supposed to be?

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i'll never leave. / never mind.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

can you believe they call us criminals when he's assaulting us with that haircut?

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

please, god: a daughter. anything but a son. anything but another me.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i have my mother's mouth and my father's eyes; on my face they are still together.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

that line between the beggars and the choosers is a line you never let me quite ignore.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

my rage had become a living thing inside my chest, an echoing heartbeat that soothes me to sleep and stirred me to waking.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i know this story, i think. i heard peleus tell it, long ago, while achilles grinned at me from the shadows. there was no blood on his hands then, and no death sentence on his head. another life.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

you are not the exception. you will never learn your lesson.

[𑁍 @bardsballads]

i could be the way forward, and i know i'll pay for it.
