THE STONES MAKE SLOWLY

If you are lucky, one day you'll get a chance to have your life defined by how much you loved and were loved by someone else. 

I have to say this one connected with me more than the first two collections. I know some were from the previous books but the new ones tugged at me at some point. Though there were also times when I had a hard time connecting the pictures with the words and the meaning was lost to me. Still, I enjoyed the whole book. 

THE PAIN UNFELT

I have told myself you are not allowed to hurt me anymore. That's what hurts most. 

THE ENDLESS NIGHT AND ALL IT PROMISES

You can be beautiful and new forever. Give me forever and I'll prove it.

THE WAVES PUT YOU TO SLEEP

I love you like I love the see. And I'm ok with drowning.

★★★/★★★★★

 

THE WAY SATURN TURNS

All I can do, if I feel this way, is trust that somewhere in the universe, there's a you that feels the same.

 

Really wanted to love this book but I didn't want to force myself to. It's fine and I related to some but like the first book, I wasn't really drawn to it. Have my favorites though.

THE CLOSER

You lie in bed, staring at the ceiling and counting crows.

Someone.

Anyone.

 But anyone could be someone if only you looked a little closer.

THE FOREST OF STARS

There's no point in me saying I miss you.

(I miss you).

THE WAVES PUT YOU TO SLEEP

I love you like I love the sea. And I'm ok with drowning.

THE AGONY OF BEING OTHER PEOPLE

 I keep wondering, how many people do you need to be, before you can become yourself.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LIGHTHOUSES

You can join the millions talking int he dark. Or you can stand up and scream light, out into the night.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BREAKING THINGS AND PEOPLE

Just so you know, there are certain people who were out here to break you.

So you could learn how  to pull yourself back together again.

THE FORWARD

Always have something to look forward to. Make something up right now. Something you want to do. Someplace you want to be. Someone you want to meet.

And look forward to it.

 The City Rises and Falls

You were a dream. Then a reality. Now a memory.

I'm obsessing with poetry these days so I decided to pick this one up and it's fine. I mean, it has pictures and I love the first part of the book but gradually lost interest towards the latter part. I don't know what happened but as I read on I found myself unimpressed with the words and pictures. There were some that I really connected with but some I just didn't get. Maybe it was because they felt too cliche and I think the angsty-teen-vibe has gotten too old for me early in the book.

THE SHAPE OF IT

They want me. I want you. And you want someone else. But none of us want to turn around.

THE WAY GLASS BREAKS

This is the song I only sing when you're sleeping. These are the words I say when you can't hear me. This is the way I look when you can't see me. And you will never know.

THE TRAIN OF LIES

I say that I won't touch you.

But my fingers are liars.

I tell you how I won't hold you.

But my arms are going to hell.

I promise I won't kiss you.

But my lips break it.

I let you that I won't love you.

But y heart has no conscience.

And no part of me will apologize.

THE POINT PAST PEAK FEELINGS

I know you have feelings left somewhere.

But they're all hard to reach.
