Poetry Quote by Charlotte Eriksson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I haven’t been very impressed lately.”

“I am not collarbones or drunken letters never sent. I am not the way I leave or left or didn’t know how to handle anything,”

“You were the hardest year of my life and I’ve never been so happy. What does that say about me?”

“You become a house where the wind blows straight through, because no one bothers the crack in the window or lock on the door, and you’re the house where people come and go as they please, because you’re simply too unimpressed to care. You let people in who you really shouldn’t let in, and you let them walk around for a while, use your bed and use your books, and await the day when they simply get bored and leave. You’re still not bothered, though you knew they shouldn’t have been let in in the first place, but still you just sit there, apathetic like a beggar in the desert.”

“But I was young”

“You read and write and sing and experience, thinking that one day these things will build the character you admire to live as. You love and lose and bleed best you can, to the extreme, hoping that one day the world will read you like the poem you want to be.”

“Soy el desesperado, la palabra sin ecos, el que lo perdiò todo, y el que todo lo tuvo.”

“Prison Moon”

“LXXIX”

“I wanted to write some words you'd remember.”

“Tonight I saw myself in the dark window as”

“Tears upon the dry sponge of heart”
