    About this ebook

    Love is broken and twisted. But it's also the only thing worth anything in this world. To find it in its purest form is nothing short of a miracle. Everything we do, everything we are, love is at the center of it all.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      To my love, Anhel

      Love Is Death

      Like sand running through my fingers

      Gone is everything I never had

      Oh how I wish it won't linger

      It fills me up and leaves me sad

      The only thing that lasts forever

      I've given all to find it feel it

      To me it's the only thing that's real

      When it's love two souls merge together

      They die and become one unit

      Their bond is an unbreakable seal

      One cannot live without the other

      Puzzle pieces that were born to fit

      There's no use wrapping your heart in steel

      You see their eyes and it's all over

      It crushes me and I wish it won't

      Won't leave me breathing to watch the wheel

      Years I've made myself believe one day

      Now as my mind grows numb and eyes dim

      I realize I was never meant to be

      Yet the wheel turns begging me to stay

      But hope is lost and my days are grim

      My soul is beginning to atrophy

      In my darkest hour it never strays

      I wish it will leave feels like a sin

      If only I could push it away

      But love steals everything with a grin

      I've lost my life and my sanity

      I've lost all yet it was worth it

      I hope you'll never forget

      Love is a lie it is death

      It's why we still live and breathe

      Love will never be perfect

      Mine is twisted and bent

      Love will die with me

      Never feel the harmony

      One day
