Small chest of drawers decorated with flowers, birds, and insects
Korea, early 20th century
This chest is an excellent example of an early twentieth-century lacquer box with allover mother-of-pearl decoration. The incised floral motifs filled with black ink or charcoal make the piece particularly striking. The shape, size, and compartments suggest that this chest held writing or cosmetic paraphernalia.

An infinitely breaking a heart.
A heart fractal, if you will.

It’s unfair that some heartbreaks don’t heal.

The difference between you and I
is that I never wanted to hurt you
but you wanted me to feel your pain.
Smoke and mirrors sure make a pretty picture,
But for months you’ve chipped away at my spirit
and now all I am are shards and dust.

I’m trying so hard
to not to let the love I have for you ruin me,
but your words cut too deep
and your venom is too strong.

I want to go to bed with you,
Not a broken heart.

Sometimes,
the dark times are what shed the most light.

I hate where my mind wandered tonight.
It went recklessly, with no regard for the emotional repairs that would be needed.
Sometimes I forget that there are still demons lurking in the darkest corners of my brain.
Love sure is a funny thing.

To have your love be doubted is a different kind of pain.

Maybe if I stopped calling,
stopped trying,
and stopped breathing,
you’d realize the weight of your words,
the heartbreak you cause,
and that I’m not so strong after all.
0 notes
I’m burning alive with thoughts of your love and my desire to devour you whole.

I love you so much I can barely breathe when I think about you.

Your love burns like dynamite.

When your heart breaks, mine shatters.

Hours feel like years with you
and these last few months have felt like lifetimes.
I know I was destined to love you.
In this one and the next and the next and the next.
