The Stars In Our Scars Quotes

“Feeders (A Narc in Love):

They'll feed off your energy,
Soak up your adoration,
Seem perfect in your eyes,
As the love-bombing ignites the manipulation
They will never truly love you,
They do not love themselves,
But they'll break you down from the inside-out
And demolish your sense of self
And then when they see they cannot control you,
They'll shout, and shut the door,
As you elevate from the ashes,
Gone, is the backing down you had displayed before
Then, they'll drop you,
And from a shaky, fantastical ivory tower you'll fall,
Because they've realised,
They cannot keep you on their puppet-strings anymore”

“Phoenix Queen:

You blaze so brightly
You set fire to the heart of this world.
You conjure up enormous love in all you give,
And keep rising from the ashes as a Phoenix queen.
Some will be burned by your flame,
Try to cool you, put you out,
Make you think that your passion is something to doubt,
But the ones that truly matter will dance with your flame,
Stoke you, stroke you,
And stay lit right beside you.”

“Shedding:

She asked "How can you keep shedding your past?
Your failures, your losses, and people you once loved?"
And I replied:
"Because there are some things you just cannot keep.
They have provided you with the lesson, and you have taken the growth,
So what is left to hold onto?
Keep shedding sweetheart.
Keep finding new and wonderful strengths that you never imagined you owned,
Climbing mountains you never thought you'd climb,
And mending your wounded heart for yet another time
Life is all about shedding.
So don't keep hurting the softness of your soul.
Life's most profound gifts are held in the hands of those who can learn so graciously to let go".”

“Them:

Angel,
It was never about you.
It was always about them.
Their fears, their insecurities,
Doubts and misdeeds,
Their desire to be right
Their lack of feeling to move toward some light.
So don't pound your heart any further.
Don't wrestle with the past.
It was never about you.”

“Breaking:

Keep breaking,
For this is where living truly lies,
In all those dark places,
That held those lost and weary cries,
Because it's through all the breaking where your roots of strength are found,
Through all the mending,
Light gives way, and you smash fresh ground.
Darling, let it break so you can let it go,
And you'll find the surge of healing power through the fiery skin of your soul.”

“No Reason:

If you truly know your heart,
Precious one,
There is no reason to ever doubt it.”

“Bullets:

There is nothing more harmful than words that cause an internal bleed,
So be gentle with hearts,
Be honest with intentions,
But also be kind with your words,
It's tempting to speak in bullets,
To get it all out,
But it takes true strength to step back,
Consider deeply what you want to say
And be guided by love to express yourself
Without damaging a heart
In a cruel, callous way”

“Endings and Beginnings:

Wherever you may find yourself- on the edge of a sunset, on the beams of a sunrise,
Balance is knowing when to hold on, and when to let go.
What ends, be it painfully or peacefully, is just a preparation for something new;
A rebirth, the magical seeds of a fresh perspective coming forth
We are all a story of endings and beginnings; a complexion of ego and soul, love and pain, flowers and vines, fire and water, earth and air.
So don't fear what falls away.
Beyond, in unseen places from far out traces, there is something more wondrous in preparation to come your way.
Darling one,
A heartbeat, the destiny of a new beginning is far too enticing to ever fear an ending”

“How?

How do you pull the sun from her sky?
Watch her spiral into darkness as planets shake and cry
How do you separate a star from her moon?
And ponder why nights are restless, blackened skies filled with an eerie doom
How do you contain the rain that aches to pour and play?
A summer’s day is lesser than she is because you took her rain away
How?
How can lovers so profound end in such shock and dismay,
Ripped from each other,
Just as love felt she'd found the one to stay,
How?”

“Held:

Love is the only thing to ever hold onto.
Even when it was never returned to you
Even if it was used as a tool to hurt you
Because not everyone knows how to love
Or to treat people tenderly
That's why the ones that speak with love and live through love
Will always have an extra special task to fulfil on this earth
And that is...
To keep holding onto love”
