Empty Shell Quotes

“Sometimes by holding onto what you love the most — you end up choking the very life from the thing you want to keep on living. It’s possible to try too hard, to love something so deeply that you lose yourself. The danger is never in loving someone — but losing your identity in the process. Because what happens when tragedy strikes? You’re left an empty shell. You’re left with nothing. ”
― Rachel Van Dyken, Toxic

“Life

luscious wet life bereft of

death, loss of empty shell

minus absent of nothing

exploding star cell

amoeba sweet algae

oxygen,

hydrogen flowering

in the vacuum of

space and magnetic motion.”
― H Raven Rose, Liquid Me: Poetry and Prose
