Love Quote by Louise Glück

“Lived to see you throwing Me aside. That fought like netted fish inside me. Saw you throbbing In my syrups. Saw you sleep. And lived to see That all flushed down The refuse. Done? It lives in me. You live in me. Malignant. Love, you ever want me, don’t.” quote by Louise Glück — Download Open image
