Heart broken Quote by Paul Guest
““When I say to you, I have seen the black floor of the ocean, you should know better than to believe me in that moment. My heart was broken, then, and my arms were no good at all. These words are what was left of my breath. I am so very tired of time and of waiting for nothing to change.””
