VERSES OF THE BROKEN Quotes

“It is not
the nature of mankind
to bear
such heavy burdens alone.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“And now,
my words seem empty, hollow.

I am left allergic
to your presence,
disgraced me,
not once, but twice.

The very DNA we share
is tainted, fractured.

In the presence of all,
I shall bear it no more.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“My hope has dimmed;
in our absence, fanciful that
we might begin to shed the weight of sorrows long borne.

Perhaps our next meeting shall transpire,
amidst the shadowed realm of death,
by the course we have chosen.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“The weight of such a loss
was far too bitter to endure.

Though I know,
within the depths of my soul,
they carried a poison
that seeped into my very being,
an unshakable obligation
still stirs within me,
binding my heart to theirs,
despite all reason.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“How we hunger
for the tender regard
of another’s longing,
some silent pledge
that we occupy a cherished place
within the cosmic dance,
like a lone star
lamenting its solitude
upon the infinite
canopy of night.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“Sometimes,
my afflictions are so grievous
I feel as though
I am condemned
to a life of endless suffering,
as if paying penance
for some unknown transgression
in a life, long past.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“A bitter taste
settles on my tongue,
and I feel the sting
of an unspoken insult.

In this stark moment,
I question everything:
the words we shared,
the laughter that once felt real,
the trust I placed in your hands.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“I had hoped that this time,
we might have found success,
in the suffering of one another.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“This is not life.
This is not living.
This is a prison,
where the bars are my own ribs,
where my heart is held captive.

I scream inside this skull,
but the sound loops endlessly,
fading into the vast emptiness.
I do not belong here.
I do not belong anywhere.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“I am a passenger in this body,
an outsider tethered
to something that is not mine.
Every motion feels rehearsed,
as though I am mimicking a script
written for someone else.

The flesh betrays me
with its weight, its ache,
its relentless demand
for existence.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“It is a deep, relentless ache,
that I cannot escape.

Unfazed,
and perhaps,
relieved, by the pain,
that has taken root.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“And when the rush fades,
we are left hollow,
staring at the wreckage of who we were.
The mirror reveals
no rebel, no hero,
only a shadow of a self
we barely remember.

Still, we return.
The cycle repeats,
not because we do not see the cost,
but because the void terrifies us more.
Better the burn,
than the weight of the fall.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“We choke on the ashes of our denial,
clutching at the edges of recklessness
as if it could make us immortal.

We choose the ruinous path,
not out of defiance,
but desperation.

To feel the sting of fire
as it burns down our throats,
to mistake the rush of adrenaline
for vitality,
to pretend that we are alive.

Fear is a sweet poison.
It courses through us
like borrowed electricity,
igniting what little remains
of our spirit.

It makes us feel invincible,
young, whole, until it doesn’t.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“In my youth
I was nurtured upon the bitter bread of tension,
each breath seasoned by unquiet nights
and guarded dawns.

Thus did my flesh learn
to thrive on the restless pulse of worry,
finding sustenance in the very chaos
that frayed its edges.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“How fervently I long
for them to prove me false,
to reveal a glimmer of penitence,
yet the heavens grant no such mercy.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“How can my voice resound
within such an abyss,
when myriad others cry,
their utterances lost in the chaos?

I am but a wisp among the multitude,
struggling to be noticed,
yet so negligible in the vastness.

The crushing weight
of existence bears heavy,
and I ponder, how might I ascend?”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“It has ever been thus,
an affliction of the shallow,
a cycle unbroken,
trapped in the realm of the surface,
never daring to plunge into the depths,
where meaning resides.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“And though it may be for a brief moment,
they are momentarily freed
from their drudgery
by the spell of imagined possibility.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“So enraptured are they,
by the emptiness within themselves,
that any tale, no matter how fantastical,
is grasped without scrutiny.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“I hope hell exists, if only to meet you there, where we might transcend the sins of our flesh and the torment of our insufferable deeds.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“Life itself is the most formidable
of mental odysseys,
and only those who embrace
the inevitability of transient struggles
will triumph in the grand narrative of existence.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind

“I see the thoughts
behind your eyes,
struggling to break
through the walls you've built.

The way you fold
yourself into nothingness.

It breaks me,
how you cannot see it.
The strength in your scars,
the power in your despair.”
― Nyx Thorn, VERSES OF THE BROKEN: Echoes From A Fractured Mind
