Good night - may you fall asleep in the arms of a dream, so beautiful, you'll cry when you awake.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
I am hopelessly in love with a memory.
An echo from another time, another place.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
Iβm not a complicated girl, she laughed, I just want to run away with you, rob a bank, fall in love and eat ice creams in Paris.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
The saddest truth is realising you have fallen madly in love with what can never be.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
A mind possessed by unmade books.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
Love and loss share the same unmade bed.
β

I could taste the salt on her lips, each kiss like a summer wave breaking on an empty beach.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
Lost is a lovely place to find yourself.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
I suddenly realised it's no coincidence the two middle letters of life are if.

Hypnotized
I am hypnotized
Sleepwalking to the rhythm of your words,
Never wishing to wake-
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
I spend most nights at home falling in love with the idea of you.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
So fierce is the passion that burns within my heart ,a raging forest fire,unstoppable and consuming.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
She was the kind of girl
who loved to stretch out
under the sheets,
eating chocolate,
reading books
and fucking on
rainy afternoons.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
She loved to spend rainy afternoons lost in thought, her hand daydreaming beneath the fabric of her floral panties.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Magic tumbled from her pretty lips and when she spoke the language of the universeβ the stars sighed in unison.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
Falling in love is not rational. It's madness. A beautiful, wonderful moment of magnificent insanity.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
There is no perfect ending to a relationship. No magic formula. Just a silent scream as they rip your fucking heart out.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
I have cried an ocean for you but still your ship refuses to sail.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
I never understood desire until i felt your hands around my throat.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Unbutton, unzip, unclip, untie, undo, undress.β
βUnderstood,β she replied.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
I live in a peculiar world," she said, "in a place where reality ends and a fiction begins. Maybe that's why I love you.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Falling so madly in love with you is a tragedy. Nothing in my world will ever seem so beautiful again.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
A mind possessed
by unmade books,
unwritten lines
on empty hooks.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
She was a curious girl, a wanderer, who spent her summers chasing fluttering pieces of prose and eating strawberries.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
I'm a strange girl, hopelessly lost and terribly confused. What's worse, I think I may have fallen madly in love with you.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
We fell asleep as lovers do, listening to the raindrops pitter-patter on the old tin roof, hands entwined and souls secretly smiling.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
I believe in you." Words that water flowers.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
My heart has become a broken compass. Every time I try to leave you, I always find myself running back into your arms.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
She had a mind like a box of fireworks and hands that played recklessly with matches.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Summer Storm
She was wild, unpredictable, beautiful, and dangerous. Impossible to resist. A summer storm in a bikini.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Another day spent slipping away from you.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Do you ever feel guilty?β she asked, clutching a flower to her chest.
βYes,β I replied. βBut only because it has taken me so long to realize who I am and what truly stirs my heart.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
Nobody knows your heart better than you. Trust your instincts. Never let anyone cast a shadow over your sunshine.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
You were my beautiful mistake and I don't regret anything. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
We all make mistakes.
Mine was falling madly in love and forgetting to pack a parachute.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
I suddenly realized itβs no coincidence the two middle letters of life are if. For every action we make, there is a reaction. The outcome often beyond our control, fragile and fraught with ruinous consequences. Like a soap bubble made real by a gentle breath only to be taken by it.

lost is a lovely place

β
Always fight for love-walk barefoot across the jagged shards of a broken heart but never become its victim.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder. Sometimes it just teaches us that we can live apart.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
Sometimes we are so generous with our love, so willing to give it all away, we leave nothing behind for ourselves.

Gold
Love is the real currency - the true wealth we all possess. Spend it wisely.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
I've always longed to turn the last page of a romantic novel but it seems my life is destined to remain a book of short stories.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
In every relationship, there is a defining piece of music, film, or literature. One that permeates through the length of every love story.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things (Michael Faudet #1))
β
Picking up the pieces of a broken relationship is like gathering up shards of glass with bear hands and eyes closed.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
words are strange creatures
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
Put your hands on my knees, she said, and think of me as a book you've been dying to read
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
I'm not the kind of girl who wants her name tattooed on your arm," she purred. "Think of me as your dirty little secret.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Her kisses were the wings of butterflies, beating softly upon lips of crushed petals.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Magic tumbled from her pretty lips and when she spoke the language of the universeβthe stars sighed in unison.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Her kisses reminded me of lemon slices drizzled with sticky honey. Bitter, sweet and strangely irresistible.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
I cannot begin to fathom the intricate nature of love, the endless "whys" and the cold reality of "because.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
She had a habit of walking around in white cotton panties and writing poetry on the back of crumpled envelopes.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
I became so obsessed with you, that I even convinced myself that you loved me.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))

Perfume:
Her perfume reminded me of freshly picked flowers and sticky candyfloss, mixed with a gentle hint of debauchery.

β
True Love
True love is elusive, she said. Sometimes I think itβs as rare as a red moon on a cloudless night.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
When chasing love
at any costβ
The pathways meet
but seldom cross.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
We spoke of wolves
and many things,
of ticking clocks
and circus swings,
how crying doves
fly up above,
but most of all
we spoke of love.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
It was always about you. Seldom me. And never us.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
Do you know what really turns me on? What I find incredibly sexy? Kindness.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Even the most eloquent lie becomes vulgar when exposed to the truth.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
Keeping her trapped within the insecurities that he created.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
How beautiful - to live a lie.
To imagine - you and me together.
To catch a glimpse of a shooting star.
Piercing the darkness of my loneliness.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
She was a muse
cursed with melancholia,
her tears the ink
on my typewriter ribbon.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
Cry for me,
not when I'm dead,
for that will be too late-
cry for me now
while I'm still here,
to kiss your tears
away.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
Good Night
May you fall asleep in the arms of a dream, so beautiful,
youβll wake up crying.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
Kisses dream of lips like yours.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
So many promises wrapped up in excuses, always tomorrow but never today.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
You asked me to give you a second chance and all you gave me back was a repeated mistake.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
I could watch a million sunrises and still never see one quite as beautiful as your eyes slowly opening in the morning.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Yes, it can be a struggle to pull ourselves out of the oozing mud of negativity and pettiness. But when we do, itβs remarkable how liberating it feels to be back in control of our lives.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
Run towards your dream, and never let anyone fill your pockets with rocks.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Playing with Matches)
β
Gratitude
Take nothing for granted. Even a rock will eventually surrender
to the sea and love can slip away like sand through fingers.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
I can take you to a secret place, somewhere not far from here, where the desert stars sing lullabies to the brokenhearted.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
A lull in the storm. The sparkle of sunshine held by the rain. This is how love feels. Just when you thought everything was lost.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
To fall in love - is what I feared the most.
To have my heart dragged - from pillar to post.
To discover a certainty, was just - an almost.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
The truth is, the harsh reality of love, is that itβs fickle, mostly fleeting, and seldom ticks every single box if we do find it.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
Love is a rebellious spirit that doesnβt seek permission or ask for approval.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
I dream of dreamsβ
Once dreamt,
now lost.
How sunshine steals
from autumn frost.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
Of course I remember. How could I possibly forget a memory tattooed onto my heart?
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
I knew I had to set you free. To put my feelings aside and let love slip through my fingers. It wasn't easy. But if you try to keep hold of a butterfly - you run the risk of crushing it.

Lost Love
I found you,
hidden by crooked fingers
of gnarly wood
and leafy green,
a pale ghost,
drifting like morning mist,
through haunted trees
and forest birdsong.
You come to me
in waning moonlight,
your story told
on icy skin,
the pages pale,
with purple kisses,
walking barefoot
and breathless,
toward my heart.
You found me,
buried deep
beneath this earthly blanket,
of thorny twigs
and weeping mud,
two lovers torn
now bound together,
in joyful death
we make our bed.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Dirty Pretty Things)
β
You lived for books,
lost within a dusty world
of turned pages,
each sentence read
a breath drawn,
every wordβ
the blood
rushing through
your veins,
how I wished
I was a story,
inside a book,
held lovingly
in your hands,
never to be
put down.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
She stole my words
I wrote with my lips,
a broken heart
is seldom missed,
by those who write
another's name,
upon the lips
I love -
in vain.

Stillness
There is a certain stillness, when even the gentle flutter of a butterfly's wing feels like a hurricane.
The moment when crashing waves fall asleep, peaceful, lost to the serenity of salty dreams.
When tall trees stand to attention and every leaf pauses, takes a deep breath and holds it.
It is here, beneath the maddening silence I hear your name.
An echo of you.
β
β
Michael Faudet
β
There's no denying we had chemistry and a strong desire to be together. Yet somehow you were never willing to make a commitment. Close but never close enough.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
You once told me that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for finding love.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
In matters of love it's tempting to be picky. But never forget, inside every cherry, no matter how delicious - you'll always find a stone.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
How precarious the fine line between acceptance and rejection. Yet, here I am again - placing another bet on the table. Going all in. Willing to risk everything for a chance to win this stupid game we call love.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Cult of Two (Volume 5) (Michael Faudet))
β
Just when I thought my life was going in the right directionβdisappointment was waiting around the corner.

Proximity
We joined the dots
from A to B,
the line we drew
from you to me,
traced empty shores
across the sea,
over mountain top,
past forest tree,
along the roads
and walking tracks,
all bridges burned,
no looking back,
for the love
we have,
no gate can stop,
no barking dog
or bolted lock,
for what is real
is meant to be,
when two hearts
beatβ
in proximity.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Bitter Sweet Love)
β
You can't remove my scars or rewrite the past that haunts me. Just hold me tight and tell me everything's going to be okay.
β
β
Michael Faudet (Smoke & Mirrors)
β
You became invisible,
a ghost haunting
the ruins of a heart
left broken,
where love
once burned,
so quickly taken,
like a bucket
of water
thrown on a fire,
all trace
of warmth-
forsaken.
