“I wish I hadn't met you in the rain: it comes every winter. I wish you hadn't told me your favorite wine: I've become a drinker. I wish I never showed you my hidden birthmark: It looks back at me at night asking where you are. I wish I hadn't read you my journal, all the pages praising you, It's corrupted now that I can't tell if I write for me or you. I wish I hadn't told you my daily routine: it's not mine anymore. I can't enjoy 11:11, my favorite song, a birthday cake, or a concert tour. I'm not afraid of the future, it's the past that takes a while.”

I get my vitamins in: colored capsules I call candy. Life is just a bunch of dashes— Interrupted sentences with no finish line. But at least if you wet your eyelashes, You can get a cinematic look in life.”

“It seems the recipe for human life is: 3 lbs. of crumpled flesh generating too much electricity to handle, Atop bodies that aren't ever as touched as much as we please, Powered by hearts that end up magnetizing to the wrong people, Accompanied by souls that talk to other souls up until disease.”

It's not every day you get to die every day. For the time being, I'd do anything to find you again, Which is why I work twelve jobs in the city for no pay.”
