“But I love you and I want you and I need you. Can’t you see that? This world has nothing to offer me if it doesn’t include you.”

“I ruin everything. I think that a bullet must have passed through my heart when I was very young, causing me to bleed out slowly, over things and people and every white surface that I’d ever come across.”

“I don’t ever want to hurt anyone, but I really wish there was something like a reset button on my life.”

“That last time you kissed me my heart slid past your teeth down into the center of your chest… trapping us both in a stainless cage.”

“He could pour himself into my little paper cup heart and my emptiness would finally have a meaning.”

“I wish on one of the stars for divine orchestration and save the rest of them for all of the other girls in the world who will feel like I do tonight.”

“Standing naked on the beach with all of my secrets between my legs, I look out into the water and up deep into the stars. I beg the sparkling lanterns of light to cure me of myself…”
