“If love is anything tangible, it is his mouth, his mouth, his holy goddamned mouth. He says my name and the whole sky is talking.”
“I will never love anything that can swallow me. I will never love anything that I can fit inside of.”
“I want to die without dying. I want the knowledge that comes with dying– the fruit of the labor.”
“Crying love after one night but also not crying love. Keeping it quiet because
it’s not even a word in your mouth yet.”
“You said you loved me but it felt like being robbed. Your smile was twisted like the metal rose on the lock you couldn’t pick. You didn’t get in but you
got close.”
“Even if I don’t love you like I did, you won’t be a stranger. You could never be a stranger. Some people look just as familiar walking away as they do walking back,”
“To think that love and love alone
could mend us. Feed us. To think that love alone could carry a broken body
out of a burning room. If we are hungry then we are hungry for food, hungry for
the water, for the sun. If we are hungry at all, it is not for a body,it is not for
each other.”
“You saw a beautiful boy and you thought you could have him, so you waited like something empty waits to be filled.”
