‘ at night i dream of you. ’
‘ don’t give up yet. you still have time to fix things. ’
‘ falling in love with someone else is not a personal attack. ’
‘ i am still so weak when it comes to you. ’
‘ i can’t believe i let myself let you down. ’
‘ i don’t care where we go when we die, as long as i’m with you. ’
‘ i dream of saying to you all the words i held inside until it was too late. ’
‘ i feel so warm & safe when you talk to me. maybe i could love you if you’d let me. ’
‘ i finally let the right people in & i have never felt so loved. ’
‘ i like the way your nails paint red stripes along my spine days after you’re gone. ’
‘ i lived in your permafrost for twenty years & then you looked at me & i felt the warmth of spring. ’
‘ i once wished you’d leave me alone, but i take it back. ’
‘ i want to be able to love someone else, but you stretch your arms & spread your legs inside my heart so that there is no room for anyone or anything else. ’
‘ i want to believe that we got it right this time. ’
‘ i wonder how much longer i can cling to your light before it expires completely. ’
‘ i would travel across the world to be by your side, because as long as you are with me, anywhere is a perfect place to me. ’
‘ it took me awhile to realize it myself, but you are not what other people say you are. ’
‘ it’s not that i really need you, but life would be pretty boring without you around. there’s no one i would rather be with. ’
‘ i’d like to stay like this for awhile. ’
‘ life & death don’t have to be so boring, let’s make both an adventure. ’
‘ life imitates art, they say. i didn’t believe it until i started to notice the way your eyelashes look so much like tiny ink stroke. ’
‘ live your life so that when you die, souls will come for miles just to hear your historic tales. ’
‘ make your exes jealous & your past self proud. ’
‘ maybe you’re what i needed to find in order to move on. ’
‘ never get caught falling harder. they’ll never let you back up. ’
‘ please don’t go. ’
‘ some days it’s easier to just stop fighting it & succumb. ’
‘ sometimes, you’ll find it hard to keep going, but you always will. ’
‘ the desire i feel for you is that same itching, insidious hunger that an addict has for their addiction. ’
‘ the worst thing about you is that you weren’t all bad. ’
‘ there is absolutely nothing & no one who can stop me. ’
‘ there is no route of losing you that is without pain. ’
‘ there’s still room for adventure & there is no one i’d rather have by my side. ’
‘ things didn’t turn out the way i planned, but i’m alright with that. ’
‘ we could be really incredible together, you know? ’
‘ you are beautiful & vibrant & confident. you are light & laughter incarnate & every fiber of your being screams freedom & joy. when i am with you, i am truly happy. ’
‘ you are starlight incarnate, from the grand way you sway your hips to the wide mysterious way you think. blessed are any to be loved by you. ’
‘ you are too afraid of the future to let go of a past that was never kind to you. ’
‘ you call me yours & i have no idea what that even means to you. ’
‘ you remind me of bubblegum & sweets; soft & pink & warm. you are strong in the gentlest way. you are so stubbornly kind. i wish i could be like that. ’
‘ you still visit me while i sleep sometimes. your fingers trace my spine & i listen to you breathe. please stop haunting me. ’
‘ ‘morbid curiosity’ is a wonderful way to describe how i feel about you. ’
‘ a thousand empty bottles & fist fights will never return to us what we lost that day. ’
‘ everyone else has moved on, but i am still here. ’
‘ everything about you screams danger. ’
‘ everything is worthless to you & you, in turn, became worthless. ’
‘ for once in my life i want to be surrounded by people that i don’t feel like i need to impress. ’
‘ freedom is really hard to get used to. ’
‘ how could you do this to me? how fucking could you? ’
‘ i am becoming everything we always dreamed of & i am leaving you behind. ’
‘ i buried you so well that you might as well have died. ’
‘ i can rest easy knowing that the person i love is dead & not the monster you became. ’
‘ i can’t look at you. not now, not ever. ’
‘ i don’t ask how you’ve been. what’s the point? you’d lie anyways. ’
‘ i dream of hearing the words i so desperately needed to lay your memory to rest. ’
‘ i haunted this house first. there is no room for you here. ’
‘ i have a right to be upset. i loved them too, you know. ’
‘ i just want it to end. i want it to all go away. i want to go away. ’
‘ i may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but a snake hiding in the skin of a mouse is far more dangerous. ’
‘ i saw your face today & didn’t feel anything. i am free. ’
‘ i tried to save you, but you didn’t want to be saved. you just wanted someone to suffer with you. ’
‘ it’s almost as if you were never here. ’
‘ it’s unhealthy to do these things, you tell me. you say it’s time to stop smoking, time to stop gambling, & dammit, i f you don’t stop drinking it’ll kill you. i sure hope you’re right, darling. ’
‘ i’m always pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to kill you in my mind ’
‘ i’m not really scared to die. i’m more afraid that no one will miss me when i’m gone. ’
‘ i’m not the person you left behind anymore. there’s no one here to miss. ’
‘ i’ve been dead far longer than i’ve been alive. ’
‘ i’ve eaten nothing but flower petals & ivy for weeks because i want to be beautiful inside like you. ’
‘ i’ve never been completely satisfied. i most likely will still be unsatisfied long after my death. ’
‘ no motive other than pleasure, my dear. ’
‘ one day i’ll go or you will. either way, it will be as if i’m losing a piece of myself. ’
‘ our dreams & promises decay along with you. ’
‘ the leaves change, but nothing else does. ’
‘ the only difference between avoiding & leaving is that now i’m not waiting up for you. ’
‘ there is no such thing as a person who is required to love you. ’
‘ there’s only so much that can be done to repair old damage. ’
‘ things aren’t going as i hoped. maybe if i die, i can start over again? better luck next time. ’
‘ this is not something to be proud of. this is a tragedy. ’
‘ trying to get rid of me? oh honey, you’ll have to try much harder than that. ’
‘ trying to get under my skin? you’re nothing more than a pesky itch. ’
‘ unlike you, i can’t hide my identity when it becomes an inconvenience or a danger. ’
‘ weeping is for gods & martyrs, we cannot afford such luxuries. ’
‘ would you even miss me? ’
‘ you are not important enough to earn an eternal place in my heart. ’
‘ you complain nonstop about being unloved & alone, i can’t imagine what you’d be like if that were actually true. ’
‘ you don’t know what it’s like. ’
‘ you made this so fucking easy for me. ’
‘ you should see me as a threat. i will tear down everything you know until there is nothing left of you. i am a walking threat. ’
‘ you think i’m already gone, but i’m still fighting. ’
‘ you think i’m dead, but i’m just dying. ’
‘ you were never an addiction, you were a fucking disease. ’
‘ you wouldn’t dare cross me. i am god & you are the soil beneath my feet. ’
‘ your existence takes up so much more space in mine that we might as well be one entity. ’
‘ your fingers are so cold & bruised, but you’re still slamming your fists again the barricade as if it makes a difference. ’
‘ your hair is tied in a noose & your fingernails are razor blades, your lips are poison & i will gratefully kiss them. ’
‘ your hatred has a body count & we will not forget. ’
‘ your loss, not mine. ’
‘ you’re a sick fuck. you know that? ’
‘ you’re not gentle with me & i would never ask you to be. ’
‘ you’ve trapped yourself so thoroughly in your own mind that it’s not even a rut anymore, it’s a pit. ’
