And you tried to change, didn't you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake... You can't make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

My heart is a flower blossoming out of my mouth.

I tend to the wound so often, it never heals.

Two people who were once very close can without blame or grand betrayal become strangers. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.

Make love like you have no secrets like you've never been left never been hurt like the world don't owe you a single wretched thing.

Apathy is the same as war, it all kills you, she says. Slow like cancer in the breast or fast like a machete in the neck.

I tore up and ate my own passport in an airport hotel once. I'm bloated with language I can’t afford to forget.
