I burned so long so quiet you must have wondered

Annelyse Gelman

Richard Jackson, from “Basic Algebra,”

My heart's in my mouth

Have you figured it out?

I still love you, even more now

Butterflies by Scouting for Girls

“This Is What Baggage Looks Like” Trista Mateer

As long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending.

Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

James Patterson, The Angel Experiment

And this urge to run away from what I love is a sort of sadism I no longer pretend to understand.

Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters

I think I’d rather keep the bullet this time. It’s mine, you can’t have it, see,

I’m not giving it up. This way you still owe me, and that’s

as good as anything.

You can’t get out of this one, Henry, you can’t get it out of me, and with this bullet

lodged in my chest, covered with your name, I will turn myself into a gun, because

it’s all I have,

because I’m hungry and hollow and just want something to call my own.

Richard Siken, Crush (Wishbone)
