"And what does you heart say?

I was born with a knife in one hand and a wound in the other.

And then ....

"It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside."

Wanted to buy you Violets this morning, But friends were hungry, so I bought them Bread, And wrote you a Love Poem.

"I fear I will be ripped open and found unsightly"

" I killed a plant once because I gave it too much water. Lord, I worry that love is violence."

"I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone."

"I watch him in the kitchen, and I think of how much it hurts to love somebody. How deep the hurt is, how almost unbearable."

"there's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. nothing in the world like a sore throat for the right reasons."

"and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want, what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"

When I was little I didn't know I'd grow up. Or I knew but didn't feel it.
