STARTERS FOR DARK & TOXIC SHIPS
Lines taken from various forms of media for that particular brand of dark ships.
â You donât want me to have anything in my life thatâs not you. â
â You think youâd be happy with someone else? No way. Iâm it. â
â Iâve killed for you. Who else can say that? â
â Iâll kill the whole bloody lot of them until you and I are the only people left in this world. â
â What have we done to each other? What will we do? â
â But the horror, the horror was for love. â
â This love burns you, maims you, twists you inside out. â
â It is a monstrous love, and it makes monsters of us all. â
â You lied to me! You poisoned me! You told me you loved me! â
â I love you, and itâs killing me. â
âI hate youâ Â â Â âNo you donât.â â
â Youâre killing me slowly. â
â I love you so, Iâll eat you whole. â
â Sorry about the blood in your mouth, I wish it was mine. â
â Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. â
â Something ugly in you, you also saw in me. â
â You ruin anything you touch, and destroy anyone you love. â
â You are coming down with me, hand in unloveable hand. â
â You say that you love me but you act like you donât. â
â Imagine our children, how fucked would they be? â
â Donât you know Iâm no good for you? â
â When itâs going good, itâs great. But when itâs bad, itâs awful. â
â Your temperâs just as bad as mine is. Youâre the same as me. â
â I know this love will tear me to pieces. â
â I loved you enough. You just never believed it. â
â Why canât you just let me go? â
â We have been each otherâs prisoner for a very long time. â
â You said that you loved me with your knife pressed against my throat. â
â Iâd probably still adore you will your hand around my neck. â
â Our love is a monster, plain and simple. â
â I loved you as Icarus loved the sun: too close, too much. â
â Loving you was the most exquisite form of self-destruction. â
â It terrifies me what I would do for you. â
â Thereâs a difference between really loving someone and loving the idea of them. â
â We werenât ourselves when we fell in love, and when we became ourselves â surprise! â we were poison. â
â We complete each other in the nastiest, ugliest possible way. â
â I would never kill you. Not in a million years. What I can do - what I will do is hurt you, worse than I did before. â
â You make me feel, and I donât like it. I want it to stop. Now. â
â You are the knife I turn inside myself: that is love. â
â I say I want you inside me and you split me open with a knife. â
â If you love me, you donât love me in a way I understand. â
â We love with claws and teeth and the blood is just proof of how much. Itâs feral. â
â There is something wrong with you that is also wrong with me. â
â Love isnât soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close. â
â I need you to be a monster. Which is to say, Iâm trying not to love you. â
â Kiss me. Kill me. Do something. â
