A LITTLE TRAGIC

i have felt you like a serpent crawling in my body.

love is inferior to you.

i am an appetite. nothing more.

you are my affliction.

even now we are fated.

you know nothing of him.

your passion is bound to me.

you cannot love.

i cannot be sated without you.

we must remain calm.

you know i love you both.

why do you hate me?

you have never liked me.

search everything.

this is madness!

i must see them!

don't touch me. i am not to be touched.

our love was supposed to be sacred.

kiss me.

i need no salvation.

you will put an end to all of this?

come to me.

hear my call.

you are not for the living.

do you swear it?

what's that, my love?

there is nothing to be afraid of.

take off your shoes.

i wish i could stay, my love.

i really must be off.

come in, come in.

i thank you for considering me.

you are too generous.

it will be a great adventure for you.

why have you killed these beautiful flowers?

let us put them in water.

forgive me.

throw them out.

you cannot leave.

i must tell you my dream.

please, no more of your childhood memories.

never speak these things aloud.

it is a foolish dream.

everything is well.

when i return, i will finally make something of myself.

i love you too much.

it's worth celebrating your adventure!

i envy you.

it's crushing, [name]. crushing.

i cannot resist her.

not another word.

do take care of [name].

there is a monster in the room.

we have each other.

you're hurting me.

i am proud of you.

please keep safe.

have you so little faith in me?

i promise.

remember, it's all for us.

you bring trouble with you.

i only wish to stay one night.

i have an audience at the castle.

leave here.

you are late.

i wish you to do as i request.

it's nothing.

come by the fire.

why ever did you bring that here?

you must put that away.

what might we do for you?

that was yesterday.

do you ever feel at times as if you were not a person?

we all feel out of sorts.

look at the sea!

i am not mad.

forgive me. everything i say sounds so childish.

how careless of me.

you are fortunate in your love.

i fear i am taken ill.

if it continues, let me know.

i have received nothing of any kind.

still no trace of him.

for heaven's sake, you cannot leave.

a moment longer... please.

i cannot resist you, my love.

can you tell me your name?

he is coming.

why haven't you told me?

i must leave!

i sensed something.

you look tired.

would you describe them to me?

tell me what you can. from the beginning.

this is no delusion.

the blood is the life.

i feared i'd never see you again.

what the devil is this?

it is past three o'clock in the morning!

forgive me for the troubles i have caused you.

get off me. give me room. i can't breathe.

you frightened me.

may i stay with you tonight?

thank you for loving me.

our spirits are one, so too shall be our flesh.

(the silence after a scream, the breath before goodbye)

Loss & Leaving

❛ Please don’t make me say goodbye. Not again. ❜

❛ You promised you’d stay. Why wasn’t that enough? ❜

❛ I keep waking up thinking you’re still here. ❜

❛ I tried to forget you. I really did. ❜

❛ If I asked you to stay, would you? ❜

❛ I didn’t mean to fall in love with you. I just wanted to feel something. ❜

❛ You left me to pick up the pieces, and now you want to come back? ❜

❛ I’ve buried a lot of things, but your name still feels fresh on my tongue. ❜

❛ Don’t you dare tell me this is for my own good. ❜

❛ You always leave when I need you most. ❜

Regret & Memory

❛ I should’ve told you how I felt when I had the chance. ❜

❛ Do you ever think about what we could’ve been? ❜

❛ Every song, every scent—it’s still you. Always you. ❜

❛ You were supposed to be my forever. ❜

❛ I saw you today. You looked happy. I almost called out your name. ❜

❛ I keep replaying that last moment over and over, hoping I’ll change it somehow. ❜

❛ I wasn’t trying to hurt you—I was trying to protect you. ❜

❛ I thought I could live without you. I was wrong. ❜

❛ You haunt every place I go. ❜

❛ I still sleep on your side of the bed sometimes. It’s pathetic, I know. ❜

Broken Trust

❛ Don’t touch me. You lost that right the second you lied. ❜

❛ How long were you planning on keeping that from me? ❜

❛ You swore I could trust you. Was that a joke? ❜

❛ I’d rather you hate me than pity me. ❜

❛ You looked me in the eye and still lied. That’s what hurts the most. ❜

❛ I forgive you, but I’ll never forget. ❜

❛ I would’ve given you everything. And you knew that. ❜

❛ You made me feel safe. That’s the cruelest part. ❜

❛ You didn’t even flinch when you broke my heart. ❜

❛ Was any of it real, or was I just convenient? ❜

Love That Hurts

❛ I love you, but it’s killing me. ❜

❛ I’d rather hurt with you than heal without you. ❜

❛ You can’t save me, and I can’t stop wanting you to try. ❜

❛ You’re my favorite mistake. My worst decision. My only one. ❜

❛ It hurts to look at you, knowing what we lost. ❜

❛ We could’ve had everything. Why did we choose this instead? ❜

❛ You’re the reason I stopped believing in happy endings. ❜

❛ I don’t hate you—I wish I did. ❜

❛ Tell me you don’t love me anymore. Just… make it sound convincing. ❜

❛ Loving you feels like bleeding and pretending it’s beautiful. ❜

After the End

❛ It’s quiet now. Too quiet without you. ❜

❛ I don’t know how to stop missing you. ❜

❛ Sometimes I catch myself reaching for your hand. ❜

❛ You moved on. I’m still here, waiting for a ghost. ❜

❛ Maybe we were never meant to last. But god, I wanted to. ❜

❛ I saw you with them. And for a moment, I was happy you were smiling again. ❜

❛ You said I’d thank you one day. I’m still waiting for that day. ❜

❛ Every time I start to heal, you show up again. ❜

❛ Maybe we loved each other wrong. Maybe that’s all it was. ❜

❛ I hope you find the peace I couldn’t give you. ❜

"You...  You  believe  me,  right?"

"Now,  I've  been  called  a  lot  of  things  in  my  life,  but  'fearless'  is  not  one  of  them."

"They  say  she's  a  nightmare,  but  she's  real."

"You  might  want  to  come  up  with  an  excuse,  though.  You  know,  something  that's  gonna  piss  her  off  less  than  the  truth."

"You...  you  fixed  her."

"The  mind…  it  is  a  powerful  thing.  Especially  the  grieving  mind."

"Yeah?  And  how  old  were  you  when  you  came  out?"

"She's  not  mean...  she's  scared."

"It's  just  a  carcass  in  the  woods.  It's  just  a  carcass...  in  the  woods."

"You  know,  you're  supposed  to  protect  me.  But  you  say  the  meanest  things  to  me  when  I  try  to  tell  you."

"It’s  funny,  you  think  you’d  scream  when  you  see  something  like  that,  but  you  don’t.  You  just  stare."

"Hallucinations  are  actually  fairly  common  because  of  the  disrupted  boundary  between  your  dream  state  and  your  wakefulness."

"And  I'm  gonna  be  right  here,  right  there  with  you.  All  the  way,  just  like  you  were  for  me,  okay?"

"She's  going  to  have  a  pretty  messed  up  view  of  death  coming  out  of  this  no  matter  what."

"That’s  okay,  I  get  scared  too  sometimes."

"She  doesn’t  talk,  even  if  I  yell  at  her.  She  just  stares  at  me.  And  her  eyes  must  hurt...  because  she  doesn’t  blink."

"You  don't  have  to  help  me.  I'll  find  her."

"Don't  touch  me!"

"We  didn't  know  you  were  into...  uh,  bridesmaids?"

"He  was  dead.  He  was  dead  and  she  was  back."

"I  want  the  gates  and  doors  locked.  I  want  the  only  keys.  I  want  to  know,  every  day,  that  it’s  empty."

"Do  you  remember  what  we  talked  about  before?  About  our  dreams?"

"Hill  House  [or  location],  not  sane,  stood  by  itself  against  its  hills,  holding  darkness  within."

"I'm  sorry  to  bring  this  up  again,  but...  why  the  hell  would  she  go  to  that  house?"

"She  never  stays  after  dark."

"I  didn't  understand  then,  but  I  guess  I  do  now."

"You're  a  crazy  kid,  you  know  that?"

"I  believed  you.  I  always,  always  believed  you."

"The  house  had  stood  so  for  a  hundred  years  before  my  family  moved  in,  and  it  might  stand  for  a  hundred  more."

"…  And  whatever  walked  there,  walked  alone."

"When  you're  little,  you  learn  how  to  see  things  that  aren't  there.  And  when  you  grow  up,  you  learn  how  to  make  them  real."

"Hold  on  to  me,  very  tight.  Keep  your  eyes  closed.  No  matter  what  you  hear,  don’t  open  them."

"What  matters  is  you  want  to  change."

"She  fucking  knew  better...  and  she  did  it  anyway."

"You  see?  Nothing  scary  at  all."

"This  is  where  he  died."

"Don't  worry,  [name].  I  don't  expect  you  to  believe  me."

"Touch  me."

"And  she  buried  it  so  deep  she  had  to  make  up  a  monster  just  to  compartmentalise  and  cope."

"That's  the  first  step:  imagine  the  worst  thing  possible,  assume  it's  true,  and  go  from  there."

"You  had  another  nightmare?  You  can  sleep  with  me  for  tonight."

"There's...  something  down  here."

"They  don't  believe  me  about  anything."

"Should  we  talk  about  your  day,  or  would  you  rather  come  to  bed?"

"You  get  in,  lock  the  doors,  don't  unlock  until  you  see  me  come  outside."

"No,  no,  no,  no,  no,  no!"

“there’s something you’re not telling me.”

“i can’t— i can’t tell you. i can’t. don’t make me say it.”

“you know… you know it’s, like… it’s not on you. you know that, right?”

“are you.. sure this okay?”

“please.. don’t lie to me.”

“you owe me the truth, at least.”

“why the fuck would i ever trust you again?”

“did something happen to you? something you haven’t told me?”

“you don’t have to say it. i already know.”

“i love you.. i do.. that’s why I have to leave.”

“if you won’t change… then i can’t stay. i’m sorry.”

“i won’t just sit here and watch you drink yourself to death.”

“what the hell’s going on with you? seriously. what’s going on?”

“i think you expect too much from me.”

“if i stay… can you promise this will stop?”

“this place isn’t safe for either of us, we need to leave.”

“do you think i deserved it?”

“i don’t want to hurt you. stop asking me that.”

“you didn’t have this scar the last time i saw you… what happened?”

“is this new? wait, are you hurt?”

“are you seriously getting into fights? really?”

“don’t start a fight you won’t win.”

“i’m not gonna fight with you.”

“i won’t just stand around and let you hurt yourself.”

“do you want me to leave? it feels like you don’t want me here.”

“how am i supposed to help you when you’re like this?”

“are you drunk? i thought you stopped drinking?”

why are you here ?

drive .  drive fast .

i think we should make an informed decision .

are you coming or not ?

you’ve been avoiding me .

[ name ] ,  what were you thinking ?

this should be your priority .

let me hold you for a minute .

get out of my way .  i won’t tell you again .

that wasn’t supposed to happen .

can you keep a secret ?

i don’t know what i did to deserve you .

you seriously think i could’ve done something like that ?

you’re safe with me .

sorry isn’t good enough .

where is all this coming from ?

who told you about that ?

sorry i’m late ,  i got caught up .

you’re being paranoid .

why are you looking at me like that ?

you’re the single most important thing to me .

all i’m asking is that you hear me out .

whatever they told you ,  it’s a lie .

we shouldn’t stick around here .

hold my hand ,  i don’t want to lose track of you .

[ name ]  …  truth or dare ?

i love you .  nothing’s gonna change that .

can you tell me what happened ?

you can’t come around here anymore .

back off ,  okay ?

what ,  you don’t have time for me anymore ?

you’re asking for too much .

i’m trying to start a new life .

what do you mean ,  you aren’t coming back ?

sometimes i think you must hate me .

why can’t we just talk about this ?

i know i fucked up ,  you can stop rubbing it in .

you’ve got quite a reputation .

i’m not usually like this ,  i’m sorry .

please ,  just let me explain myself .

i love watching you work .

we’re on the same team .

did you ever tell anyone ?

you’ve got a lot of explaining to do .

really funny ,  you’re very mature .

you call THAT a PLAN ?

can we get out of here ?

i thought things would be different .

this is not up for debate !

do whatever you have to do .

karma’s going to get you for that .

it could’ve been a lot worse .

i asked you to leave me out of this .

maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith .

i never want to see you again .

can you see how many fingers i’m holding up ?

i’m gonna be there when you get what’s coming to you .

you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me .

i’ve been waiting all night for this .

i told you not to contact me .

sometimes i really think you have a death wish .

what do you need ?  —  what can i do ?

i would do literally anything to keep you safe .

that was supposed to be a secret .

you haven’t called me that in years .

stop telling me to calm down !

we make a pretty good team .

i have so much i want to say to you .

i’m not going to let anyone hurt you .

can we please not do this right now ? 

wait ,  wait  …  just breathe for a second .

how are you holding up ?

why don’t you stay the night ?  i’ll take the couch .

i don’t need your protection !

you’re not making this easier on yourself .

are you going to let me in ?

i’m supposed to be protecting you .

i will kill you if i have to .

do whatever you have to do .

this is going to hurt ,  i’m sorry .

what happened to you ,  where have you been ?!

there was nothing you could’ve done .

you’re all i need right now .

i don’t believe in love at first sight .

have you been following me ?

i need you to believe me .

what do you remember ?

i’m not a good person .

what the hell’s going on with you ?

you’re being followed .

just when i thought my day couldn’t be any worse .

i’ve been having weird dreams .

so you’ve been lying to me this whole time ?

are you trying to get us killed ?

this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me .

i never asked for your help .

you’re being followed ,  pretend you know me .

why has it started to feel different with you ?

don’t worry ,  i have a plan .

i heard everything .

do you need to sit down ?

i have the right to know what’s going on .

i’ve just gotta catch my breath .

stay out of my business .

what did you think was going to happen ?!

don’t cause a scene .

tell me something about you that i don’t know .

can i buy you a drink ?

what if  …  we played spin the bottle ?

this was never a problem until  [ name ]  came around .

you can’t ask me to make that choice .

are you seeing anyone right now ?

i need you to listen to me ,  we don’t have long .

you’re lying ,  that doesn’t make any sense .

you look  …  stunning .

what are you trying to prove ?

who died and made you the boss of me ?

you can’t just show up here like this .

let me make it up to you .

there’s no way i’m leaving you like this .

can we stay like this ?  just for a little longer .

i don’t need you to fight for me .

so  …  you lied to me ?

you’re the only one that can help me .

i can’t help you if you won’t let me .

i never introduced myself ,  i’m [ name ] .

i expected more from you .

you have no idea who i am ,  do you ?

are you real ?  is this real ?

can i stay with you ?  just for the night .

you’re going to get yourself killed .

why did you help me ?

tell me what i can do to help .

pick a card ,  any card .

i never wanted any of this .

i love you .   you don’t have to say it back .

do you wanna get out of here ?

what the hell are you talking about ?

i should have trusted you .

get your head out of the clouds .

how is any of this MY fault ?!

what aren’t you telling me ?

i can’t help you if you won’t let me .

it’s never just one with you ,  is it ?

you’re not supposed to know about that .

shut your mouth .

i haven’t kissed you yet ,  today .

where is this coming from ?

come over here and make me ,  then .

keep lying to yourself ,  see where it gets you .

i’m not a bad person .

is that what you wanted to hear ?

we can’t be seen together .

i can’t give you what you want .

i need you to leave .

are you drunk ?

i’m here ,  i’m here .  i’m not going anywhere .

you might want to take a seat for this .

have you been listening to anything i’ve said ?

i haven’t heard from you in weeks .

you’re jealous ,  aren’t you ?

who do you think you’re talking to ?

what are you reading ?

you could’ve killed me !

come on ,  we don’t have time for this .

i just need ten minutes of silence .

really ?  that’s all you have to say ?

we could leave ,  you know .  go far away .

you don’t look too good .

i never want to see you again .

why can’t you just leave me alone ?

i thought you died .

you’ll do anything for attention .

give me another chance .

how’s the weather up there ?

all you do is hurt people !

i’m sorry ,  none of this makes sense .

you need to get out of here before anyone sees you .

i told you i didn’t want you around here .

is that supposed to be a threat ?

you’ve changed .

don’t look at me like that .

it’s a beautiful day ,  don’t you think ?

i did what i had to do .

you never know when to stop .

i’ve got to get home ,  it’s getting late .

i have nothing to prove to you .

stop LYING to me  …  all you do is lie .

you don’t have to be nice to everybody .

don’t tell me what to do .

pull your head out of the past .

nobody can help me .  i can’t even help me .

we are not talking about that right now .

are you new around here ?

you have no idea what you’re starting .

i’m gonna get us out of here .

whatever you came here to say ,  i don’t want to hear it .

everyone’s staring at us .

is there anything i can do to help ?

i won’t cause you any more trouble .

– just follow my instructions for once !

do you want to come in ?

i just didn’t know what to do .

you need rest ,  lie down .

i’m not who you think i am .

i don’t know what you want me to say .

you’re not like anyone else i’ve ever met .

i feel like i’m going insane .

stop asking ,  you’re not going to like my answer .

i didn’t want you to see me any differently .

i wish i knew what to say to you .

don’t give me that look ,  you know what i mean .

you should be afraid .

do you still love me ?

i never thought i’d get this far .

the world doesn’t revolve around you .

i need you to give me some space .

i know what you’re doing ,  don’t play games .

you left me to die .

i’m beyond repentance .

when are you going to get it through your head ?

i missed you more than i thought i would .

i’m in love with you .

what do you need from me ?

i’ll kill them ,   just say the word .

[ name ] ,   what are you doing here ?

how can i help ?

you’re pathetic .

i need you to come pick me up .

where have you been ?  it’s eleven o’clock .

i couldn’t live with myself if i let you get hurt .

i can’t just pretend it didn’t happen .

you’re a real piece of work .

do you remember how we first met ?

when did all of this fall apart ?

that’s not what i came here for .

i would do anything for you .

i don’t need you to hold my hand through this .

are you sure this is the right thing to do ?

can’t we try to pretend things are okay ?

what is THAT supposed to mean ?

you’re always late ,  what am i supposed to think ?

there’s nothing you can do to fix this .

you’re far too kind to me .

can we go now ?  like ,  right now ?

i have to do this alone .

where’s your common sense ?

we aren’t supposed to be in here .

can you feel my heartbeat ?

i think i’ve seen you around before .

why are you acting weird ?

i have a really bad feeling .

i hate seeing you like this .

how am i supposed to react to that ?

𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 :

send one to have our muses meet for the first time.

“Sorry, were you just talking to me?”

“I think you dropped this.”

“You look lost. Need some help?”

“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”

“You’re sitting in my spot.”

“Whoa! Careful!”

“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”

“Is that seat taken?”

“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”

“You’re blocking the doorway.”

“Were you just staring at me?”

“Excuse me, do you know the time?”

“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”

“I’ve been sent to find you.”

“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”

“Do you work here?”

“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”

“You’ve got something on your face.”

“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

“Do you know the way to ___?”

“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”

“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”

“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”

“You look like you could use a friend.”

“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”

“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”

“I think we’re stuck in here together.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear, but…”

“Are you the new neighbor?”

“First time in town?”

“I’m not sure if this belongs to you, but…”

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

“Do you mind if I join you?”

“I think you’re in the wrong place.”

“You seem… out of place.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you following me?”

“That was a close call.”

“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”

“Mind if I walk with you?”

“You look like you’re in trouble.”

“Was that your doing back there?”

“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”

“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”

“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”

“Do I want to know what just happened?”

“You might want to keep your voice down.”

“Is it always this strange around here?”

“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”
