- The blackberry stains, the unswallowed medicine, the face of each person I love and hope to never see again. Out poured each grief I have named and each grief there is no language for.
- I am afraid I will love you forever and we will never be in the same room again.
- I said I am afraid I will spend entire years trying not to need you.
- The thing I want most in this life is to be a good mother. And I wasn’t ready. So I said goodbye. I thought that was the kind of thing a good mother would do.
- I’m still certain I cannot love you and forgive us your sins at the same time.
- I need you to know I loved him enough to lie to everyone who knew me about how bad it got. I need you to know there is still a bullet lodged between my ribs in the shape of his holy mouth.
- I no longer believe anger will save me. For that, I have to put down the knife. I have to thank my breath. I have to let you go.
- I’m saying I loved a man for years thinking he was the bandage only to realize he was the wound.
- I know exactly how many people believe I am impossible to love. There are days I believe it too. / and every time they say they love me My first thought is why Can’t you see all the nicer people with fewer problems?
