But what shall I do when instead of a heart this fear is beating in my body?

your hunger hurts you awake. The sin is not / the wanting, it's the wanting more.

I adore you. I crave you unlike any other.

enough of can you see me, can you hear me, enough I am human, enough I am alone and I am desperate, enough of the animal saving me, enough of the high water, enough sorrow, enough of the air and its ease, / I am asking you to touch me.

And if you’re gone, I’m not. The love goes on. It has its own life, eating through the heart,

Despite everything, it's still you.

I am in love with reciprocity. I eat you eat. I starve you starve. I hunt we live.

I’m scared this is all I will ever be.

Horrifying, the very thought of you, / whoever you are, / future knife to my scar, / stay where you are.

Before I die, I want to be somebody's favourite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

Venus, planet of love, was destroyed by global warming / Did its people want too much, too? / Did its people want too much?

I tell myself I'm not like that any more / At least I thought I was less savage / I try, I try, I try, I try, I try to do less damage

To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there’s nothing there.

Do you have a question that can't be answered? Do the stars frighten you by their heaviness and their endless number? Does it bother you, that mercy is so difficult to understand?

I, myself, feel very safe.

Yes yes yes I do like you. I am afraid to write the stronger word.

If you could be held, / I would hold you.

Where there's life there's hope.

I say: How is this my concern? I'm a spectator He says: No spectators at chasm's door ... and no one is neutral here. And you must choose your part in the end

He knew me by heart. It infuriated me that he knew me by heart.
