I miss you in waves and tonight I’m drowning. You left me fending for my life and it feels like you’re the only one who can bring me back to the shore alive.

You think being dead inside is bad until someone brings you back to life and stabs you in the chest without the intention of killing you.

I loved you at your worst, and you were always at your worst. Nothing could stop me. Not even you.

To me, you were more than just a person. You were a place where I finally felt at home.

I’m sorry I broke you. It’s just that you’re so pretty, and I break pretty things.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words will always kill me.

I don’t see how anyone can find happiness in this world.

My lips have touched more bottles than lovers and I'm half a shot away from psychotic.

I'm trying to give people an idea of what black looks like and what white looks like before I introduce them to gray.

As long as there is satire, the poet is, as it were, particeps criminis.

The civilities of the great are never thrown away.

Don't whine. Find the positive in difficult situations.
