What You Did in the Dark
"I know it's weak of me to give up.
I don't want to. But it's like drowning.
Nobody wishes to die, alone in a cold dark ocean.
But there's only so long they can keep their head
above the waves until they realize that no one is
coming to save them, and they're never going to
find their way back to shore. Sooner or later, the
body gives up. It can't endure anymore. Maybe it
could fight to suffer one or two moons, but for
what point? The ending is the same. It's not that
death suddenly becomes an attractive thought.
It's just the notion of living is so much uglier.
I used to feel like I was drowning...
so I stopped trying to swim."

- Have does that make you feel?
- Dying is a gift, so close your eyes and rest in peace.
- I want to know you sincerely.
- These scars won't tear us apart.
- You're adorable as hell, but I'm glancing at your wrist.
- I kissed the scars on her skin, I still think you're beautiful.
- I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrist.
- I long for that feeling to not feel at all.
- Don't bother sleeping without one eye open wide.
- You and me are the difference between real love and the love on TV.
- All I wanna get is a little bit closer.
- Let's be alone together.
- Heaven is a place on Earth with you, tell me all the things you wanna do.
