315 Quotes by Melissa Broder

Then my bones will turn to silence I can't wait

The sky told me nothing about myselfThe stars told me nothing about myselfJupiter gave me nothingExcept that I am dustWhich is a lot to go onBut not enough to stop the death

But love isn't even the waterReal love is the lightDon't you know that yet?The water is something elseAs anything that grows dark and recedesIs something else not loveFine then I don't want loveFine then I don't want loveI want the water

And I've been told I have bats in my throatGet ready for the night shriek when I puke them up

Another kind of death more spiral than the dustAn ego death where I should start my lifeBut I don't want any deathsAnd I don't want any livesI want to hunt phantasms in the smeared skiesGive Orion my thighsGive my blood to the lightNever having beenAnd so forever born in cosmic leaves

But she felt the light go with himAnd she prayed she would go to

I can only say there are things that standIn the way of other thingsAnd the ocean murders all of them

Safe BladeIn my sickness I was whole titNow I must suck etherWhich is the stars and where I am meantI never knew I'd miss the fleshAnd I do miss the flesh or the fake heatThat glinted off the sword I grippedWhich kept me safe from me and my disease of moreThough sword and heat were also the diseaseThe sword I slung at man's plasmic heavenApplauded by the hands of dead but not their spiritsSpirits are you with me now although I cannot seeSickly still in my lust for ashes

I see other people's trashdreamsMy fantasies are so pure
