❝ And so, being young and dipped in folly, I fell in love with melancholy. ❞

❝ I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. ❞

❝ The way you slam your body into mine reminds me I’m alive, but monsters are always hungry, darling. ❞

❝ And all I loved, I loved alone. ❞

❝ I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity. ❞

❝ And all I loved, I loved alone. ❞

❝ I wanted to ask
why, why the sun follows her
wherever she goes? ❞
