“It seemed like the best weapons in my life had always been the most innocuous: empty plastic bins, a blank CD, an unmarked syringe, my smile in a dark room.”
“Abby being in my room made it feel like home, and the emptiness no longer seemed right.”
“Her white skin and those dark brown eyes and the way she always smiled at the world - always, it seemed - as if her face had been designed that way. The smile never went away.”
“This life had always been my routine but now it felt like a cage.”
“People can come into our lives, then leave without a moment's notice. Each time someone new enters my life, I open a room for them in my heart. When they leave, the room remains. My heart is full of mostly empty rooms.”
“If I look at my old lyrics, they seem to be full of rage, but empty. There was an emptiness in my life.”
