“I need you like a needle needs a vein. ”

“Then the long nights, that were also days, in the hospital. And the long blanks, that were also nights. Needles, and angled glass rods to suck water through. Needles, and curious enamel wedges slid under your middle. Needles, and - needles and needles and needles. Like swarms of persistent mosquitoes with unbreakable drills. The way a pincushion feels, if it could feel. Or the target of a porcupine.

Even food was a needle - a jab into a vein...("For The Rest Of Her Life")”

“I'm beginning to think I need you like I need oxygen”

“I need you like a heart needs a beat(But that's nothing new)”
