I have no God, but YOU.

— Abby

I wake to a mausoleum; you are here, Ticking your fingers on the marble table, looking for cigarettes, Spiteful as a woman, but not so nervous, And dying to say something unanswerable. — Sylvia Plath, The Rival

If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression Of something beautiful, but annihilating. — Sylvia Plath, The Rival

O my God, what am I That these late mouths should cry open In a forest of froast, in a dawn of cornflowers. — Sylvia Plath, Poppies in October

The water I taste is warm and salt, like the sea,

And comes from a country far away as health.

— Sylvia Plath, Tulips

The vivid tulips eat my oxygen.

— Sylvia Plath, Tulips

Nobody watched me before, now I am watched.

— Sylvia Plath, Tulips

I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted

To lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.

— Sylvia Plath, Tulips

I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions.

— Sylvia Plath, Tulips

I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly

— Sylvia Plath, Tulips

The comets

Have such a space to cross,

Such coldness, forgetfulness.

— Sylvia Plath, The Night Dances

I am incapable of more knowledge.

What is this, this face

So murderous in its strangle of branches?—

— Sylvia Plath, Elm

I am terrified by this dark thing

That sleeps in me;

— Sylvia Plath, Elm

I am inhabited by a cry.

Nightly it flaps out

Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.

— Sylvia Plath, Elm

Love is a shadow.

How you lie and cry after it.

— Sylvia Plath, Elm

Is it the see you hear in me,

Its dissatisfactions?

Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness?

— Sylvia Plath, Elm

I know the bottom, she says. I know it with my great tap root:

It is what you fear.

I do not fear it : I have been there.

— Sylvia Plath, Elm
