"Time comes in waves here, a sickness, one day after the other rolling on; I move up, it's called awake, then down into the uneasy nights, but never forward."

top five lines from crush by richard siken that i think about constantly: a list by me

'there's a part in the movie where you can see right through the acting, where you can tell that i'm about to burst into tears, right before i burst into tears'

'you raised your hand to the light as if to hide it, the pink fingers gone gold with light streamed straight to the bone, as if you were the small room closed in glass with every speck of dust illuminated.'

'a man takes his sadness to the river and throws it in the river but then he's still left with the river. a man takes his sadness and throws it away but then he's still left with his hands.'

'here are the illuminated cities at the centre of me, and here is the centre of me, which is a lake, which is a well that we can drink from, but i just can't go through with it. i just don't want to die anymore.'

'i'll give you a heart to make a place for it to happen, evidence of a love that transcends hunger. is that too much to expect? that i would name the stars for you? that i would take you there?'
