1 " There’s a reason his voice sounds so heart-wrenchingly beautiful. When you slice yourself open and bleed into your music, every song contains a pulse that beats to the rhythm of your heart, and everyone listening can feel it. "

2 " Because for once, I wanted to be the one to pour gasoline on the fire and watch as it engulfed me. I wanted to be consumed by something that would leave no room for distractions. "
3 " But my edges were all spiky and barbed from past lies and deceit, and try as I might, I couldn’t quite fit into the stencil he’d created. My outlines were a little too rough for that smooth silhouette. "
4 " I was angry at him and he was angry at me. Angry that I couldn’t be the girl from his songs who just gives and gives until there’s nothing left to her of any substance. "
5 " Try as I might, I can’t justify getting caught up in controversy, whether it’s true or not. I can’t allow myself to be swallowed up again. There’s a chance I’d never find my way back out. "

7 " In the past year, I’ve felt so much it’s like I’ve come crawling out on the other side of a storm, a refugee amongst devastation. There are things you don’t have to experience twice, and feeling all that is one of them. "
8 " I didn’t know how much those secrets weighed until I set them free. "
9 " We’re as close as we can get and yet, if you fused our skin, bound our cells and bones, I’m still not sure it would feel close enough. "
10 " I will not watch idly as something else I care about goes up in smoke. "
11 " You think that because you’re a pretty little thing, we’ll think twice about breaking your neck? Think again, darlin’. You don’t want to make any more enemies in this town. "
12 " It’s reality. It’s chaos, danger, and destruction. And once again, I’m rushing toward it. "
13 " I know what every mark on his clothes and skin means. It is just a physical depiction of the hell he’s been through. Even now, I can’t fully understand what kinds of marks his soul bears. "
