I am afraid that the standoffish type is the only kind I love.
A love-starved woman is likely neurotic.
Love without friendship is cold and most destructive.
You aren't here. You're a dream evaporated. A hurt winding in the ruins of me.
Neglect is heartbreaking. I lose control in pain - at rock bottom. I need love to be real.
She is safer if she does not feel too much; she is gently dying in the memory of love.
I wish you would say you love me.
She was a lonely bird full of unchanging melancholy. She felt a terrible appeal to detach from everything.
She was the sort to fall for people who ran away. Love is a variable so wild it can feel like breathing or dying.
To be so wrapped up in self, is dangerous: self pity and sense of woe betray you.
