"If you were a mermaid, I was the sea."

Francesca Lia Block's "Wasteland" is beautiful and just broke my heart, broke my heart into little bitty pieces.

"You were just a boy on a bed in a room, like a kaleidoscope is a tube full of bits of broken glass. But the way I saw you was pieces refracting the light, shifting into an infinite universe of flowers and rainbows and insects and planets, magical dividing cells, pictures no one else knew."

at the bottom of everything

Bright Eyes keeps breaking my heart.
In a good way.
