help , here — lend a hand .
just a moment , if i may —
i stand up for sense & justice .
do make certain you meet with success .
such a day for such a sad farewell .
this is such a silly game .
be a sport & stop complaining !
play along , you must .
forgive me , i didn’t know .
we haven’t heard your name yet , friend .
you need some manners .
if we could speak alone ?
how much have your superiors bothered to tell you ?
you are horribly old - fashioned , aren’t you ?
feel free to form your own opinion , though it appears you already have .
it seems i’ve made matters worse .
i’ll leave you to your business .
excuse me … i should apologize .
is it me , or are you this nervous around all women ?
do be a dear & tell me all about it .
sounds like an extraordinary place to live a life .
there is no such thing as magic .
to call a person superstitious is to imply they fear magic .
poets have silly notions .
you do believe me now , don’t you ?
you need less big words , & more common sense .
what the hell are you doing ?
i am not here for revenge . i am here to bring justice .
i manage fine alone .
i deserve to help you . don’t you see how much this means ?
what are you spying on ?
i beg you , no more , please .
i will not allow it . i will not !
why was i not told of this ?
you should step outside .
sorry for disturbing you . i thought a forgotten candle was burning .
having trouble sleeping ?
i have something to show you , if you have a moment .
these scars . how did you get them ?
oh , you are hopeless .
i have a gift for you . true magic which even you will not be able to deny .
are you saying i should be frightened ?
what will it take for you to realize this is no laughing matter ?
don’t be afraid … don’t be afraid .
you promised justice . people have put their trust in you .
why would you do such a thing ?
leave me . you are not welcome here .
allow me some time .
the things i said to you before … i was wrong to say them .
every word you spoke had truth in it .
if you want me to go , i will . do you want me to leave ?
i no longer know what i think or what i feel .
why are you so afraid ? is there truly such harm in uncertainty ?
i should be going … good day to you .
i’m one of the few people who likes you .
i apologize if i worried you .
my god … what has happened ?
yes , i did notice that , thank you .
i am a bad habit . there’s nothing for it .
don’t let him get you .
lay still , [ name ] . do not move .
i’m drawing bad blood from the wound .
you were half - drowned when they found you .
i serve a fine purpose alive .
midnight seems an appropriate time .
hide in my room & bolt the door til i return .
i was getting worried .
do you have anything to clean it with ?
i know you saw me .
i know you followed me last night .
i appreciate your concern .
you are so upset now … & yet , you seemed in such good spirits last night .
why have i not seen your face for so long ?
i have been reading your journal .
what would you have me believe ?
if you think i am behind this , say it .
call me a liar , then , & a murderer .
what is stopping you ? what has happened to your ability to transcend sentimentality ?
don’t dare stand looking as if you still care for me , after all that you have said .
if i were to confess , would that ease your suffering ? would that make it easier for you to hate me ?
the next person to lay hands on me will have a bullet .
you do not know all that has happened .
why … why are you like this ?
to hell with this place & all the people here .
won’t you change your mind ? what can i say to convince you ?
take me with you . there’s nothing left for me here .
forgive me . i failed you .
you … you’re alive .
no one will believe your lies .
i am not going to kill you . not me …
you cannot kill what is already dead .
› SOFT ROMANCE → receiver to sender.
brushing snow off their shoulders
offering to carry their bag
humming a lullaby beside them
making sure their drink is just right
touching hands under the table
sharing a quiet moment in an elevator
pulling the blanket up over them
fixing a crooked button on their shirt
gently resting a hand on their knee
bringing them flowers “just because”
watching them in the soft morning light
adjusting their glasses for them
saving them the last bite
quietly placing their favorite book in their hands
squeezing their arm in silent support
brushing dust off their shoulder
letting their head rest on your chest
warming up a heating pad for them
kissing the top of their head in passing
whispering their name like a secret
setting their phone to charge
pouring their tea before your own
tucking a note into their pocket
drawing a small heart on their wrist
holding the back of their neck gently
pulling them away from the cold wind
leaning into each other on a train
pressing their hand over your heartbeat
offering your hoodie on a cold night
packing a snack for them
gently rubbing their shoulder while they talk
picking them wildflowers
saving a seat beside you for them
mouthing “you okay?” across the room
standing behind them while they cook
helping with their coat sleeves
asking if they’ve eaten today
tracing their laugh lines when they smile
turning their playlist into a shared one
leaving a mug of cocoa on their desk
tying your scarf around their neck
brushing your thumb across their wrist
sitting beside them during a tough day
helping them put on a bracelet
resting your head on their lap
carrying them when they fall asleep somewhere strange
painting their nails for them
pressing a kiss to their wrist
gently holding their chin to meet your gaze
leaving your scent on their pillow
guiding their hand while drawing
humming a song they like
quietly whispering “i missed you”
brushing a tear from their lash
hiding a gift for them to find later
gently pulling them into your arms during a bad dream
braiding their hair without asking
waiting up for them to get home
offering your lap as a pillow
warming their hands with yours in your pockets
shielding their eyes from the sun
holding their face during a long hug
wrapping your arms around their waist while cooking
softly squeezing their pinky when anxious
sharing a hoodie without asking
resting your head on their shoulder during a movie
lightly stroking their hair while they read
offering to write something for them
sneaking a Polaroid of them smiling
casually interlocking fingers while walking
wrapping an arm around them in their sleep
offering a tissue before they ask
kissing their knuckles one by one
gently drying their hair with a towel
placing their hand over your heart
taking their photo when they’re distracted
watching them laugh and smiling to yourself
opening the car door for them
waiting to make sure they’re inside safely
gently tugging on their sleeve to get their attention
letting them nap on your chest
setting an extra place at the table
lending them your favorite book
adjusting their jewelry
putting a hand on their back when guiding them
whispering “you’re okay, i’ve got you”
resting your foreheads together mid-hug
brushing rainwater from their hair
slipping your hand into theirs in silence
bringing a warm drink to their bedside
folding their laundry with a soft smile
reaching out instinctively to steady them
tracing the veins on their wrist with your finger
taking off their shoes after a long day
straightening their tie gently
offering to help them undress when tired
letting your head fall on theirs in a quiet moment
playfully hiding behind them when nervous
buttoning up their cardigan slowly
whispering “you make me feel safe”
I just wanna feel something deep (him inside of me)
