Quotes by Erika T. Wurth (?)

“God, I had hope a minute ago, but now I feel so empty (...) I wish I could cry, but I can't, I'm broken that way. Just fucking broken, like a clock on the wall. Stopped in time.”
― Erika T. Wurth, White Horse

“I am healed. But I don't realize that healing requires scars, and I am still rough beneath them, I still have pain locked behind that ropy skin. And there is weakness there, there is vulnerability, a thing I have always been terrified of. A thing that has festered. A thing that can take me down into the dark. And feed. And feed.”
― Erika T. Wurth, White Horse

“Behind me, I could hear the lip ring kid whisper, “God, your ass is hot.” I turned around and looked him dead in the eye. “This ass will cut you if you don’t shut the fuck up.” He closed his eyes and bit his lip. I thought I heard a short moan escape. Jesus Christ.”
― Erika T. Wurth, White Horse
