Knowing that bird of mine
Though flown shall in a distant tree
Bright melody for me
Return.”

“I'd give him all that I am.
I'd give him all that I was.
I'd open up a vein.

I'd tie our hearts together, chamber by chamber.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Wayward Son

“Abuse is also when your personality is attacked, not just your body. Abuse is feeling like you constantly have to walk on eggshells around the person you're supposed to love. Abuse is being cut off from your friends, even if you could never prove it was their idea you did it. Abuse is being made to feel you're going crazy. Abuse is being lured in with grand promises and wild declarations of love that can never be sustained. Abuse is being pushed into doing sexual things you're not comfortable with. That is also called rape, another word that has taken me some time to feel belongs to me. Abuse is intentionally humiliating you. Abuse is constantly blaming you for everything, and never them.”
― Holly Bourne, The Places I've Cried in Public
