sweetiepie, heartbreak's your birthright

but i don't mind tonight
sufjan stevens

—to be alone with you

I’d swim across Lake Michigan
I’d sell my shoes
I’d give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you

Hedwig And The Angry Inch

—The Origin Of Love

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two
You were looking at me
I was looking at you

You had a way so familiar
But I could not recognize
‘Cause you had blood on your face
I had blood in my eyes

But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same
As the one down in mine

That’s the pain
That cuts a straight line
Down through the heart
We call it love.

So we wrapped our arms around each other
Trying to shove ourselves back together
We were making love
Making love

The Origin Of Love — Hedwig And The Angry Inch

She imagines him imagining her. This is her salvation.

In spirit she walks the city, traces its labyrinths, its dingy mazes: each assignation, each rendezvous, each door and stair and bed. What he said, what she said, what they did, what they did then. Even the times they argued, fought, parted, agonized, rejoined. How they’d loved to cut themselves on each other, taste their own blood. We were ruinous together, she thinks. But how else can we live, these days, except in the midst of ruin?

Sometimes she wants to put a match to him, have done with him; finish with that endless, useless longing. At the very least, daily time and the entropy of her own body should take care of it — wear her thread-bare, wear her out, erase that place in her brain. But no exorcism has been enough, nor has she tried very hard at it. Exorcism is not what she wants. She wants that terrified bliss, like falling out of an airplane by mistake. She wants his famished look.
