Fronts Quotes - Page 2

I showed her how I'd been making tiny cuts in my skin to let the badness and the pain leak out.

It made it easier not to think about having my body and my family and my life stolen, made it easier not to care.

When I woke the next morning in my room at White's Motel, I showered and stood naked in front of the mirror, watching myself solemnly brush my teeth. I tried to feel something like excitement but came up only with a morose unease. Every now and then I could see myself-truly see myself-and a sentence would come to me, thundering like a god into my head, and as I saw myself then in front of that tarnished mirror what came was 'the woman with the hole in her heart'. That was me.
