All you really have... is now.

That's what I love about poetry. The more abstract, the better. The stuff where you're not sure what the poet's talking about. You may have an idea, but you can't be sure. Not a hundred percent. Each word, specifically chosen, could have a million different meanings.

I wanted people to trust me, despite anything they'd heard. And more than that, I wanted them to know me. Not the stuff they thought they knew about me. No, the real me.

But they were wrong. There was a reason.
Jay Asher
Image
How many times had I let myself connect with someone only to have it thrown back in my face?
Jay Asher
Image
He looks out into the empty street, allowing me to sit in his car and just miss her. To miss her each time I pull in a breath of air. To miss her with a heart that feels so cold by itself, but warm when thoughts of her flow through me.
Jay Asher
Image
Everything seemed good, but I knew it had the potential to be awful.
Jay Asher
Image
She wants to believe my excuses so bad. Every time I lie, she wants to believe me so much.
Jay Asher
Image
Did the poet use red to symbolize blood? Anger? Lust? Or is the wheelbarrow simply red because red sounded better than black?
Jay Asher
Image
The main thing I wanted to say, and thankfully it’s what most people say they get out of the book, is simply an acknowledgement that we do affect each other in ways we can’t predict.
Jay Asher
Image
And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor.
Jay Asher
Image
And it feels strange, almost sad, to walk through ther empty halls. Each step I take sounds so lonely.
Jay Asher

We all know the sound a camera makes when it snaps a picture. Even some of the digitals do it for nostalgia’s sake.
