Weave him a crown of my lost dreams. I wanted to kneel at his feet and suck his cock. I wanted him on his back, so I could look into his eyes while I fucked him. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 1663016

Whatever the internal mechanism that moderated the human capacity for joy, mine had long been broken beyond repair. And I knew this was a poor substitute, a base shadow cast on the cave wall, a reflection in a tarnished mirror of ordinary things like happiness, love, and hope.

Alexis Hall Quotes 1910598

I closed my eyes, adding dark to dark, and the wanting unfurled like the sails of a phantom ship. This could be my universe.

He was quiet a moment. And then, faintly accusingly, "You know that's adorable, don't you?"

Alexis Hall Quotes 122178

The tapestry of my life was a ruin of unravelling threads. The brightest parts were a nonsensical madman's weaving.

Alexis Hall Quotes 82072

Alexis Hall Quotes 1446697

Um, this is kind of a whole lot more than you kneeling on the floor while I wank. Are you absolutely sure we don't need a safeword?" It was getting increasingly difficult for me to think at all, let alone keep up with him as he jumped from topic to topic, from instinctive control to confessed uncertainty. "Yes, I'm sure." "But aren't we supposed to?" He let me go, and while my body regretted him, my mind cleared a little. "They don't come round and check, Toby. Confiscate our sex licences." His silence suggested he wasn't amused, and I realised I was being too glib. Taking too much for granted. "If it would make you feel safe, then of course, we can have a safeword. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 1368962

It's something I imagine occasionally: waking up to discover civilisation has ended, leaving nothing but empty streets and silence. I don't actually want that to happen, but I ponder what I'd do, and how I'd stay alive. How it would feel to be really alone, and for my loneliness to be written on the landscape rather than merely upon me. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 1341501

Thank you," was all I could think to say. But it wasn't just a dominance game. I meant it. Thank you for the pain. Thank you for letting it mean so much to you. Thank you for believing I'm beautiful. Thank you for making me feel so powerful. Thank you for loving me. Thank you. Thank you. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 1320229

Why, in all the vastness of the world, did a sparkly idiot from Essex make me feel alive? — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 1303969

I'd wasted so much of my life. So many of my days, and all of my promise, all of my dreams, lost to hospitals, to depression, to wanting to die. This wasn't how it was supposed to be. This is not who I am.

Alexis Hall Quotes 1207397

Alexis Hall Quotes 1184660

Knowing the lesson was one fucking thing. Learning it another. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 1478957

He was like a nearly-there Rubik's Cube - this sealed box, all perfect edges and matched-up colors, except for the occasional hopeless misalignment, a lost orange square and a yellow piece stuck in a corner. Though why I thought this made me the right person for him I have no idea.
I'd never solved one of those fuckers in my entire life. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 935443

The truth was, somewhere down the line, between the hospitalisations and the drugs, I'd somehow lost the cornerstone of humanity: the ability to pretend, to counterfeit the basics of social interaction, to smile when you didn't feel like smiling, to seem like you cared about other people when you lacked the capacity to care about yourself. So that left me, graceless and wearied, pretending to pretend. — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 928585

When my own happiness was a mystery to me, what hope did I have of being instrumental in someone else's? — Alexis Hall

Alexis Hall Quotes 886169

Alexis Hall Quotes 872660
