Small Ghost Quotes

“she doesn’t remember running straight into her grandmother’s birdbath when she was a child either but she has the scar to prove it well she had the scar to prove it. but she misplaced it with the rest of her skin somewhere. it’s strange all the things you forget about when you can’t find the scars to prove they happened anymore.”
― Trista Mateer, Small Ghost

“all she knows is that she’s tired of letting the things she doesn’t forgive herself for pile up like leaves in the autumn”
― Trista Mateer, Small Ghost

“SMALL GHOST HAS ANOTHER BREAKDOWN

small ghost watches the blood pump in your neck
small ghost fills up the bathtub just to drain it
small ghost wants to crawl into bed with her mother
small ghost is so tired
she’s so tired
she’s so fucking tired

the cobwebs in her head feel so heavy, you know?
and it’s like when they started spinning themselves
it wasn’t such a big deal
but now that they’re here????
they’re just so heavy/she’s just so tired/she’s just so/she’s just

she paces the kitchen
walks past your new set of knives over and over
has to remind herself twice in the span of five minutes

you can’t kill something that’s already dead

and isn’t that the point
isn’t that why she became a small ghost anyway

she can’t remember when she started digging her own grave
but now she can’t stop hovering over it”
― Trista Mateer, Small Ghost

“there’s something about emptying her guts out to people who don’t ask for her name that doesn’t feel good but it feels okay”
― Trista Mateer, Small Ghost

“she can’t remember when she started digging her own grave

but now she can’t stop hovering over it”
― Trista Mateer, Small Ghost
