Lover Quote by Rigoberto Gonzalez

“Unlike my dead lover, I refuse to/ choose the day I shock the world. There's no/ mystery left in suicide. The challenge is, my love,/ to keep yourself awake/ despite the sleeping pill doses of sickness and/ despair.” quote by Rigoberto Gonzalez — Download Open image
