Favorite Quote:
Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.

Day turns night 

young turns old

flowers wither

blood runs cold

Hearts stop beating

breath is lost 

life is fleeting

but at what cost?

we are fragile beings

born to be broken

the fair lady life

offers sorrow as her token

life may be fleeting

but with life comes grief

oh, dear lady life
death is thy sweet relief.
