Favorite Quote:
The best things in life are unseen, that's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream.
What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.

The house was all wrong for them
Once so loving, so strong
Breaking down, falling to pieces
How did it become so wrong
It’s just a house to live in
Can’t ever call it a home
Put a lifeless name on an empty face
This place is their headstone
What happened to this family
Broken memories have just begun
Eyes on fire, burning smoke
When all is said and done
A match is lit and flames erupt
A lifeless dream is put to sleep
Stuck forever in a hell
Where the devil breathes a breath too deep
