Favorite Quote:
Fearless shame &amp; Pitiful silence. I cry the symphony of the fallen ... Along with the fear comes unreasonable happiness &amp; joyful pain. So why do I have to suffer as you witness this in vain?<br /> (written by me).

Her dying soul, with cascading tears depart,
Synchronizing watches, to the seconds lost.
Hollowing moments blur into each other;
Perpetual motion, she cannot focus.

She takes a deepened breath; then explodes like,
Rushing bullets tearing through embracing wind.
Laughing innocence cries for thoughtless mercy,
While shadows of unholy darkness shroud.

Crimson regret, and screaming, lungful cries;
Her inflicted wounds cry for lost salvation.
Time hastily ticks away, and slowly kills.
Fading to blackness, and cradling the truth.


Disappearing voices forever say,

“Sweet, ruptured love, it ends here tonight.”

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
