Tongue like a blade yet witless
Bleeding heart that’s chaste as ice

I would ask for help but I don't want to be a burden
when I'm stuck in my own head because I'm still hurting
I drove through the city today.The one you always tell me about.The old bricks seemed to scream your name.And my heart, it burned hotter than the forges of the factory fires.I wish I could tell you about it.

Nothing is as magical as a good book,
Nor as deep as the ocean,
Or as sharp as a knife.
Nothing is as strong as a bear,
Nor as silent as a mouse,

At the age of 7, I found a passion for literature that I had been raised to value. My mother new the benefits of opening the door to a positive outlet for a young woman that was destined to go through Hell and high water.
We walked hand-in-hand
Through the woods
With the sun at our backs
