Favorite Quote:
When pencil is put to paper an epic battle of words, mind and want are all that there is, until the graphite breaks.

One shot of love steals the heart
Arc of light forever lost against the tide
I watched, but I’m stupid I didn’t see anything
I wondered, but I’m damaged, I didn’t stop anything
I’m sorry, but I’m Freezing, I didn’t want to cry
One shot for love stole more than the heart
I believe it will end in light
After the darkness
