Favorite Quote:
“I'm hunger. I'm thirst. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies.” - C.S Lewis in Prince Caspian

Black Roses

White roses in my hospital room
Blue roses in the crib
Pink roses for my childhood
Until I broke my rib
Orange roses for the summer days
Green roses for the spring
Red roses for my valentine
A bouquet she will fling
Purple roses for the best of times
Violet for her last breath
Grey roses for the worst of times
Black roses for my death
