Favorite Quote:
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix


Her restless eyes close
A dried petal from a dead rose
As the stars rise back into the sky
Silent thoughts begin to fly

She revisits her childhood
Beautiful mistakes are misundertood
As the world keeps on going beyond her bed
Is she practically not dead?

Midnight angels at the door
You cannot say goodbye anymore
For when you sleep you put your life at stake
Because you never know if you may wake
