Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;These violet delights have violent ends<br /> And in their triumph die, like fire and powder.<br /> Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest homey<br /> Is loathsome in his own deliciousness<br /> And in the taste confounds the appetite.<br /> Therefore love moderately: long love doth so:<br /> Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.&quot;<br /> -Friar Lawrence.

The monster inside me is let lose.
It thinks for me.
Says what I should say.
The monster holds me close.
He tells me he is all I need.
The monster makes me want him.
Makes me the person I never thought I would see,
He kisses my lips and says,
"Leave me and life only gets worse,
You need me,
You can't live without me."
