Art is the essence of love, love is the essence of art.<br /> I&#039;d rather have a thousand regrets because I thought with my heart than play it safe and think with my mind, never knowing what was out there.<br /> The world has a voice. You just have to give it permission to speak

Silence is golden…
Silence is death…
Silence…
The sound of my very last breath…

The eyes burn with tears…
And the voice cracks in pain…
Three words tossed aside…
Spoken in vain…

The fingers, they shiver…
The fear sets in…
You can’t end a life…
That refused to begin…

I fall to my knees…
You’re begged not to go…
Your words bruise the heart…
And my blood starts to slow…



Silence is golden…
There’s silence in fear…
Silence is death…
Silence is here…

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
