My Doodles
SpoilerShe’s the light of my life, the dark of my night, the fire of my hearth, the ice of my heart.~me
She’s my shade in summer, my warmth in winter, my bread against hunger, my wine against thirst.
She’s the burr in my boot, the thorn in my side, my guardian angel, my demon child!
The reason I am, the bane of existence! She’s my home, my labor, my play, my rest!
She is my LOVE!
SpoilerWe thought her dying while she slept, and sleeping when she died.~Bram Stoker
