A-y-greyson Quote by A.Y. Greyson

“Crossing lines that can never be uncrossed. Clangoring out words that can never be forgot. Leaving welts behind with their lashing tongues. Caring not of the unsaintly bell they have rung. Oh, bitter hearts of selfish minds You know not the poison you leave behind.” quote by A.Y. Greyson
