			<title>Heart Ripped</title>

			<title>Through the Looking Glass</title>
			<description> As though she were dying, living was a constant struggle. The sound of teenage girls laughing and a newborn babe cry. These things brought beauty to her eye.Smelling flowers and fresh cut grass. Looking at all the colors through a  beautiful looking glass. The colors of the leaves and fruit..</description>

			<title>Pure Heart Love and Hate </title>
			<description>Will this suffering soul never seem to cease. From dragons, witches, and blood dripping beast. My heart was pure once upon a time. But between love and hate is a fine shallow line.
