Breaks the heart...

Sticks and stones are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art,
Words can sting like anything
But silence breaks the heart.

    Wow! I really like this one. You did an awesome job on the features of her face. And the quote; that touched me. This has been a hard week. Nicely done, Aarti, you get better and better with each one.
