Love’s Words
Love Has sharp words that cut like razor blades that effectively fillet my skin Love Says that the only way to sever our bond is with a sword of hate Love Says that his kindness towards me was fueled only by pity Love Thrashes about violently with such fierce rage he shakes the earth Love … Continue reading Love’s Words
Growing pains
Wait What are we to do with the silence that comes after a swift change? Do we meddle in the process trying to rewrite what has been written?
