Sleepless now the night has gone away and here again I in silence lay I hear my heart pounding in my head a dull ache where sleep should be instead the east is today’s not only break this punishment for a fool’s mistake and slowly wind these strings undone a passage lost where once was one "i am out of estrogen and i have a gun" |

I'm having a night like this currently. A night where everything's breaking except the dawn. Good write. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
