So desolate that nobody comes, to see behind the locked door, where in a world of perpetual darkness, a lost heart dwells. In seclusion with the dog, he contends with his own inner war while his cooking and extinct cigarettes leave lingering smells. The silence, only sometimes broken, by the raging ocean swells. On this remote shore growing old and bent, with the dog, alone, life is simple, and love is something that other people own. |

I think I know someone like this, but he keeps the door locked on purpose. Enjoyed All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |

Temptress, then there are some that don't even realise they have locked the door. Nakdthoughts, a cat is confidence with a tail, thats why they think they own us. Thank you both for stopping by to read. |
