I'm feeling wistful and withdrawn,
As if I'm trapped beneath a shroud.
My mood is grim, my thoughts forlorn,

by INTERCESSOR...'progress and development'...
the IMMOLATION of past woodlands' lovely trees.

that know her . Her friendships are usually transitory and often dissipate quickly due to
her inurbane demeanour which also causes her
