Distance Between Us Lm
All alone again thinking about you Memories flood my mind tell me this ain't true My world is shattered as you sit in that cell Such a lonely place we know of all to well Tell me it's a dream I'll wake to find you here Gently reaching up to wipe away my tear The warmth of your breath spreads across my skin Your scent surrounds me I take a...

Premium Member A Girl Cousin Battle - Lm
Whose reality? She asked. Wondering if there had been a consensus. Feeling left out by the cousins. No one could answer this. Ah, she thought. Instantly figuring the instigator. Not my reality, she said. The room was silent. Boy cousins knew better than to hop into the fray. This was a girl cousin woman- battle, and could end up ugly. No,...

Premium Member Somewhere Lm
So many times I skip laughing with friends, arm in arm then wake and ... they're gone. Fields where flurries drift - melt on my brow. I reach for a sane moment, steady fingertips - somewhere a smile that didn't hide tears.
