time’s sake for souls and places old and...

Nothing is ever straight forwards for me
 For whatever I do I don't quite trust me
 Did I make enough sandwiches, should I cut off the crusts?
 Do I need some more napkins, Will the...

cuz poisonous toxins sting like scorpions
severely crimping ability to sit down absorption
radiating throughout every

SPECIAL K


Devour loneliness
Destroyed being misunderstood
She was eagerly accepted into my fold
Brought in from a harsh winter
Desolation -  wet and cold.

Glass shards and a detruding...
