My Uncanny Sighs of Distress and the Tears of Tribulation
I’m in distress
I can’t express
How I feel deep down inside
This feeling is a terrible tide
How do I impress
Everyone here in excess?
I’m just here to simply abide
By God’s Law, I don’t subside
My tears are diamonds in...

Soaking in your sweet smile,

But my soul was being torn asunder,
And...

Valentines Day Is Everyday
Her cognition is sporadic

Aphradere: Enlightening the Kindled Embers Within

Love you unbearably and truly,
So don’t be such...
