Petulant cold snaps, squalls and hail the exit price you pay.

I crawl into a cave called myself.
It’s dry and dusty, cobwebbed.
So afraid to be, alone in the dark,
“Who am I,” is my cry.

Premium Member Notions
Sometimes folks get notions,
'Bout certain people, places, things,
And get the wrong impression,
From the feelings that they bring.

as soothing as...

Minutes
when instant gratification
