One that longs for another heart to feel at peace
Runs marathons just for a mere sight
For a little dialogue to reignite the old spark

A Tag of Pain

Induring comes with an ocean of tears

Born with a big smirk on my kisser
But don't ever take me at face value
You can trust me like my sister
I'm honest as the day is long
You can trust me w...

Resistance and Its Minions

it must be the sun,
or the bees or the trees

No, it's a plaintive push,
