What I want to know: Is my dreamer day dreaming Or sleeping peacefully and Do they know I'm wondering In my sleepless night?

Unfathomable
I knew you from the first "Ah, there you are, "I've been looking everywhere!"

Metamorphosis

When next we met A lifetime on I told you what I knew was gone . Alone I shook Inside the … Continue reading Metamorphosis
