All the Things You Cannot Feel
Close down they say Don’t feel the world It is too muddled Too angry Too painful Be afraid Be very afraid I love you they say Then they go away So you do not ever feel love In the same way again I’m your friend they say Then they’re gone Like mist on an autumnContinueContinue reading “All the Things You Cannot Feel”
