Crime or Grime
why do apologies have to be the common form of communication here? our beginning was bliss. now, it’s like a ditch. all you professed fell on your deaf ear. you were the one. the laughter. the kind eyes. you could buy time, and always gifted smiles. I was a newborn. you showed no disguise under […]
