from bone to soul
i stand alone but i am not free i never was from the other one who looks back at me through the reflection it builds a wall within of fears and webs scratching at the barrier of my solitude in shadows of sin and pints of joy it smiles at the pain it causes the bone to chill and the soul to whither and all … Continue reading from bone to soul
