Do Not OpenSometimes I wish that I could just cry and drown my eyes but unfortunately all of me inside is dried and ruined and shriviled up in the sunDo Not Open
Every tear that could be shed would be a beautiful blue I could dedicate and name the color after you but right now my blood is too restricted to run
The things you say are jumbled words that don't make sense anymore I scribble them down on the back of my faded bedroom door and from the other side they seem to be so clear and bright Butterflies pinned down under glass have more freedom than I because at least at one point they could


Golden Town Chapter 1. From the small house on Weave Street came some soft acoustic music, and quiet singing.
