I Was There Once


"Love of my life

Why do you hold a knife?

Don't you know the love?

And hope from up above

The demons you are now free of

The demands that you must give up

But you afriad that you might,

                                Slip up

                                Trip up

On words that once came easy

The hurt you buried so deeply

All the secrets you were keeping

As you tried to hide your feelings

Ordinary now seems appealing

I know,I was there once,   Believe me."

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
