I'm not really sure


Days are gone, mind buried by worldly desires. Dark and light, sweet kisses never touched my lips. Dawn whispers, morning lights dull still the golden glow rises. The cotton holds me, nightly tears wither my eye and innocence. You are ugly and so am I, thoughts cross but never settles. Sins happen, faces made as time passes. My only home, sole plain of heaven in this forsaken earth.
