CRYPTED (poem)
Sprinted into the vault, To hide away from the fault. Are you a coward? My courage devoured. I neither see me nor you, For my self is in blue. Why are you timid? My heart still throbs, My wounds not healed. The pain so fresh. The flames still burn. My life turned upside down. IneptContinue reading “CRYPTED (poem)”
