A Warning From A Lady
I am over it, I'm cancelling it, Marriage? I am not a vow, Until I see what I saw, I left the effect of Aww, I lead my life in a soar, Please, I don't even need to listen, My skin is still glowing and porcelain, There is nothing to claim, Please, for all my attornies to shut down his name, I have my own...

The People Loved What They Had Loved Before
We did not worship at the shrine of tears; we knew not to believe, not to confess.

Molten dreams flow out the seams, denying the laws of gravity as they capture every tower seen. I am not the 'me' you know as 'me', and I am not, was not, never will be the hero that...
