Soulmates Or Emotional Weights
Big and Carrie, a romance that carried Passion, desire, hunger and thirst But a bad boy’s love is what hurts the worst For when one craves and gets an inner inch For love that’s wings are clipped and stitched Conditional flight takes root in one’s soul They forget that unconditional love is the most important goal For his kind cannot fill the...
