Mysterious creatures of the night; Haunting dreams; The windows bolted and doors locked. If only they could do the same; As they hang beneath their makeshift tent; Concealing themselves from the curious creatures of the day.
A Single Tear
And my heart melts…
I See You
I see you in all the beautiful colors.
