THE ROAD AHEAD

  Written by PassionWriting and HastyWords Walking ahead, I turn back I see someone in the middle of the road The face is strikingly similar The eyes are a shade I can never forget!   The air passes quickly by Stirring up the shadows in her hair I try to turn my head away But…

BORROW MY EYES

Written by BrandonBored and HastyWords Please keep Brandon and his friend in your thoughts!     Can it really be true? I see what he does to you Yet you see things different Though it’s happening to you   A gift to look forwards To see what can happen But insight comes from times I…
