THE AFTERMATH OF ME

THE AFTERMATH OF ME by Hastywords Would you stick around to understand All the strangeness that makes me tick Stay and feel the course my blood takes When passion marks my staccato breath Changing the whine in my voice To a distinct and lingering purrrrrr Would you use me up and throw me away Or…

STARDUST

She used to love the colors That followed the setting sun How the streaks carried on As if they had forever to run She used to feel the warmth On the other side of daybreak She had absorbed its beams Healing every past heartbreak But not today… Today the stars cried Its stardust our demise…

LIFTING MY SOUL OFF THE PAGES
