Twenty-seven times the city lights
changed fast on empty,
and I feel you're gonna breathe.
I breathe bitter,
and the test of time
treated you rough, always kind.
I let lonely feel the deal,
letting me breathe,
and I breathe hollow.
You breathe empty
without love,
and I breathe without you.
And you breathe.
I believe empty love.
You breathe without love.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
