Only my echoes are heard In this darkness I see nothing Feel nothing Uncertain of what surrounds me My echoes continue to carry No response can be heard Not an ounce of light A blindness surrounds me Alone in complete darkness A coldness is felt in my echoes Falling on death ears nothing to listen […]

When I read it I did a double take Why are they posting about you Maybe I read it too quickly I read it again It was you Was it true? Then my feeds updates And more people are posting about you I ask what happen Heart attack they say A year older than me […]
