My Life

My life is a hodgepodge of broken dreams and broken promises A tight lipped memorial to lost love and broken hearts I walk in circles just to make myself feel on many days Falling in love with that same blonde lady daily between fits of melancholy and exuberance Morose and silent as everyone pretends not…
