the single life

is

swinging doors

heels on pavement

dragging half a soul

in hands well practiced

longing for your touch


Get out.




The Others Fall

Our Mirrors Merge.





TheTakenLife







is







buffered failures





growth of embers







one eye blind.









Weareone
























Please don't go.

I think this happened because I played around with the syntax abit. The original version can be found on my deviantart (m-chapman.deviantart.com).

Did you mean to make all of those spaces? If not, they did this to me too! Look at my "Fading Aspirations" and you'll see what I mean. Other than that I like how you tell the audience what to think instead of figuring it out for themselves.
