Too long til fall. sick summer in bed.
You and a lazy mood.
10 times the fall. spread, sacked, and I've failed.
Nobody move.
To far (long) to fall. sat shiver in bed.
You and a test of will.
Too many fallen, too many failed.
Nobody move.
Days with the light off, freezing.
You and i. uneasy. livid.
Stop its too late
I'm feeling frustrated
I see no sign of fortress
Safe as a cootie wootie with you.
Never pretend the chill.
Too many shadows, too many sails.
Nobody move.
Summer is only winter with you.
How can you really feel?
2 of another. none of a pair.
Nobody move.
Another delay. too many hassles,
Where do we go? how do we follow?
