relationships – Secret Thoughts Within

Blank Stare

I tell you I feel alone you stare back at me confirming my deepest fears – you’re emotionally unavailable (again) I’m all alone (again) Open your mouth tell me what you’re thinking give me a glimpse of your heart – do you have space in there for me or is it locked without a key? You don’t have to be poetic I’ve never neededContinue reading “Blank Stare”
