I don't like myself, I don't understand I can't , for how with skin so fine and fray, to run my fingers across your body tickling as you wriggle about, or eyes blue no green I can't decide that glare into the sunset orange or whatever I'm not good with colours exposing old souls trapped in young...Read more
