Together you made my whole world Although not as united, not as one You were the sea, he was the sky The lifelong illusion was the horizon People ever stared in awe Little did they know you never really touched Now, you tried, you did And all the corners collapsed Everything is broken But forContinue reading “Atlas”

Curse Unbroken
