Opinions
You saw her I saw her we met her the same day From that point Like was never the same Enigma Hiding in plain sight You made it all look so right So bright Your demons laughed at me I would never catch you But I would catch you, didn’t I? Naivety killed me Now a third of my soul Potential gone If I was a mother Is this what it feels like to lose her son?
