A Cell with no bars
I can’t think of them as bars… If I do, I’ll lose my focus, my perspective, my sense of reality.

Pure Lust

Why does she taunt and tease me so? How can she continue to elude me? Who is this woman? I’ve known her all my life. We once had an intensely intimate and passionate relationship. I miss her with every fibre of my being. I want her back. Will she give in? Who is this woman? Her name is Freedom… |
