A Heart In The Sand

By Delrondu | Writing

a heart in the sand swallowed by the tide is the story of us a once upon a time thoughts carved in stone in a place of innocence casually on the surface as if time had no relevance the horizon that separates sky and earth two opposite pages a sudden drop heavy like a bomb
