  • Dead-End

    Cold night under the streetlight halfway on a dead-end road I’m burning wholly. Here, where our love died sudden and bloody painted red the roadbed. Now, in this dead cold night me and my tears purging hopelessly memories of yours. ©2024, Vasiliki Papadopoulou, all rights reserved.
