With time, they darken. They expand into ominous signs, like a bad omen. I remember moments that do notΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «Dogs»

Lovers
I fell deeply in love. With strong emotions pushing the brakes, I gave my heart unconditionally. Years have passed, and so many lovers. Some I can’t remember. Others were special, and I truly loved them. Old loves, which I swore to the moon and the sun that they would last forever.
Captivity
Once upon a time, I was kidnapped. At that time, I naively believed I was safe and that no one would ask anything from me. I lost my way, and they noticed me. They were waiting for me.

Muslim
In my country, I learned how to protect myself. Protection from sun, wind, and men. Heavy clothing covers the skin, and scarves cover the face.

The Glass
I Regret. I had to keep my cool. But when I drink a few more glasses, it’s impossible. I freak out. They say your true self comes out when you’re drunk. If that’s the case, then I must be scared of myself. I’ve never lost control so much before. It just happened. Now that IΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «The Glass»
The Tie
I am suffocated by this tie, as this woman suffocates me. She tightens my neck tightly, sitting in a knot. I’m patient, and I fix her. She tightens again as if she’s doing it on purpose. Every time I want to untie her, I don’t. I really like this particular tie, as I like thisΣυνέχεια ανάγνωσης «The Tie»
