Thinking About You

Icing On The Cake

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Cigarette rings and whiskey kisses

Velvet skin and eyes of blue

Visions of tattered lace and glitter, wishes too good to be true

Battle scars from loves near misses. Warriors cry out sweet songs for you

Lavender in bits and pieces, linger in the morning dew
