Each time, threads wither… Unraveling, unveiling further Parts of me— Precious, Naked, Fragile, Parts of me I desperately tried to cover up. Yet the clothes cannot hide The bruises inflicted upon me.

My own choices, I clothe my soul. My choice…

Michelle Lewis – The Blessings Butterfly Think that crystals are *just* pretty rocks? Think again! The love of crystals is not just for witches, yogis, geologists and spiritual gurus.

All Rights Reserved. It’s been just over five years, five years since I’ve had any intimacy. No sex, no kissing and no cuddles.
