Broken, just like us

Breakup Nonet Challenge Entry

By Paul StewartPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

oh, to lie and say it doesn't fucking hurt

the second greatest lie I've told

the challenge - survive the day

without you by my side

it's hard to complain

when I'm to blame

trust, broken

just like

us

Thanks for reading!
