We always had a strong relationship.

You see…
I’m just a lonesome soul on a dark path
I’ve had my toll I’ve felt the wrath
Barely ever seen light on hells path
Telling the untold story of my childhoodRewinding the despicable memories that withdraws me from fully happinessTo me when I was a little girlpeace meant warand joy meant agony, because it came with sacrifices Rewind.......... Back to the time w
