ATARI

I got a stain on his favourite hoodie, the one he would let me wear. The stain wouldn't come out, so I couldn't help but feel like he left with a piece of me when he took it back. Eventually he would leave with more than just his hoodie. He left with the fragments of … Continue reading ATARI →
