Emotional Bankruptcy

January 13, 2025February 7, 2025 ElRoyPoet

Money can’t buy me love,But I can buy more time.In fleeting moments, I chase the thrill,Hoping my heart’s empty spaces, money will fill .Yet laughter drifts like autumn leaves,Golden and beautiful, but destined to fail,And those smiles fade, just as … Continue reading Emotional Bankruptcy
