An unfeigned creed

"Shivers down my spine" by Charlotte Joubert

Charlotte Joubert 2012-11-20 I get shivers down my spine, memories replaying in my mind

And all of the things I now must do, with just the memory of you

This urge to feed
a hunger that’s inside of me
An’ it won’t leave or leave me be
Till I'm relieved lyrically
