The Red Couch

[expiring_touch]

if i were honest, this fell rather flat. Or even forced -- the repetition, the beaming-stared-squinting--- structure. Besides, if smth were once lavish and ornate, is it possible that it would ever become 'simple'? i mean, all those caste or church ruins,once so lavish and ornate, still remain that way, even though in a different way.
