If no one dies tonight?
If bullets stop flying?
If innocent lives weren’t dying?

Life Is Not a Nursery Rhyme

...Regrets
Regrets bleeding into an endless ocean,
I discover myself falling through infinity.
Grasping, unconsciously, the reality of the world.

More faith in a crevasse of Siula Grande,

In every bit of the word,
Not capable of anything right,
Trying so hard to be good,

But what else do you know
