• how to save a life

    i saw horrible things, my dear
    horribly wasted innocent babies
    your stomach would turn
    eyes would bleed
    and hearts would swell

    we live in a beautiful world
    choose your glances carefully
    shrivelled grass and skin
    blow in the wind like torn pages

    life is but a dream, they say
    tortured by bandits & penniless drifters
    neon markets and cannibals’ songs
    whispers carried softly upon stale breath
