Two beds and a coffee machine
Between four weary walls.
An imitation of life,
That a faraway voice speaks of;
It is senseless though sensible.
I wonder, how many times, how many lies
Will be told before something beautiful appears?
A thousand words fly like a bird
In to the secret garden,
filled with shadows and tall trees,
Where memories of mistakes
and a painful past sulks.
Hidden, waiting…
Waiting for serenity.
Hopefully, regret will be cured
The day after tomorrow…
