The mother, with the baby on her back, walked through the barren land. The hunt for water seemed never-ending.

She was resting ju  Read More...

Everyday we stand face to face for a second, I look her in the eye and try to reconcile... She stares impassively, And I see through her exhaustion disguised as coldness.

Untangled me from the sheets, My eyes bloodshot... Cried their way through the night, But still the roses in my hand...   My shirt's all befouled red, You yanked my heart out of me...
