Omnia *** pretio.

The door slammed
like a gunshot.

His life had
just left him.

No respite.

Now he had
to learn
how to live
with a whole
new life.

It's always
something.

Bobby was a dog ,
short and wispy golden brown ,
muddy fur ,
he went everywhere ,
we went ,
we went everywhere ,
he went .

Bobby was a dog ,
he'd wait all day ,
until we were free ,
from schools ,
and rules ,
and grown up fools ,
to swim in waters ,
clear and free .

Bobby was a dog ,
a loyal friend ,
taught me a love ,
i'll always defend ,
we had nothing together ,
save cuts and laughs ,
fears and tears .

Bobby was a dog ,
everyone knew ,
if he was there ,
we were too .
Bobby was a dog ,
my friend you see ,
we buried him together ,
my brother and me .

all i can say is all i'm allowed to say .
all i can do ,
is to be done ,
i have a picture ,
bleached by the Sun ,
i'm coming back for you ,
i know where to find you ,
waiting for today ...

all i can see is all i'm shown ,
all i can have has been had ,
i have a memory ,
weathered by time ,
i'm coming home for you ,
i know where to find you ,
waiting for today .

they gave me one last chance to decide. they have been fighting with other since 17 years ago, the day i was born. and now they want me to choose one side. it all started because of you, once they saw you they immediately agree with each other on one thing; all three of us needed you. your smile made us melt, your laugh made their arguments fell, your voice alone forced them to shake hands and demand truce. the best part was they even committed ideas to me on how to steal your heart. everything was going well between these two kingdoms, and their peace made me happy too.

but then you left. the war started again, in a much bigger scale. they tried to call for truce for a few times but everything went wrong without you. they ended up hurting me, and what i can only do was to sit still and feel everything. i went down, your absence did hurt me as they started to blame me for losing you. i started to lose control, and they scrambled with each other to try and control me, forcefully. i never liked my heart's decisions, and my brain's also stupid. it almost felt like i had two uncontrollable hearts. since you left, everything i did went wrong and ended up hurting all of us again and again.

one day, i woke up after passing out of tiring and exhausting nights thinking about how to make them at peace again. they were silent that day and that made me feel weird. no arguments heard, and my head's not spinning as usual. i came knocking at my brain's door and i found him sitting on a dark corner, crying. he told me he gave up, he couldn't take it anymore. after i walked out of his house, he slammed the door behind me, and so i went to see my heart. as i thought, he gave up as well. i went back home, not knowing what to feel.

one day, they came knocking at my door, asking me to side with one of them for once and forever. i refused, as i don't know what to reply or what to feel. they left, and after a few moments i heard another knock at my door and i opened the door.

*"do you have a place for me to stay? my name's emptiness."

I know I've poisoned myself,
But if you can raise the dead back to life,
Couldn't you heal me with your word,
And restore me with a touch?
