On God's God
When You told me You believed in god
I could not help but gawk at the thought.
In Your eyes, we are the will of our fates,
and I choose the word “fate” cautiously.
I do not think Your devotion is my destiny. -
It Will Come Again
It will walk in through the door: insistent like a robber, but passive like a hungry, distant son. -
I Left a Glass of Milk
