Sirens bloom like poisoned vines Glass confetti cuts the lines A whisper cracks the TV glow The night forgets what it should know Curtains breathe, a shadow slips Cigarette trembles on his lips A door slams shut, a prayer misfires One name burns and never tires The bullet sang a lullaby the wind refused to carry home While the Moon stood still, pretending it had never shone The walls took witness, but their tongues were tied Now the street just hums where a heartbeat died Morning came with bitter grace Blood still warm on yesterday’s face The coffee steams, but no one stirs Silence louder than it ever was Neighbors talk in cautious tones Building myths from shattered phones Flowers wilt where flashlights fade Justice sleeps in the mess it made The bullet sang a lullaby the wind refused to carry home While the Moon stood still, pretending it had never shone The truth turned ghost in the light of dawn And peace packed its bags and moved on The bullet sang a lullaby the wind refused to carry home While the Moon stood still, pretending it had never shone The truth turned ghost in the light of dawn And peace packed its bags and moved on
