Intent

Intent is important 
to prove a crime,
according to IPC.
Action doesn’t matter much
without the intent.

Intent to kill,
intent to love,
intent to hate.

Loving without intent,
killing without meaning to.
hating without intending 
to hate.

But what if you can’t 
love someone
despite all the intent?
What if
the action
falls short?

What if I intend to kill you 
but all i could gather 
was just a little love?

What if I'm a bad bad
guy and despised myself 
all my life for that?

But what if I intend 
to die content,
but don't actually do 
anything about it?

but what if I intend 
to forgive myself just
before my death? 
what if I actually do?

does that wash away 
all the misery?

if I intend to be happy 
just before my death,
and die wearing a smile..
would you call that a 
happy life??

Is life just a long 
preface to a single,
deciding smile?
or that's just another
beautiful lie?
