The Diary of Nicholas (blank pages)

In blood, began your reign.

and

In blood, came to an end your reign.

When I look at the very last note of your diary,

those words I do not understand,

I get lost in my thoughts.

Those blank pages that you left behind, they will cry of longing,

we can almost hear the echo of your voice.

I remember well your face because I have seen it many times.

In those old photographs.

Your gentle eyes, look upon me with sadness.

Still full of love

and faith.

Maybe you secretly wish for a normal life.

You had believe in humanity, until the very end.

There is no justification for the tragedy.

When I look at the very last note of your diary,

those words I do not understand,

I get lost in my thoughts.

In blood, began your reign.

and

In blood, came to an end your reign.

You had believe in humanity,

until the very end.

You can rest now in peace, with your family.
