if you’ve reached this point, you’re just like me.
you’ve thought so long, it’s gotten harder to breathe.
the sun cannot stay with the moon in the sky.
even if they need each other to survive.
for the stars had aligned and brought us both here,
but the stars had died just when you got near.
for the world doesn’t care and wishes death on my skin,
but the world will not wear as long as i’m gone and i’m thin.
it likes to make jokes and toy with my eyes,
but it hates me to guts is what i surmise.
but in the very end, you’d still be okay,
your sorrow would only last for a day.
my sorrow will bring to life all above,
my sorrow won’t kill her, if that’s what you want.
i don’t want to be scared, i want to be free,
but my terrors won’t bear the forest -fire-heat.
when august wind comes in january air,
we’ll be undivided, that i swear.
this life brought our fruitless journey obscure,
but maybe in another one, for sure.
