This life is ruined, without a single thing in hand.
Here in a lonely, quiet space.
Everyone is bathing in someone else’s poetry, so they can shed tears.
Even that act lacks sufficient beauty,
Unpleasant as gum that’s lost all its flavor.
Rapidly developing a new concept of beauty,
Enforced by someone else.
If I were to wipe clear
The words I was using for effect, while hiding my wavering heart…
On days the rain is this cold, be sure to come pick me up!
Don’t let my long, long wait go to waste!
Right now is enough.
This alone is enough.
Someone is using someone else’s death, in order to shed tears.
On days the rain is this loud, be sure to tell me the truth!
No one can hear you anyway, so don’t agonize over it!
Don’t stay hidden in there
Forever.
