I only have leftovers

It was commandments.

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago β€’ 1 min read

All I have left are remnants

Remnant memories

Growing in the corners

And no one knows what the secrets are

Or where the sins lead?

Is it right to do what is right if we bury the fragments?

If I had commandments

So that mirrors would not reflect me

If the borders that separate us would unite us

So that the cells would unite

And draw the glow of a night that violated the commandments

And go on waiting for a glowing crescent

After the secrets scattered us

The dams told us the secrets

The secrets of the flags decorated the palaces

So the folds were reflected inside me

I was just a memory of years

They seemed to me like sins now

Oh my heart, bring me

Good news, for I long for my anchorage

And let the soul fall

Into a sea without secrets

For tears have become my youth

And memories were nothing but oblivion

For dreams were nothing but remnants

So do not send your longing upon me

For I am lost between my skies

And do not leave my hand, for your hand is

Warmth and heat, so leave it until death

And do not let the heart cry

For its crying is alienation

And if it is tears

Then it is sins

The soul longs

Until the borders of the hidden
