let me keep my promise

I decided to join

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

Why did you choose me and leave me in the crowd

Lost until I could no longer speak?

When you stole from me every dream that was in the dream

I sacrificed myself and my hand slipped from the bridle

Why didn't you take my opinion when you decided to join

And left me withered like a flower suffering in the crowd?

Why did you sentence me to a prison of sorrows for years

And you didn't ask about me but left me in the band?

And you know my harsh circumstances

And yet you left me until I could no longer speak

And I became a sacrifice prepared for slaughter, O pain

O time, don't object to me, for you are not a cloud

So do not rain in my eyes and fill me with diseases

And let me keep my promise
