The cold of the past still lingers

You are the one who claims morality

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

The cold of the past still freezes the tears in my eyes

And the winter breezes still cause me some suffocation

And my world still revolves despite the division of the planet

And my chest still overflows with the fatigue of the years and exhaustion

So what do I do to escape the sadness that woke me up

And kept me awake in the darkness of the night for the tears of tomorrow?

Oh friends of life, you who were companions of the path

Leave me with you alive, I surrender the covenant

In my sadness I declared it and made a covenant with it

So leave me, my companions, for I need longing

I do not want my ignorance to fold the years, so that you begin to separate

For the headache of the long night has created a rift within me

And made me lean alone, disappearing in the darkness of the alley

Depressed until I lost my way and became in the tunnels

The cold still freezes the blood in the depths and makes me long

For the warmth of spring and the blooming of the beautiful flower, I have begun to burn

I am tired of your efforts, oh friends of the path, you who claim morality

And you, as soon as the earth shook, announced your separation from me

How many times have I imagined myself drowning in the sea waters

No one heard my voice and removed from me these feelings and the feeling of failure

And I went to the crossroads alone without friends

Until I stood on the edge of the river and felt a desire to Slipping

I put my feet in the air far on the edge of hypocrisy

Then I lit a fire that burned me with its flames

The longings still haunt me whenever longing visits them

And make me a place for the tears that began to flow in my soul.
