I lay shackled
in this desolate room of mine.
Even now,
a lingering drop of a beat remains.
Even the sight of air
that resembles you—
makes my core outlandish
and unfamiliar.
Vanishing all my obligations,
as if they were only dreams.
And yet,
I ask for nothing
but freedom
from the curse that has befallen me.
I’ll wait—
I’ll long—
I’ll dream—
of the day I see the smile
on your face again.
