My heavy, young chest has longed for a heart
That is going to fill the missing part
A part that bleeds cyan and tastes pretty ta𝘳t
It is still trying to find it at every opportunity, throwing its 143rd dart.

An underrated universality, as heavy as absolution,
The moment hope shatters to a thousand pieces when it finally hits the face, the realization.
It's only your soul that will do, create your salvation,
The little child in me is mad at romance movies, such a misrepresentation.
Suffering is not poetic now.
It's just a pressure, aching in your throat that you have to bow.
"Things get better", that's what i hear, i hope it is a true vow.
I realized i have some fresh wrinkles on my forehead,
Is it because all that happened or should i put the blame to the habit of my eyebrows?
I live on the eastside and I find myself thinking about you often.
I've got to collect all the fallen rubble and put those past memories to the coffin.

I tend to hold onto patterns fearing I'll lose a part of me and die from coughing.
I truly wish that when i take a quick glance in the mirror I'd see myself genuinely laughing.
Rewriting a list for a thousand times now, of everything I've been busy chasing.

Squeezed by uncertainties thinking what path there'll be for me to follow,
The only thing I can find strength to do is to hope I won't end up in a hollow.
The light of the attention rectangle melts the candle of my mind,
Not a choice anymore, just a routine to take a look at it; makes me blind.
No matter how badly I crave it, I can't seem to open the blinds,
The last crumbs of my sanity - I hear them grind.

A place to run away from reality, "connect with the loved ones digitally",
Special cords are drifting away now, seems pretty contradictory.
The purpose of earth is to connect, at least I thought so,
When did it all get this performative and vicarious? Such a fiasco.
Silly 5 year old me, such a great pity,
For him to think he could fill the deep hole carefully,
By pleasing forbidden bodies, intuition was screaming for him to flee,
No danger sign warned against transformation into something he never ever meant to be.

When lights of our stars collide,
Only for it to provide some lust and a bit of pride.
All of the storm and misery we set aside,
Touching others just caused more times that we lied.
All heavy chests that yearn for love suffer from this viral infection although hardspun masks try to hide.

The saviour that quiet boy longed for decades and years,
Was all along his future mirror stepping into being twenty-something after a billion tears.
The one that would give him all the love he had ever feared,
Was his own bleeding heart caged in reseda - at least now for me, it cheers.
Every translation is an act of betrayal.
That pain in your semantical chest, such a precious tutorial.
Creating a new product just for the target or remaining loyal,
A choice of yours, to be a bridge, to be medial...

It got too old, to be stuck between target and source,
Sometimes it flows as a river, and then all eyes can sense the force.
Regaining what was buried under your soul, the skopos,
And maybe that's why you found strength to delete those photos.

While robots translate texts without feeling,
Nida created what we call the equivalent effect, for months; he was trying.
Creativity is a sick man now, bleeding from coughing,
Perhaps dictionary cycles exist to be completed.
La trace de rayure que tu as laissée sur ma machine de fonctionnement
Me fait peur,
La possibilité qu’elle ne disparaisse jamais,
Et en même temps la possibilité qu’elle disparaisse aussi.
Je veux trouver une définition pour ce dilemme étrange,
Autant que toi tu es prêt à laisser notre lien sans définition.
