shallowness
mga 3d
When the river is shallow, you cannot dive deep in,
unless it is a vision meant for you to drown in.
Waters were peaceful — how could I know?
They were murky, the last thing I saw.
Maybe I thought that azure colour was real,
hypnotized by the waves that you didn't feel.
You were the one to call it a perfect sea.

It was deeper than I imagined — I drowned, couldn't breathe.
Only saw you, gasping for air, breaking through the breeze.
You were already standing on the coast,
It was cruel that I thought I had the most.
I was naive; I thought I could dive.
For goodbye, you should know I only cried twice.
The tears blended into the waters,
I asked Poseidon: "What are these wonders?"

He said: "It is a state of your mind."
He tried to see if I was truly kind.
You made the maelstrom inside my peace,
I am waving with a clenched fist.
Supposedly, the waters are an unknown field,
some of them made you healed,
some of them almost crushed you,
some of them thought they were flawless.
some of them needed only two weeks to become aweless.

It was shallow — you were fast.
I drowned, I'm stuck in the past.

lens fell out of my glasses
the world turned blurry
saturation lost its meaning
not warm but a cold feeling
all after our sightseeing

showed you my nostalgic places
walked you through my town
through the dark mazes
made by my mind
quiet
silence
a kiss brought by night

but the lens still fell out
it was a sign
to stop being blind

when i was painting "ruby dress skinny dog"
thought my love language was real
when i pushed away the mental fog
thought i could overcome my zeal
when i was picking wildflowers on rainy day
thought mother nature would heal
not only my ambivalence
but your feelings that sank in silence

it all was a misleading blindness
my glasses are empty
you circled back to the old ones
and wore them as brand new
so your colors would return

letting me and my town burn.

— The End —
