don't understand me then
i feel it becoming wrinkles in my skin anyhow
deepening further and further
burying my whole self under more skin
i look tired
but don't look at the wrinkles!
see me this way
no! not that way
this way
do you see my face?
i'm still beautiful, right? even in this light?
aren't i?
you will surely love me if i'm beautiful, won't you?
will you be able to perceive my beauty?
and then translate it into your own language?
you too - what about yours?
there are too many steps to be seen as what i am
so i crumple down
i scream with my sore throat,
into the empty void of the dark city
"let me be!"
it echos and no ones even there
i tell myself to forget about love
convince myself it's better this way
to be a solitary dark creature
that dwells underneath the city, underneath the pressure of gravity,
of the thick humidity of it all
i won't produce any sound
no one will even know i'm here
