Moonless Dawn"
I wanted to die and close my eyes
Return myself to nothing
I wanted to erase my memories and sleep without thought
Cloudy skies and flickering rain
Like yesterday's weather was a lie
The rain tried to beat it into me:
Stop reflecting life's misery
The wind, if it blows for a moment
How will it change the view as I fall?
Even as I'm confined to this shell, I sink to the depths of the distant seas alone
There's no point in pleading with my sorrow
I'll be saved by your smiling face
Even though my heart is locked away in a cocoon, I venture deep into the darkened misty forest
The threads of grief an unraveling tangle
I attempt to withstand the moonless dawn and care for the warmth left in my hands
Someday I'll float a sasabune** down a little stream
Can I ever return to that place?
I murmured to the rain
Things will be better tomorrow
