[New Poem] [Creation] The long afterglow (from is not the beauty of the sunset)

(What will we usher in after the dark and bright?)

When you search like this with deep eyes

(I don't know) I have to tell the truth

I can't take you

sad expression

I hold hands with you to watch the long sunset

(Just like that, don't part with me, okay?)

Treat it like a silly joke (but still cruel)

Sometimes I can't help myself, sometimes I can't do anything about it

(You try to pedal hard on the sand, leaving a little mark...)

(How stark, self-aware.)

I laughed bitterly

You too

(You tell me sternly, that's not the beauty of the sunset...)

(You grab my shoulder and say, you haven't turned to ashes.)

That's the dark red blood from your scars

But I see buds hidden inside (made of tears)

Why do people who are optimistic behind their back hurt their hearts?

(I don't understand, I can't enter your world...)

You on the ferry (distant you)

without saying a word

In the afterglow, your back is long and narrow

I can't grasp it, I can't pick it up

(My vision is hazy...)
