Fragile

Holding my patient’s registration ticket that’s grown crumpled,
I’m whiling away the days in my simple imagination.
Suddenly falling asleep from this monotonous scenery,
I’m swayed by the motion of the deadheading train.
With the lights over the billboards looking guilty,
I saw myself smiling when I lowered my eyes.
Cutting through the road in the direction of the alley,
I laughed without a care in the world.
The movie screening is long over.
Since the records of my being scolded resound in my head,
If possible, don’t go too far away.
If you can, don’t make it hurt.
Don’t, don’t worry about me. Just let me go.
Shut your eyes tight against the discord between us.
Don’t, don’t reward me. Just talk to me.
Hold eye contact with me through the window.
In a nook of a theater that darkened with corruption,
I shouldn’t have been sleeping, and yet I sleep anyway.
It wasn’t the arabesque that I touched.
The streets lit up like someone set them on fire.
If that indifferent girl held up an umbrella for me,
It’d be so straightforward that I’d count it as a reward.
I covered the ring on my left hand with my right
And pretended to have lost my bearings.
Don’t, don’t look for me. If a distance forms
When you realize I’ve disappeared before you knew it,
Don’t, don’t forgive me. I want to make it so
You shouldn’t be sad at all, but just at the beginning.
Don’t, don’t worry about me. Just let me go.
Shut your eyes tight against the discord between us.
Don’t, don’t reward me. Just talk to me.
Hold eye contact with me through the window.
Don’t, don’t fall asleep. Just put it into words.
Narrow your eyes in the face of that blazing light.
Don’t, don’t laugh at me. Let the obsession
That’s bloomed within you swallow me whole.
