Watashi

Instead of killing that person
Let’s do something more fun
Devouring sadness and despair

Instead of hitting that person
Let’s just cuddle up together
Holding on so our lips don’t part

His town is beautiful and cold
The kids are crying rivers
What’s this heartbeat for?
The bugs have disappeared

Here I am, stuck in this place
While hopes are left in disbelief
Is dying really all there is?
My throat is dry

Let’s pull this person close
And do something more fun
Waving our hands so they don’t slip away
