Neglect
Do not repay my love with neglect.
You know, don’t you? Neglect turns a person into a puppet.
Feelings die, restlessness fades away.
After that, whether you stay or leave,
none of it will leave a mark on my heart.
What One Deserves
Let every tender heart be touched by gentle hands,
let the lover’s nose be intoxicated by the fragrance of the beloved’s hair,
or let the beloved’s lips be touched by the lips of the lover.
You Are a Flower, I Am a Mistake
Don’t think too much about me,
I know how to patch up torn shirts and keep going.
And this is life,
no matter how broken it gets, as long as I breathe, I’ll carry on.
You are a flower, adorn your world with flowers.
I am a mistake, flowers don’t care about mistakes.
Entangled
I didn’t really need to love you,
yet I loved you anyway.
But I desperately needed to have you,
you could say it was inevitable,
and still, I never got you.
See how easily the unnecessary things happen,
while the inevitable ones get stuck.
Identity
Either value me, or make your neglect clear.
Love cannot live in vagueness and uncertainty.
Either introduce me as yours, or say you don’t know me.
But don’t answer with “I don’t know”
when asked who I am to you.
