Sleeping Thoughts

Twisted, tangled thoughts

Coiling about forever, chains lifelessly rusted

"Time heals all wounds" is a lie

I remembered the way to lock in and seal emotion

If it's a thought that doesn't reach, even if I embrace it, it will just be able to bewilder

If it chills and dries, it will sink into the past

If it's a memory that's been grieving, I shouldn't mind, even if I forget it

Sleep, as if drowned, at the bottom of the deep ocean

(My pain of that day has gone somewhere)

The sweet wish, I hide and put to sleep

Clad in stillness, I merely flow

The thoughts I shut in

Will someday be washed away by time. I'm losing sight of the hiding place

The past I pursued is far off

Locking even emotions, the me that lost myself

Even if I embrace even the thoughts I want to stop, they'll spill over and fall

Just an empty thirst will remain

That the tears I shed were an irreplacable treasure,

I noticed that because I lost them. What an irony

(My smile from that day, as well, has gone somewhere)

The shards of sweet thoughts, I take to my breast

And simply gaze at the noisy town

At least, if I open my window

I should be able to see the shadow that can sleep

If I wake, can I regain it?

If I open

the window

I wonder if it will reach

even here

Light...
