I Can'T Give Your Life a Meaning If Mine Is Meaningless
Last week you broke the silence
With fury and vigour
you shouted on the line
"I am weary of this trek"
"The climb is far too steep for me"
"It is ever slippery"
"And you in the city .. this is really wild"
"All this is meaningless"
Now there is an endless ring in my head
because you pressed the red button
We cant talk any more
We cant laugh together
My smile can no longer trigger a tremour in
your voice on the other end
You cut the link
Solid fondness and curiosity of future
Is grim and dead now
You don't care for explanations
It is not what you need
I know you need a pink heart
that peels off like petals of a flower
revealing tenderness everyday
and love every day
and sweetness everyday
and warmth everyday
Peeling off to give more
meaning to your life
Well I tried and in this quest
We lost touch
because I lost myself
after I lost my petals in a wild dance with you
you we're as vigorous as a pig
before I knew it, all petals were gone
filaments withered
the stamen crashed
I can no longer feed your sweet style,
the life you desire everyday
It is a disaster I know
But I must admit that our journey
has ended
I can't give you love
and tenderness
and sweetness
and warmth
I cant give your life a meaning
if mine is meaningless
