Life, My Friend
I kissed--
the pains. For years, I sought
the ease of stopping
this life. And today, I’ve had my
moment in the shade of spring spell,
when no one deeply press me in;
at last, I could now see
the other world, yet before
you jump to conclusion
the anger’s gone and will not lead me
to where I wanted to be. I must take--
this chance to know that I’m loved. See,
the love I always felt with you dares me
to meet the eyes of morrow. Why can’t
you do the same? Tell me, do you need
extra smoke rings to dance with?
