The Shadow’s Kiss
I gaze upon a blind world.
The chirping of birds,
The stretching of a cat,
The dancing of blades of grass.
I gaze no longer.
Even if I want to see, nothing is seen.
In the end, everyone has left.
Leaving behind you, whom I trusted,
I take a drag of a cigarette.
Behind my back,
A shadow knocks.
"Do you know why?"
"You never kissed me!"
"You merely gazed at me."
