falling day

the city full of cries
lifts my pains towards the sky
making places of the past more pleasant
but it was too much to carry
after all it was just because of a single mistake
a misguided action that crumpled everything
fooling everything
making love unrealistic as what it is supposed to be
crushing every heart in this place
flashing hte unacceptable acts
whatever it may cause
on the celebration of illusions of nonsense
that overrun the life of people
now, everybody suffers
nothing to do with it except acceptance
and let time rules
in this world i was born
seeing the real rubbishness and coveting
things that are really uncontrollable
no matter how hard it is to hold on to goodness
still inperfection rules
death is all over
decomposing from one place to another
rotten but still you can feel the blackness of it
now, i hold on
trying to think about tomorrow's action
no matter how hard i cry
still there will be no tomorrow for me
because i am one of the rotten men,
hopelessly grasping for the breath
a second from now
i'll be in the next life
a life that is uncertain
so, goodbye to my old body
and let my soul live through time
