“Because,
Although, But,
I
Love You”
I
love you,
like
a mystic demon
dances
on the silky blood
I
love you,
like
a firefly
sinks
to the moonlight river
Because
I love you,
I'm
locked in the Hell
Because
I love you,
I
can't help swimming
in
burning fire
Although
I love you,
the
ache of my skin
continues
to burn
Although
I love you,
the
paralysis of my heart
doesn't
vanish
But
I love you,
like
a phantom
plays
melodies of Debussy
But
I love you,
like
the oath to future
is
broken
Venturing
to touch
the
point of a broken glass
It
was my life
Venturing
to cut my finger
and
confirming that I'm alive
It
was my life
Gazing
at the red evidence
from
my finger
and
looking up at
the
opposite blue sky
It
was my life
Comparing
the colour of the sunset
with
my blood
and
competing for red
It
was my life
Going
to the end
again
and again
It
was my life
