Drunken Song

I gaze, yet do not understand. What does this mean? Is this breath a pause? Speechless. The scene is cut short, bewilderment banished. Stillness, a mirror. A clever smile, a flirtatious smile. A pause from time to time? Feelings are not as they were, yet the thought cannot be cast aside. How can I look toward dusk and seek the dawn? The setting sun is about to sink in the west, and I too am swept along. A clever smile, a flirtatious smile, I offer you this pause. The day falls with a cry, pain like a rain of needles. Bowing my head, whose whispered words do I hear? Lowering my gaze, whose startled chime do I await? Who knows my heart is like this? Do you understand? Do you laugh? Words are hollow. My smile has faded. Are you still waiting?
