saken de mo

Chou by Amano Tsukiko
Translation by Jun





deep underground, i kept digging a hole
without knowing where it would lead






with a soil-dampened scope in one hand
I searched for your arm





while scraping together patchwork happiness and sowing it





I was crushed by your strength





burn on
burn on





the scars left by my palms that will not fade





rip apart the red-stained cloud-rift with shredded wings





find the me who beats my wings so well





the eternity i drew, confined in my coccoon
will probably bud and blossom somewhere





morning will bring back the dark night before long
and steal my eyes away





moonlight
on you fitting against you and entangling clumsily





i believed could become where you are





burn out
burn out





the place of our promise we will never return to





tear across the black-stained earth with a shredded agony





find the me who beats my wings so well





if i can't hear you even if you scream
i want you to destroy me with those hands





while I can still call me "I"





your arms that hold me back turn into gentle dust





i merely quietly
looked up at the sky





burn on
burn on





the scars left by my palms that will not fade





rip apart the red-stained cloud-rift with shredded wings





burn out
burn out





the place of our promise we will never return to





find the me who beats my wings so well
