A Palinode In Between

“Do not die today”
-Was my wish for you then, when you showed much care-
I regret when I wished you die in “neveruary”,
I need you no more to grow,
without you, my life is like a rainbow.

You made everyday look like fourteenth February.
Until you emptied your love stream,
and left me alone in my dream.

There’re unused painkillers in my art,
I’ll use them to mend the scars in my heart,
I need not, your bitter honey and sting.
Alone, I’ll listen to the birds sing,
don’t brainwash me with a kiss,
I no longer need you, Miss.
