A life lived puny and miserably

Transparent Answer

During all of these fleeting days
Just like any other day
Drifting alone in the same old seat as always
 
'Well then how about you?'
As if attempting again
The textbook without numbers said something meaningless
 
If you're asking about my results
Well, they could be better
Picking up a recycled paper with a perfect score 100
 
In the seat right next to me
There smiling sheepishly
Was you, the one with a low grade sitting on the desk
 
Outside the window, there's nothing I wish for
Because the answer immediately arrives
'Well then doesn't that just get boring?'
You always seemed like you had fun
 
Don't touch the heart that wants no more than to disappear
Today it can't be found anywhere on Earth
The alarm starts to ring in my head
The alone me says 'You're a cold and callous fool'
 
Even if a miracle answer appeared in front of me
I would know the answer in a heartbeat anyway
 
'If I died right now then
someone would just replace me'
Muttering things like that, isn't it just silly?
 
Those fleeting days continue to drift on by repeating
I feel uncomfortable whenever you're absent
 
Well anyway, the test will be returned tomorrow
I wonder if my score will ever change
 
During all of these fleeting days
Just like any other day
Something
May have already gone completely wrong
 
The colour of your hair
The smile on your face
Some people might not remember them anymore
 
'The seat by the window feels empty
What could it be that's reflected from there?'
I tried to get to know you
But in the end I didn't know a thing at all
 
If I could have just understood you even a little
These fleeting days could've continued forever
 
By the time you stopped the alarm ringing in my head
I couldn't see your tree in the forest of problems
 
She couldn't take having a heart that wanted to disappear
How many times was it hidden behind a smile?
Your smile that jumped from the roof and died from flying right out the window
 
I will never forget it, not even tomorrow
 

Heat Haze Daze

August 15th at about 12 past noon
The weather was nice
In the sunlight so bright its enough to make me ill
And because I had nothing to do I was talking nonsense with you
 
'Well, I kinda hate the summertime' As you pet a cat
You muttered such a daring thing right under your breath
Ah, As the cat ran away you tried to chase after it
Jumping right in front of a traffic light that changed to red!
 
Jumping out and running over you, that truck heard a scream and cry as it went by
The colour of the blood splatter mixing with the smell of you was choking me
Is this some sort of lie? The heat is mocking me 'What you see isn't a lie!'
 
The dazzling light blue summer sky and the stirring whistling cicada cries I fall into a deep sleep
 
I opened my eyes to the hand of a clock resounding through my bed
What time is it now?
August 14th pointing past 12 am
And the annoying sound of the cicadas still sing loudly in my head
 
But hey, isn't it a little strange?
Because I remember last night I had a dream we were at this park
'I think we should go home now' But the moment I stepped off the path
Everyone around us was looking up with open mouths
 
An iron pillar fell down and pieced you straight through
The sound of screaming cries and wind chimes rang through the trees and the sky
It seems like the heat is mocking me 'What you see is not a dream!'
As my vision faded away I swear I could see your face smiling
 
No matter how many times the world is dazzling the heat just mocks and steals me away
This has been happening for the past ten years, my mind noticed it long ago
But if it's such a frequent story then surely there must be an end
Beyond those repeating summer days
 
I jumped out and pushed you aside so the truck hit me instead of you
The colour of blood splatter diffuses the jarring reflections on your eyes and body
The heat simply says 'What a sorry sight' as it laughs at me
Surely this frequent summer day
Can finally end here
 
A girl wakes up on a bed on August 14th
Repeating the same
'Guess I failed again,' she said all alone with a cat cradled in her arms
