If Only

entry picture

afraid of heart hugging fragments of day
cloud overflowing abyss
I hope to pursue a beautiful line of promise
sad soul ends in resignation

the news frame passed without meaning
like a clown burst into laughter
music box presents love songs
my singing feels blandly hoarse

a packet of rice smiled sweetly
feels reluctant to touch it
thirst in the cynical word hole
immersed in anger didn't want to deter

hundreds of short messages present sadly
blurry eyes make sure to be a sign
my answer was carried by the wind
if my longing embraced me warmly
