HEARTS AND SCISSORS
Maiko:
“A lit candle in the dark,
Flickering in the winds.
I kept hoping for the wind to calm,
But off you blew it.
Uh, my warm heart.
Cutting through the arteries of our friendship,
…were the scissors of your selfishness.”
Jofu:
“Yes, Betrayal was a bitter fruit,
Its garden, cautious to plant,
Now the scissors have turned on me,
Cutting through our happy memories.
Forgive yourself,
as much as you can,
Our minds can be a little hard on ourselves at times…
forgive yourself for trusting me
Us:
“Our friendship is a fallen apple, rolling from the garden.
Reality has set in, … the ‘Hearts and Scissors’ of it all.
I’m not strong enough to face it!
Good ‘mourning’.
I’m turning.
