Randomness Inside My Head

2021년 10월 21일의 숙제이었습니다. Bonus: cute sound by my youngest baby 😄.

Midnight conversations, heart-to-heart

Confessions, stories from the past,

Hopes for the future are what bind us,

Unite us, keep us jointly all this time.

But you came to me the day after, with

Flowers and chocolate and down on

Two knees, begging me for another chance.

I knew that I was ruining my life,

But I let you coming back to me.

Then you stood there with your arms open,

Taking me into them as soon as I

Ran and held you like nothing else mattered.

How can I step out of the front door

And drive to the jungle of uncertainties,

A battlefield of being healthy or slightly

Sick or on the verge of dying?

So, I shake my head and decline

Your most likely hastily made

Suggestion, or perhaps an impulse

To seek companion to face the world

Outside because you are also

Shaking with fear for the virus,

But you’re also dying with boredom

Of staying inside for too long.

Do you know that it is not impossible

For you to connect and disconnect,

Appear and disappear,

Be availabe and unavailable,

With, from, and for people whose names are

On your contact list, lining up neatly,

Not wanting to make any unnecessary ruckus?

You and I were like compatible meals,

Like medium-rare steak and red wine,

Then one of us got spoiled and had

No other choice but to be discarded,

To be thrown into trash can, like

Every other unwanted and unloved being.

You wanted to be the last piece

Standing, perfectly unmarred by ugly

History of dating and relationship

Misjudgement and failure.

If one boy is too fat and the

Other is too bony, if one girl’s hair

Is straight and other’s is curly,

If all those shapes are beyond what

We can and must control

Then who are we to scream out

Loud: "Damned you all”?

We are three people bound with

Blood and love and loyalty

We pledge to one another

Until the end of time.

We are three spirits roaming

freely and independently, sometimes

side by side or other times

Contentedly far and away.

And it is fine, it

Is alright, it is natural.
