Singularity

Singularity

A sound of something breathing…

I awake from sleep.

A sound full of unfamiliarity…

I try to cover my ears but can’t go to sleep.

The pain in my throat gets worse.

I try to cover it, but I don’t have a voice.

Today, I hear that sound again.

It’s ringing again, that sound.

Another crack forms on this frozen lake.

I threw myself into the lake… I buried my voice for you.

Over the winter lake, I was thrown there’s a thick layer of ice.

Even in my momentary dream,

The illusions that torture me are still the same.

Have I lost myself, or have I gained you?

I suddenly run to the lake… there’s my face in it.

Please, don’t say anything.

I reach my hand out to cover the mouth,

But in the end, spring will come someday.

The ice will melt and flow away.

Tell me, even if my voice is fake,

Should I have not thrown myself away?

Tell me, even if this pain is fake,

What was I supposed to do back then?
