call

If I were to disappear
From before your eyes,
Would you call out my name and try to find me?

Even if this body fell apart--
And if you didn’t run away--
Would you continually cry over me?

Please realize
That at this point
Justice and reality won’t do any good--
Show me your agitation.

Because despite whatever
Pathetic lies you have lined up,
If you did it right now,
I would cling to you.

Because if I were to leave,
I can’t imagine that you could tell me
That you would leave with me.

Please…say something.

The emptiness trickles,
It colors the time—
If only you could also realize this somehow.

The sound of our rock-bottom days
Crumbling away—
If only you could also hear this somehow.

Even your kind face
Only devours and shreds me
And I don’t want to look at you
Any more.

For if someday
You couldn’t find me,
I can’t imagine
That you would become frantic.

Please…say something.

Because if I were to leave,
I can’t imagine that you could tell me
That you would leave with me.

Please…say something.
