Sleeping Thoughts

Twisted, tangled thoughts
Coiling about forever, chains lifelessly rusted
"Time heals all wounds" is a lie
I remembered the way to lock in and seal emotion

If it's a thought that doesn't reach, even if I embrace it, it will just be able to bewilder
If it chills and dries, it will sink into the past
If it's a memory that's been grieving, I shouldn't mind, even if I forget it
Sleep, as if drowned, at the bottom of the deep ocean

(My pain of that day has gone somewhere)

The sweet wish, I hide and put to sleep
Clad in stillness, I merely flow

The thoughts I shut in
Will someday be washed away by time. I'm losing sight of the hiding place
The past I pursued is far off
Locking even emotions, the me that lost myself

Even if I embrace even the thoughts I want to stop, they'll spill over and fall
Just an empty thirst will remain
That the tears I shed were an irreplacable treasure,
I noticed that because I lost them. What an irony

(My smile from that day, as well, has gone somewhere)

The shards of sweet thoughts, I take to my breast
And simply gaze at the noisy town

At least, if I open my window
I should be able to see the shadow that can sleep

If I wake, can I regain it?

If I open
the window
I wonder if it will reach
even here
Light...
