myOtaku.com: One Word

Like a porcelain doll.



Curly hair, tidy clothes

and pretty eyes, pale face

covering a fragile thing

with no name.

Silent, doesn't argue

but won't play nor laugh either.

Noise of something breaking.

What is it?

It's very much like me

though it's something people can't see.

No cries, no tears

just an empty smile that never falters.

What does it look like from the inside?

It's a porcelain doll

with a broken heart and a shattered face.


In 5 ways

In 5 ways

I can say thank you

I love you and goodbye.

Kiitos. Minä rakastan sinua. Hyvästi.

[Finnish sounds hard, with words sharp like knives.]

Tack. Jag älskar dig. Farväl.

[Swedish is like spears: either sharp or dull. When it hits the right place it'll hurt anyway.]

Danke. Ich liebe dich. Auf Wiedersehen.

[German is soft words with sometimes very bitter meaning.]

Merci. Je t'aime. Au revoir.

[French is spoken quickly, so that you won't understand the meaning behind the words or sometimes you can't make them out at all.]

But now they're all the same

the kind and loving phrases

now bitter and pained.


Anteeksi

I didn't plan it

I didn't mean it

but still I hurt people

without even seeing

in how much pain they are

and how they don't want to hear from me.

So to put it simple

anteeksi

entschuldigung

I'm sorry.

Förlåt mig

forgive me

excusez-moi

I'm still so sorry.

But asking to be forgiven is far easier than forgiving.
