Affairs not having been fulfilled
And getting dusty put aside
Once again
I am checking the letters
Absent-mindedly and
Wondering to whom
To sent them
I am certain that it is impossible
To revive you,
Yet I am trying on the day anew
It has been given me to go on,
I forget just why.
And i go on living
Thinking about you, but I am
Unable to relive your grief.
Once again
My tears are stuck in my throat
My hopes remain unrealized…
—————
How painful!
I am sorry, dear mom,
It hurts you more,
«He is all right» «Don’t be selfish!»
He hasn’t assembled the puzzle,
So you should do it.
I am going from one extreme to the other
Uselessly I am hanging about.
Oh, daddy,
I am to weak
To keep your flag flying.
