"Sakura"

that painted smile on your face
Sways waveringly in the moonlight
I cant see the rays of that morning
not through those curtains of blood.. .

Since when that icon named eternity
has become a legend of past?
Lost in the streets, people pass me by
Again, they flow like time

And that enigma named fate
like a stream, seep through the sky
you and me who are lost in this world
"Sakura...." like those falling blossoms

Your fallen figure lies
hunched against that cold asphalt
you whisper sweet nothings
those words fall flittingly

That legend of the past...
if there hadn't been a frozen moment,
even if it has been disintegrating with time
"Sakura..." Your eyes look up tiredly 

Like those falling blossoms
every moment which passes
the curtains of blood encage my mind
like those falling blossoms
every single glass memory
they shatter like your smile. ..

"Sakura" those words
they disappear into the morning. ..

Like those falling blossoms
your warmth seeps through the darkness
no matter what promise has been made
Like those falling blossoms
fate's heavy chains hold us tight
though the shards hit the floor.. .

"Sakura".. .
