Affection for You
It was gleaming
with the gaze
Affection is dumb
Affection is deaf
Like a speaker it did not speak about
the matter
like a listener it did not listen to
Till the moment of parting
it kept waiting in the eyes
In the thick green
of the desolate woods
A tune is ringing faintly
Gazing at the eyes
I want to see
Is it still alive
Oh dear
No way, no way
Cleaving the heart
comes out
a curious sigh
In the teary gaze
is it still alive
