Heart, we will forget him!You and I, to-night!You may forget the warmth he gave,I will forget the light.When you have done, pray tell me,That I may straight begin!Haste! lest while you’re lagging,I remember him!Heart, It hurts so much!You and I ― can we ever overcome this pain of impact? ―I loathe everything now,And I can’t believe in anything anymore!I hold no grudge or ill will against you,But why? Why? Why?I can never offer you forgiveness or mercy.If only I could shake off this freezing rage and suppressed sorrow like mere dust……
