孤单

Loneliness

我穿越城市的巨流，让世界的灯火和喧闹在背后
让那所房子空洞，在日暮时黯淡成一个时光的囚牢
黑暗里有一头兽潜伏着，在墙壁的角落
我没有遗忘，它安静如影子，只说简单的话语

我不曾歌颂春天的霪雨和熏风，只纪录了我的败亡
怀疑一切的人和事物让思想纠结为诗篇
身体却逐渐空洞，直至那头兽足以安居于此
而我的孤单有了温暖，如夜色中一盏灯

当生命成全了理想的世界，我便归来
那时落叶如雨，秋色稠密
我叩响的那些门后，光阴依旧
那头兽仍在，它仍说着简单的话语，爱你
			

I wade through the surging torrents of the city, leaving behind me lights and cacophonies of this world
And an empty house that as night falls darkens into a prison cell of time
In the dark lurks a beast awaiting, in the corner of the wall
I know it's there, quiet as a shadow, speaking only monosyllabic words

I rarely sing the long rain or the soothing breeze of spring, noting instead my own decay
Throwing into question all that I see and encounter, my thoughts convoluted into poetry
And yet my body slowly drains empty, until there's space for the beast to settle comfortably in
And my loneliness to acquire warmth, like a lamp in the surrounding darkness

I shall return when life fulfills the requirements of a utopian world
When leaves fall like rain, amidst thick and dense colors of autumn
Behind those doors that I tap on, time draws on as usual
The beast is still there, uttering monosyllabic words: je t'aime
