I CRY WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF

when the lights are off in the faraway harbors

my hands sink in the blood pit

humans are exiled, and humans die

as the faraway countries are engulfed by the bloodshed

I sit down and cry silently

 

when the lights are off in the faraway harbors

I cry for the prostitute women

on an unsaddled horse

I enter dreams, and I exit from dreams

I commit suicide thousand times

I cry for every letter I receive

 

when the lights are off in the faraway harbors

I do remember the banned flags

I do remember lovers and beaten values

the leftover ashes from the books

thousands of fragmented faces on the albums

then I cry again and again and again

 

when the humans die in the faraway harbors

I cry for my lover, I cry for my friends

there is blood all over my face, I get stabbed in the eye

when the lights are off in the faraway harbors

I can’t figure it out where it originates but sadness still comes over
