VOICES 1/7

People are screaming inside their hearts.
Below is based on what I heard, what I saw through media, and what I felt.
Voices of people in different circumstances would help you to feel and think about March 11, 2011.
(I am sorry, if any of expressions made you uncomfortable.)

you are not here anymore
your smile, your voice, your smell
the more i loved you,
the deeper my sorrow is

you could be here if i didn’t
if i didn’t let go your hands
if i had youth and power
why did i let go your hands

you are somewhere on the earth
in the dark, in the cold
i want to see you so much
at least a sign of you

you were smiling in the morning
just shining without fear
i could be your guardian
why i wasn’t with you at the time

you have no light in your eyes
with scratches, without shoes
i couldn’t get flowers for you
forgive me until i can get a chance

i am crying without tears
holding my head up as people do
can i get some space
wish i could let my tears flow
