“Why are you so obsessed?

It’s just love — why suffer that much?”



A patient

who just had a stroke.

What do you expect them to say

but not being able to move?



I tried to feel sorry

to understand

the first time

you told me about her —

your loyal, broken

love story.



You waited for her
at the same old bus stop,

for hours,

cried under the rain.



While I cried over love

Just a few times

You called it cheap,

called it needy

That I can’t give up

sticking to it.



Guess you’ve never been dumb

for love.

Guess you never devoted

your whole heart to it.



Once in a decade

You may never fall for it
I’m not outstanding

Not your someone out there

I’m just part of the crowd

Sharing the pain

You have never felt



You gave me hope

To satisfy yourself

not your heart or soul

but your lower parts



So what the hell do you know?
