      when you hurried out, it was as if the
      world has gone berserk, agitated by
      far to the extremity of losing
      you. I was indignated, fumbling and
      falling in trivial pursuit of the life
      that is vehemently mine all along.

      a dream that easily shatters upon
      my waking and finding myself alone?

      in spite of a rush of malignant tears
      that tend to put the lighter side away?
      I may not lose you, but I can't suffer
      any diff'rence between the two of us.
