The Daydream's Nightmare, 2023

Crumpled paper of sad ending,
and the smoke I breathe in.
I left the place without you---
for I can no longer endure
the bruises to be next to you.

Old guitar and cards,
withered roses on the graveyard.
The man in my dreams is now gone,
the knight who supposed to protect me
is pointing me dagger and gun.
Bitter twisted game, bloody sword and flame.
In every step I take, my smile comes out fake.

I gave you a place in my castle,
but all you gave me was a curse.
Give me my innocence back, it was mine first. 
I made you my hometown; my daydream.
But the moment I opened my eyes,
I realized it wasn't really a daydream.
It was a nightmare.
