Songs on a Scarlet Thread

Ah, if stars are songs fleeting in the bursting wind…

This night only dims on a black hair strand.

To sleep ending with the quiet feeling of peace,

Entwined in its lengthy scarlet thread, only Fate understands.

Of this sensitive heart that went numb and fell

To the abyss being used as one's somber prison.

With the sky that gives off shadows and is always depressed,

Let's whisper "death" and retreat in some fanciful sensation.

Ah, this is what I call, a "beautiful and cruel" world.

All of this made up of fruitful groans and mournful cries;

However, of all the things to release me from this lifeless form –

In the scarlet thread hanging above me, I finally see it in my eyes…

The breeze that gives flight to the scarlet string of destiny,

Soaring high, singing the song of a beautiful melody.


A/N- This was made for my Literature subject last year. This poem was inspired by the ED, "Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai" and Mikasa's childhood to make it clear. Enjoy and review!
