The Future…is the past…
By: Juki
A man who had lost the means of tongue.
Where did we go wrong?
A mystery that may have eased some hearts if it remained unsolved.
When did we go wrong?
A life so lustfully taken, forsook.
Why did we go wrong?
A chance deprived, a hopeful heart erased.
Who did we wrong?
A fate so undeserving, why should he be aware?
What did we do wrong?
If he had never seen…what he could've had.
Or knew he had been deprived.
If I had never known.
Callous heart that might've grown.
I thought…no one would understand…
I thought…I would be the only one…
What happened? Was it not enough, raping destiny?
That I believe I deserved…the isolation of what I could be. A King.
Was it not enough through me?
That it must replay like a broken record?
He returned with a hopeful heart…in hopes to salvage what he had never known.
Through youthful eyes, he could never forget what he should've had.
Is it fair then…to be taunted in this way? To come here and believe it would save his soul.
Is it right then…to let him depart back to where he should be saved?
What is justice anyway?
Is it wrong then…to stop him from returning to the land of forsakenness?
Is it unfair then…to be oblivious to deprivation? To be better off not knowing?
Veteran eyes, I can never forgive what I could've saved.
He departed with more hope than before…a hope that it had changed something.
Perhaps it should end soon, this repetitive discord.
That insatiable thirst for forlornness…it is never enough.
That no one should deserve…the isolation of what one could be…A Prince.
Something happened. It could not be quenched.
I know now…I'm not the only one…
I wished no one would ever understand…this injustice that I have faced…
It has now…survived through me…and hereditarily passed down…to a son I did not have, but could've had, would've had, would love to have…
It was a forbidden wish of inevitability.
If he had never seen…he may have not shed a tear.
Or be able to know…to lose someone he loved…and it felt the same…this indifference.
Give him a choice…please?
Who is to be blamed?
History that should never be forgotten.
What is to be blamed?
History that should change our destinies.
When should we blame?
History that should never be written.
Where should we go from here?
This is an illusion…
Why…then…should I cry?
For a son I never had?
