Don't ask me.

Yes, I'm sad,

But don't ask, please.

Look out the window

This September Eve.

There I sit

Under a tree.


There is the cool

Autumn evening breeze.

It plays with my hairs

And the only leaf,

Pale, ready to fall.

There, it's set free.

Dancing to its death,

It lands softly.


Now look at my face,

Sad as it could be.

Lost the shine,

My eyes, watery.

My heart you'll find

In piece but at peace.


Leafless and lifeless,

You see? Similarity.

Now you may know,

But don't ask me.

Yes, I'm sad,

But don't ask, please.


You cut the wings

Of a bird, once free.

Then you ask, "Why,

Not flying?" easily.

No worth there,

No worth, obviously.
