The Last Rhyme

Tormented, screeching at my nadir
My soul has crumbled now that you are not here
Where is your genuine warmth, dear?
Nor your velvet voice I can hear

This emptiness strangles my very life, helplessly suffocating
This loneliness rends it into millions, mindlessly floating
Can I still impart unalloyed happiness?
Or would it be transmuted into unutterable sadness?

Please gaze at me one more time
And hearken to this last rhyme
If you think it is merely a dime
Just make that parting chime

The creation of this poem was inspired by Kai Bu Liao Kou (開不了口) by Jay Chou.
