Why can't I be happy for her?

An echo from a forgotten corner

Why can't I be happy for her?

She just crossed an ocean to find me

I burnt her to embers before me

Why can't I be happy for her?

Her tears did no good to my cruelty

I feel somehow I myself could have blinded me

Why can't I be happy for her?

She hasn't come to claim a lost brother

I wouldn't be her forlorn lover either

Why can't I be happy for her?

I asked myself this question

The answer is distorted and latent in reflection

Why can't I be happy for her?

No, not this mirror.

Find some peace in slumber
