Cruel Flavor

You broke their hearts and then you laughed
Never understood you, from day one to the last
You wanted love without returning the favor
If beautiful, you still give off a cruel flavor
Keep arguing about things that don't matter
Demanding things until your friends scatter
In the end, you'll not find yourself satisfied
You aren't worth the tears people have cried
Wrap more barbed wire, protect yourself
Because only you and the traitors left











“Amid the moon and the stars, amid the clouds of the night, 
amid the hills which bordered on the sky with their magnificent
silhouette of pointed cedars, amid the speckled patches of the 
moon, amid the temple buildings that emerged sparkling white 
out of the surrounding darkness - amid all this, I was intoxicated 
by the pellucid beauty of Uiko's treachery.”  Yukio Mishima
