"Truth Behind the Casket"
Title: Truth Behind the Casket

Comment: I was listening to Okuribi by the GazettE (and still am) and it inspired this poem~ and translations to any Japanese in this poem are at the bottom~
Body as limp as death,
Something not at all a lie,
Lowered into the wooden box.
Half of the top open, to show
The cold features of his face,
To show the deathly pale skin to everyone around him.
All that is seen is black.
Men dressed in black.
Women dressed in black.
Even the children dressed in black.
He will sure be missed.
The closest to him, adding to their attire,
White gloves to carry him in the wooden box.
That same wooden box lowered into the cold ground.
The love being spilt by their tears.
The memories to be shared in his memory.
The sorrow, the laughs, the hard times, all will emerge.
For he shall not be forgotten.
I am one of those people.
I will not forget.忘れない。。。
The love I had for you, in more ways
Then just one, you feeling the same for me…
Then why did you do this?
I hold the knife that you did.
It is still stained with your blood.
I know better than the others, though,
And I know you wouldn’t do this to yourself.
So who did? Truthをおしえて。。。
Another body, limp as death.
This time being lowered into a less formal
Cardboard box. The fernus is hot, deathly hot.
死のようなさむうさは。。。温かい。もっと温かい。。。
Men with no mercy push his limp body in.
It burns. 神よ、それがもえる。
Another to not be forgotten.
I will never forget. 忘れない。。。
The friendship we had, in that way did I love.
The fights, those pathetic fights
Now, instead of laughing about them,
泣きます。泣きます。
Everyone around me, slowly slipping away.
かれらをけっして忘れないだろう。けっして。。。
When the one I joke with, the one I see everyday
The one that comforts me, he is the one
That caused the greif. The never ending grief.
どうして？どうして？どうして。。。？
TRANSLATIONS:
忘れない。。。-I will not forget...
Truthをおしえて。。。 -Tell me the truth...
死のようなさむうさは。。。温かい。もっと温かい。。。 -Cold unlike death... warm. very warm...
神よ、それがもえる。 -Oh God, it burns
泣きます。泣きます。 -I will cry. I will cry.
かれらをけっして忘れないだろう。けっして。。。 -they will never be forgotten. never...
どうして？どうして？どうして。。。？ -Why? Why? Why...?
