[English] Poem reflection of The Metaphor
I can't spare myself from the guilt and the grief
What all these years meant for me
Was thrown away by me
I couldn't believe that I was afraid to stop their hurtful ways
Behind the duo tang I hid
But never a word I said
She was a durian
People would just look and turn away
But when you crack it open, you can see the essence hidden inside.
Her words like a fire lit my tender ember
But I didn't choose to save her
I betrayed her, I condemned her
Until I realized my heart was also hurt
I sat down and wrote a metaphor
So I know how I really loved her
Her teachings flowed through my words
For though she is gone, I will always remember
