Hell
Paradise
"This place is a Paradise
Only if you're here."
I live here.
I live in Paradise.
Paradise, some say,
Is glory.
Is everything
You would ever wish,
and everything you would ever want.
But those some,
they haven't been here.
They
haven't
been
to Paradise.
I live in Paradise.
I love, and I fell,
and I fell into Paradise.
I fell into Paradise with
the one I love.
Sungjong,
his name is.
Myungsoo,
my name is.
We were so in love,
and so we survived.
We survived in Paradise.
But I slipped.
I slipped,
my foot caught in the threads,
and I dragged him with me,
the one I love.
And now we hang, suspended.
We hang, the dark pit before us,
below us,
behind us,
And he says to me,
he says
I
wish
I
wanted
to
live.
He says,
I
wish
I
wanted
to
live
with
you.
And I say,
Please
don't
let
me
die.
I say,
Please
don't
let
us
die.
But
I slipped,
and it is my fault.
This
is my fault.
And he is looking,
he is looking at me with those eyes
those eyes that made me fall
to Paradise.
And I see
I see something that wasn't there before.
I see no hope.
I see no bright.
I see no light.
I see nothing of the one I fell into Paradise
with.
I only see anger,
and I only see rage,
I only see power that he is making from powerlessness, that he is stealing
from me
And I don't want to fall,
I don't want to die.
I don't want the one I fell with to die because I slipped.
I.
Me.
Mine.
It is a fault of mine,
that I have clumsy feet.
It is a fault of mine that gave me a slip.
It is a fault of
mine
that left us here, suspended.
And I am calm,
sad,
hopeless,
and we are stuck, here in Paradise.
Paradise.
And he looks at me,
and he says,
I
am
sorry.
He says,
I
fell
with
you
He says,
But
we
fell
too
far
and
we
are
dangling.
He says,
I
fell
to
Paradise
with
you.
He says,
I
am
sorry.
And
he lets a tear fall
And
he lets me catch it
And
he draws a line across a thread
And then
I fall
And
as I do,
I think;
Maybe,
maybe,
Paradise,
is more like hell.
