Love in Dystopia

No.
I felt nothing
when I said your name

No.
I don’t want to see you
Stop looking my way

Drink away this day, again
Kill away the pain
This life, please end

I can’t feel anything
I think I forgot your name
Please go far away from here

As far as you possibly can.

Drink away this day, again
Kill away this life, please end
