Convalescence

(Originally In English)

While I am struggling between life and death
In a small hospital room,
You celebrate joyfully the deliberate union in a hotel suite!
At the cost of my agony.
Now, the true face of so-called friendship emerged, finally!

 So much for the romance.
Talk about real love!
Now, face to face with actuality
Every word seems empty!
When it's really happening
Love amounts to nothing.
Ha ha! To laugh or to cry
The pain is excruciating!

Seems like the whole world falls apart,
Seems like I never know God.
Oh -- Delicious is this thing called life!
Bitter, sweet, sour, agony, any taste you like --

Just savour whatever it is,
In tears or in sweat,
In the blood or in raw pain.
That's what the theologian explains
To you in amount of books that can build thousands pyramids.

But it is useless,
To me,
To anybody.
When they have this special pain in the heart.
