mihashi ren &/ haruna motoki or mihashi ren/abe takaya; oofuri

In Mandarin the word ren,
meaning endure, is written
knife over heart.
Here they say:
Why are you so quiet?
Why are you so soft?
Why are you so calm?
Do not mistake my silence
for subservience.
The knife of the heart
is held between my teeth.
