Four Simple Words

Do you trust me?
That is a rather difficult question to answer
While I would love to answer yes confidently
I realized that wouldn't be wise of me
You and I… have an unique past
Because of that, I trust you a lot more than most people
But at the same time, I don't trust you one bit
You… you helped save me in the past many times
Even from my worst enemy: myself
You stopped me from making the worst decision ever
I can't ever thank you enough for that
But you also wounded me tremendously
You betrayed me in the worst way possible
I almost drowned in my sorrow
I can't even start to forgive you for that
I hope that does answer your question
You are someone I can trust and don't at the same time

Love Or Loveless

Can you love and not love someone at the same time?
The mortals will answer in the positive that you can
So if that is indeed the truth
Then is that how I feel for you?
I did love you at some point in our lives
When I fell for you I don't know
But I know one fact to be the absolute truth
You were indeed the best thing to happen to me
Words become meaningless when attempting to express my gratitude to you
But I'm not allowed to even start to hate you
You may be wondering why the case
It's because of the past that we shared
Our past… it wasn't hm I'm uncertain as to how to describe it
It was something that for sure
We saved each other countless times, didn't we?
Whatever it was from our so-called friends or ourselves
That is why I love you and don't at the same time
I hope you understand

Beep

Oh wonderful, it's that sound again isn't it
The one that always welcomes me as I enter your room
I desperately wished that I can loathe the irritating sound
Alas I cannot for it's what keeping you alive
If that what passes being alive that is
You never seem to be conscious of the world
You lie there in bed with your face devoid of emotions
My existence goes unnoticed every time I sat near you
And it wound me tremendously to observed you like that
But I will always choose to do so
Because…
You were there for me in the past and the present
And I'll never be able to repay you for that
No matter how hard I try
It may seem insignificant to the others
Because they given up even attempting to having hope
And persuading me to do as well
Telling me that it's pointless to even have hope
But I won't quit on you
I will still plan on visiting you
And won't stop even beyond the end of time
Even if I died on the inside

Vision

I have to be dreaming right?
For there is no freaking way that any of this is true
It has to be all just a silly little illusion
Created from someone as a cruel joke to me
Because there is a impossible feat in front of me: you
Why does it have to be you though?
Every time I attempt to grasp you in my arm
You will always suddenly vanished from sight
And then materialized further away from me
And even if I make a attempt to run to you
To get closer to you even if I can't hold you
You always teleport away even further away than before
Making running quite the obsolete task huh
You're once again forever out of my reach again
Like the last time I seen you
Only this time you are alive
Fate, you are a cruel bastard
I have to wonder though
Does this qualify as a nightmare since I can't touch you
Or is it a dream because I can see you alive and well
Unfortunately I don't know the answer to this inquire
Nor do I have the desire to
For you are here
And that all that matters
Right?

The Fall

The human race, what a running gag we are
We truly believed that we are infallible 
But alas that is a damn fabrication 
We were never flawless to commerce with
Why would we be flawless when we are eliminating Earth
The being who gave us life
It is in avaricious that chopped down numerous trees that gift us Oxygen
It is in voracious that drove many species into extinction
It is in acquisitive for resources that extracted Earth dried
It is in rapacious that  poisoned the  air we breathe in and the ocean
We were appraise numerous times to cease but it is our human stubbornness that we are refused to not listen
There are numerous that attempt to save the Earth and unfortunately we scorn them
It is our human egotastic that is caused the death of our beloved planet
And now we must reap what we sow
With no redemption
We must watch our loved ones pass one by one
We must observed the human race become go extinct
Because of Human nature

Footsteps

There is always the sound of footsteps trailing behind me
And no matter how much I attempt to discover who it is
I have never seen to be successful at all
Everyone believes me insane when I speak of it to them
Telling me that it's my imagination running wild
But I know what I'm hearing
For it's neither loud nor is it quiet
It follows me everywhere I go
Even in my home where it echoes throughout the empty house
It will always fall short of my bedroom door when I slumber
It keeps me restless all night long
And leave me wondering in my head
If it ever enters the room
So I can finally learn the mystery behind the footsteps
But I'm disappointed every single night as the sun arises
It will follow me no matter the weather
The worst of them all is the snow
As the snow makes it seem louder than ever
Frightening me even more
I'm always on edge because of it
And it has put a damper on my relationship with everyone
But that wouldn't stop me not by a long shot
I will prove to everyone that it exists
And then they will stop believing that I'm insane
Right?

Miracle

Miracle

Everyone says that a miracle is one in a million, but I believe that it is a hoax
Why would I want to believe in them when I met you
The day I met you, everything changed for the worst
You wreaked havoc in my life like a wrecking ball
Your silver tongue turned everyone against me
I thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel but with you, in my life, it gets further away
I gave you my heart and you stomped all over it
You try to acted like I was your friend but in reality I never was
But yet despite all this,I was still by your side
Now I'm drowning in a sea of grief because of you
Because you came into my life
Now tell me then
Why I would want to believe in miracles when I met you
You should not be considered a miracle
No, you are the opposite of a miracle
You are a tragedy
A tragedy that I wish never met on that day

Mirror

existence here
What is your actual justification here?
While you show everyone their reflections
But it's not their true reflections
You can't even manifest who they truly are
The monsters that wear human skin to blend in
Who savor feasting on the innocent
The broken mortals that conceal themselves in their mask
Who are narrowly surviving by a thin string
The corrupted peoples who are buried behind their hollowed promises
Who fears action of any kind
The Ignorant who isolate themselves behind their blinds
Who are living in a virtual world
So, tell me mirror: Why do you even exist?
When you can't even show everyone their true face

Freedom

Freedom
Here I stand
A caged bird who wing is clipped
From the day I was born I was told by everyone that I am the prophesied Hero who destiny was to save the World
From that day, I had to follow a set path
I allowed myself to suffer because I thought that it was my fate
Oh how the people cheered for me Hooray for mighty Hero who saved us once again
Nobody cared that I was slowly crumbling apart not even my family
All everyone cared about was the Hero and not the person behind it
I pondered to myself all day long, “How can I save everyone when I can’t even save myself”? As I rotted in the prison that was my home
I thought that was my only path until that day
A strange man dressed in a robe came up to me and offer me a choice
Save the World while I had to suffer
Or
Be finally free from the cage but at the cost of the world
I chose without a moment thought to be free and he set me free
As I ran from the prison the stranger whispered I'm sorry that we made you suffer
The people of this world could suffer like I did
Because finally I was free
Free from my cage

Illusion

Are you aware of what everyone conquer concerning illusions?
They believe that it is either magic or hallucinations
These people don’t acknowledge the reality of illusions and the horror within
If you look pass everything then perhaps you will be able to glimpse the truth
The illusions that magic is real and that it is not what you imagine
The illusions that people cast over themselves to fool others and themselves that they are fine
But in reality they are not, they are holding on by a tiny thread
That is almost breaking
The illusions that Monsters lives in harmony among us, real monsters
We tried to locate them but was never successful
Some of them attempt to wear human skin to blend in
The illusion that Ghost don't exist, but in fact they do
They are the Spirits of these who are dammed
Burden down with the emotions of their past
So in the future when you feast your eyes at something, attempt to look pass the illusion
But be warned for you may not relish the sight
Be sure to hold back the desire to scream
