Hessa

He’s more myself than I am
Whatever our souls are made of 
His and mine are the same 
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship
Fear of being alone
Fear  of disrupting the arrangement of your life
A decision to settle for something’s that’s okay
Because you don’t know if you could get any better
Or maybe there’s
The irrational belief that it will get better
Even if you know he wont change
Here’s to the night I stood alone,
To the night I cried so hard that I couldn't breathe
To the night I prayed for him to comeback to me
And of course to the night he never looked back
Love isn't about how many months 
or years that you've been together 
Its about being able to see the light inside
Of the person who knows nothing but darkness
I feel like I’m drowning and 
Its hard to keep myself above the water,
Especially when I’m fighting against the current 
To save him rather than myself
I used to think that when people fell in love
They just landed where they landed
And had no choice in the matter afterword
And maybe that’s the true of beginnings
But its not true of this, now
I fell in love with him
But I just don’t stay with him by default
As if there’s no one else available to me
I stay with him because I choose to,
Everyday I wake up, everyday that we fight
Or lie to each other or disappoint each other
I choose him over and over again
And he chooses me
At the end of it all
He would be my perfect disaster and 
I would be his ever after.

Sisters

2 years, 5 months and 14 days ago
That’s about how long you've moved half way across the world
I've always been worried that things would change between us 
But you made me believe that everything would remain the same
I never knew you could take me so far 
I've always wanted the home that you are
We have busier lives now, picking up the phone isn’t always an easy task
I've tried to make myself believe that its good not to be ‘entwined’ 
But I feel that if I do then I’ll lose my sister forever
Cause you always reached down underneath and tore down all my walls
Distance shouldn't make a difference for us,
But it does
I want the things the way they used to be
Talking all the time, laughing for no apparent reason
All these memories I know I’ll carry in my heart
I can go back and play them over in my head so to make it seem
As though everything is the way it used to be
You are not here to say what you always used to say
But you have made me believe in me and 
Helped me follow my heart
I remember how sometimes I would get so weird 
And that’d freak you out
And then we’d laugh ourselves to sleep cause that was our lullaby
You taught me to dream with open eyes 
And live the truth each day, be wise
Now standing in the dark I still believe that you are watching over me
If I could, I would build a time machine and
Replay all the wonderful times we’ve had together
I don’t want to know what it’d be like not to have you as a sister
No matter if things change
I’ll always remember that you’re here
Always in my heart
Even after one thousand, nine hundred and ninety two days apart.

I Wish

My friends judge me on the basis of my past
I wish I could tell them it was who I was and not who I am 
My friends think that things in my life are alright
I wish I could tell them that all I did with my best friend was fight
My friends think that I'm holding back things
I wish I could tell them that there is nothing
My friends think that I've got everything I've wanted
I wish I could tell them that all those things are unwanted
My friends advise me that I should move on with my life
I wish I could tell them that I've already lost my life
My friends tell me that I should forget everything
But I wish there was something
My friends tell me to try new things
I wish I could explain that I’m not interested in anything
My friends think I shouldn't be lonely
But I wish they would understand that I all want is to be alone
I wish I could explain what my life is like
I wish to leave this world without making a noise
I wish…

A Better Tomorow

Tired of pain, tired of sorrows
Just want to forget everything and start a better tomorrow.
But it's not as easy as it seems
Cause every night I weep
Wish I could let go of everything
But how can I? 
When that person meant to me everything
And I meant nothing, I wish I was something

But for a better tomorrow, 
I'll give up all my sorrows
Forget about him and start a new beginning
As he was not meant for me 
Cause there's someone more special for me

I wish to find him in the toughest part of my life
To see if he will be with me all my life
Help me forget all my sorrows
And help me start with a better tomorrow
A better tomorrow

I'M Tired

I’m tired of waiting, when I know he’s never coming
I’m tired of pretending everything is fine,
When I lost something that was sometime mine
I’m tired of pretending that I’m over him,
When I know my life is all about him.
I’m tired of putting up a happy face,
When I’m going through my life’s worst phase
I’m tired of trying to sleep at night
When all I so id hold on to the pillow tight
I’m tired of expecting people to understand me
When I know they are going to live with their assumptions about me 
I’m tired of always planning to to start again
Cause whenever I look back I fall for him all over again
I’m tired of wanting a new beginning 
When I know there’s no happy ending
I’m tired of all that’s going on
But I have faith in myself that I’ll move on
I’ll move on and stop saying I’m tired
So I’ll try not to get tired tired
Not to get tired,
But still somewhere in the end 
I’m tired
I’m tired.
