Loneliness Is a Friend

"Loneliness is a friend

Loneliness is a foe

Can't be removed

And it stays through thick and thin"



It makes me wants to fall in love

Because I don't want to be alone

Not that I'm not okay with being alone

But this friend of mine will accompany me 

And I don't want that



"Loneliness is a friend

Loneliness is a foe

Can't be removed

And it stays through thick and thin"



That words stay like a mantra

Some sort of prayer as my unconscious mind calls for it

And the law says you are what you think

It will come for you, regardless



"Loneliness is a friend

Loneliness is a foe

Can't be removed

And it stays through thick and thin"

Somewhere Heavenly

Somewhere
Someplace 
Far from here
Someone is waiting
Under the same sky

Is he a Greek god?
A mythical creature that it's just a fantasy?
I remember 
Somewhere in my dreams
Someone is calling my name

Is he in the desert?
Calling my name under the heat?
Disrupted by heavenly oasis 
He is slightly maniacal, finally 

Is he on a mountain somewhere across the world?
Looking from above
He said the earth suddenly became so tiny
Feeling a bit sentimental
He just laughs it off

He cried alone for some time
Mumbling all by himself
Like a wanderer from a faraway place
He played his guitar that he loves so much
Yes, he did remember 
He did remember

We made a promise to meet again
It all seemed absurd 
Yet for once, let's just let go of everything
And stay together forever in our dreams
I told you, I mean it this time

A Long Time Ago

Pat my back for a while
Even your smile lifts my world
My troubles, they all fly away
Fly in whites in the blue sky

The paddy field is busy
The wind just love to slap my face
That is all I can say
It was a long time ago

You are on my bed
Lying alone, but of course, with clothes on
Started to sing along with the voices on the radio
Ah, it's still morning

Your shy demeanor caught me off guard
Sometimes wild, sometimes sensitive
You should know
I'm not talking about what you're thinking

Your warmth has reached me
It feels so unreal
But it did happen
A long time ago

Mannequins

My hands are bleeding
My face is dirty
My clothes are rags
This is my reality

Talking to myself in third person
She, her, them
What's with me?
I want to be her too

Walking down the street 
Looking at myself from outside mirror 
I'm different from those stick thin mannequins
I'm broke, but I want to be that mannequin

Little black dress 
Sophisticated pearl necklace
And some bright lipsticks
I will feel like I'm on top of the world

Seasons will pass 
Those mannequin change more clothes than me
I want to be that mannequin
Those beautiful mannequin

Touched my face
I looked back to my reflection
Got me realized 
That I'm back to my reality

Stop Crying, My Friend

Put that drink down
Stop looking down and look at me now
What has gone bad for you?
What made you so low like this?

I don't give a damn about others
But I care a lot about you
I can hold you if you wanted to
Though not much that I can bring
To keep you smiling again

My friend
Why are you crying so much?
The world still hasn't ended
Does it hurt so much?
Baby, I'm still here to give you warmth

Let's get out of this place
Some wretched life that person has given you
Wipe the tears on your face
The sun is rising
Baby, you still have a life ahead of you

Pick up your bag
And let's leave everything for today
We're going to see the wonders in life
Those little things that you missed
Something that's worth crying for

I Closed My Eyes

It should be hard on you
I left you when you needed me the most
I did close my eyes
Hoping you would hold my hands
And stop me

It has been an hour
Wondering if I've made the right choice
It's okay, I will live
But you didn't know that I love you

Every single day you'd say you need me
Like a recitation or some sort of chant
You needed me
An obsession you couldn't live without
It is not love

I'm regretting
Walked out of that door so you'd stop me
But you didn't
Not going to rewind the tape
It will still be the same

If you could realize that we're losing ourselves
Once you loved me
The next day, your eyes said something else 
Yes, I still remember

What were we doing?
We were holding on for this long
It's a miracle
Now, it's time to let go
And I'll be the person to leave

If you could turn back to the person you were
I'm asking something stupid here
It's time to move on
Maybe this time
It'll be the longest time to forget the love we used to have

Once In a While

Once in a while when I was in my dreams
I think of you more than I thought
Slowly, I'm losing my sight on the reality
It's difficult to love when I'm nowhere in your journey

Your existence is like when I'm listening to jazz blues
Drowned in emotions while being enchanted
You're so beautiful
I know you're not someone I should play with
You're just too dangerous
You're like a kid
Women just love you

Secretly, I'm writing this on a piece of paper
Even though it wasn't meant for you to read it
My mum told me to marry someone who loves me
Not those who makes my heart flutter but
Your voice is like a serenade to my ears
Your style is just my type
Your smile is your charm
I feel like I could love you

Sometimes, I pretended to be fine
When you look into my eyes
I go crazy inside
That's my honest reply
I shouldn't say this, but
Your voice is like a serenade to my ears
Your style is just my type
Your smile is your charm
I feel like I could love you

Orange Lantern

A night to be remembered
Walking down the streets
Children running around
Festive smiles for everyone

A woman with walking grace
As gentle as nature
As smooth as silks
She knows how to make an entrance
Oh, believe me
Everyone else was put into a trance

Holding on to an orange lantern
The fires light up hopes
And an earnest wish
The lantern flies away
Together with her heart

Orange lanterns light up the night
Fills the darkness with happiness
A night that holds so much felicity
Wash away the emptiness and longing
Even just for a night
Her heart was jubilant

A Lost Kid In the City

I'm not in love
So why do I feel so hurt?
I am still a kid
So why do I see things that I shouldn't?
I'm not an adult
So why do I feel like one?

Lights on the streets outshines the stars tonight
I am imagining a non existent melody inside
I feel so dejected
So why do I feel like I'm in a magical rainbows?
It's not raining tonight
So why does my face feels so wet?

I am still wandering
I am still alone and lonely
Don't know what to do
Suddenly I wanted to see someone
But what do I do?
I don't even know who I should meet

I am not looking for someone
But I woke up in the morning
Still feeling the cold on my feet
I had this unknown feelings
Yesterday's memories are fading but it is still in my mind

I am still waiting for miracles to happen
Because I'm still a kid
I am still yearning to live in a magical world
But what I had is not in my dreams
And I am just a lost kid in a city

Walk Away

Closed my eyes
Walked a step
And I leaped  across a streamlet

The beginning of my vagabond chapter
I brought my bag
And honestly, I didn't look back
Not even once

"Don't look back, don't look back"
Since you pushed me away
I had to drag myself out of your sight
Persuaded my ego to leave your wretched soul

While I delved into the new world
You pulled me back 
Your jealousy showed me the worst of you
But I guess I have become immune with your pretentious sweet words

Prosaic and stern 
Your words were obsolete
You've become a stranger each time I see you
Perhaps, leaving you is beneficial after all
