In My Mind

In my mind
Rushes and chaos are the cover of my daylight,
Sculptured hope is nothing but mirages and haunted me for years,

In my mind
All hustle and bustle when calmed down
At midnight with the burning candle
My obsessed shadow walked out in wander
From afar watch ghosts play
And pitying me
Because my soul is weary

In my mind
Yearned for a knock in the door
House filled with the scent of sweet litchis
And a love to return.
