Where Ive Been
So many years, so many things
Can’t say I’m the same person
Since the last time we saw each other
wearing those coats back in 2017.
I’ve been trying to forget about you
I’ve been trying to fall in love again
But my passion for you is still vivid and wet
Just like the colour of dark-silk red
Living so many experiences
Asking myself where I’ve been
With the time I realized
I am still walking alone
In the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Maybe it was my mistake
I did lie, fantasized and deceived
I only wanted to test your character
To see if we can become the same being
The sky is no longer blue,
There is no light coming out from the Moon
I promise that since the last time we saw each other
There hasn’t been a single day
Without thinking about you
Just wanted to forget about your memories
But you just still appear in my dreams
I don’t know what this exactly means
But the Lord just wants this to repeat
Reflecting upon my guilt, wondering about another Love
If another relationship could manage to start
When you appear while I am at sleep
I just wake up to a Broken Heart
How long will this agony continue?
For how much it will be?
I only want a new beginning
So I can redeem my sins
It has been complicated, to carry on a better life
I had lived many good things though
But there is this emotional scar
Lying around on my mind
I’ve changed, not because what I’ve lived
Or learned, but because how I reflected
Wisdom doesn’t come out from a book or map
But it does come out from the bottom of the heart
So tired of pretending I’m happy
Since 14 years of age, my life has been like you said, so sad
My mind is better when quiet
My life, I’d realized, is so silent.
April or May 2021. (Incomplete)
