TO LIVE

It's been a good while
That I no longer know
What is sleep?
I close my eyes...

But slowly I feel
Discomfort without sleep
Afflicting me... The silence of the house...
The feeling of being here alone
Without you, just an emptiness
Hit hard, hard
Suffocating squeezing
Inside, inside my chest...

I don't know for sure, but not everything is correct
It's something related that one can blindly trust
Lies, I really don't know
It hurts a lot, a lot between my veins
The feeling of being broken
Every connection in this heart
Connected to my life, okay…

Okay... Painful sensation
That one day...
Slowly still...
I'm trying to live...

The Road Not Taken With You

As we cross path we smile to each other, but mine's shiver,
How do i describe a feeling that's more than bitter?

You freeze my body and thoughts like a cold chill when near,
but there's an intense flame inside when you're not here.

This painful sensation consumes and drills my heart into nothingness,
It seems noone nor anything can suppress this emptiness...but you.

I try so hard to keep my tears confined as many a day until now,
and it scares me to show a drop of tear or to cry out loud.

I hope we cross path once again, maybe my smile will be true,
No..i will not smile until i walk the same path with you...
