That which alters not the thoughts,
Yet gives it a try and confidence should be a better fate!

Alone at the crossroads again,

a bug trapped in a jar,

I watch by Her window

for a world that refuses to appear.

The Path Is Chosen By Our Fate

the path
that we take
is chosen
by our fate
when we
deny our
mistakes but
do not
let death
catch you,
by surprise

The suffering ends right now
Don’t want to see you
I’m contented without you
Get out of my existence

My eyes weren't spared either,
A flick of her finger, and two desires were dead.

Our shield of a fragile meaning
The umbrella to the rain of life
Inevitable wetness, our fate
