The Sky's Tears

Day after day.
Time after time.
Everything has stayed the same.
The doubts in my mind.
The thoughts of the dead.
The ones that I loved most.

A distant dream.
One that only comes when I sleep.
I have wasted my life.
Dreaming my future away,
but no one sees it.
No one believes it.
They only care for themselves.

Alone.
It has been my life.
It will be to the end of time.
There are no tears shed.
No signs of sadness in my head.
Will I ever show my raw feeling
to the disaster of life?

A blank face.
No feelings to be detected.
No one asks if I'm ok.
It's not their business, 
but there's no kindness 
in a world full of hatred.

Pity.
I hate it,
but I still long for it.
That someone will come.
That I won't be alone.
That no one has left me in the past,
but it's all a dream in my head.

Dreams.
They never last.
They come back,
but so does reality.
So broken.
So unneeded.
So unfair,
but I still use it to help with my fears.

Fears.
They are my weaknesses,
but they are apart of me.
Sadly, they do
cause me to dream my life away.
Will I ever be pitied in the end?

The sky.
It comes at the right time.
It cries the tears I never shed.
Crying is a weakness,
but why does the sky,
who holds up my world outside,
still cries for me in the end?

No one cares.
No one is there.
No one knows me inside.
I least I have the sky
to help me through my hard times.
At least the sky cries my sadness inside.

This Day That Speaks of the Suffering

This day out of all days speaks words of realism and shame.
The world you've made hides the shadows that lingers to this day.
Unnoticed.
Unnecessary.
The darkness within holds the secret to your surroundings.
You've ignored the fact that the world is suffering.

The millions reached out for the touch of a hand.
Never getting a single light to guide them to friends.
We fall slowly into a hole of
our ignorance,
our arrogance,
and our defiance.
Never really realizing that our love isn't made to stand.

You say that you know.
That you feel and understand.
With no experience or evidence, how could say that you truelly aren't pretend?
Sad you describe your life,
but to the world outside of society, 
your words mean nothing to them.

A life without fears.
A home caring and protected.
A bank that filled to the brim.
A hand that pollutes the earth.
A society that helps all that live and breathes.
Your life isn't so sad that you once thought of it to be.

The hungry and the dead.
They still live in peace. 
With a heart of gold, but still so fragile to keep.
Survival is a must, so their hearts start to rot.
Slowly but surely the light will end.

What's left is the darkness that lingers in our hearts.
That's a sad story, but not the worse that was made.
The evil shows itself in the people who could help, 
but never do in this world of shame.
They hung their heads low and follow the rest who are the same.

This world will never change.
The greed will show.
The greed will stand.
That's the true sadness in our hearts.
No one cares for each other.
No one helps another.

This day out of all days told me the story
of the people who suffer to this day.
In the world we live, you're luckier than most.
You've hides these facts in the world you have made.
The world that you're the one who's suffering.
It's all a sad story with always a sad ending.

This day out of all days speaks words of realism and shame.
The world you've made hides the shadows that lingers to this day.
Unnoticed.
Unnecessary.
The darkness within holds the secret to your surroundings.
You've ignored the fact that the world is suffering.

Heartbroken

Placed upon a heavy heart.
Dead inside before we start.
It was never meant to be.
I was too blind to see.
That all has shattered in a million parts.

Why Did You Leave

Your warm embrace.
Your perfect smiles.
Your beautiful eyes.

They were so close to me. 
Every day they were there for me.
Through all the hard times.
Through all the sad times.
You were always here for me. 

I thought that you would stay.
I thought that you were strong.
I truly thought that you would never leave.

Didn’t I mean anything to you?
Didn't our time together made you understand 
that you meant everything to me?

Now I'm standing here in the rain 
crying for you to come.
Hoping that everything was just a silly dream,
but it isn't...

I'm pouring my heart out at night.
I'm praying for you to not be gone.
Oh, why did you leave?
Oh, why was this world so cruel to you
and now to me?

Philautia

It was you that said "til death do us apart."
Now I wished I've never started. 
That you never had to suffer
such memories of a crushed soul.

To that lord who aline the stars,
I pray to you that I will never
have to see these experiences again. 
That you will protect me
no matter what path I cross. 

Life shouldn't take what once was sweet. 
I'm sorry my choices did that to you.
I promise too that I'll take care of you. 
My past, please forget the memories of 
a broken home, a broken dream. 

Find solitude in yourself, my love. 
You're what has matter the most to me. 
Myself, see that light past the tunnel. 
Know that I'll always be here for you.
So please, believe in me.

Lonely Melody

A breeze traveling through the night.
A empty sky without the moon to guide those in flight.
There's nothing to say to something with no stars.
There's nothing tonight to see at all.

The house on the hill screaming for help.
No one comes to hear the song of the one
who lost it all.
A sad life, forever alone lies the girl singing a song
that no one can hear
because no one is there.

The piano giving its all.
The sadness inside that cries in need
for someone to come.
All it wants is to be heard by the ones it loves.

A melody in the night.
So lonely with no one in sight.
It's not lonely because no one hears.
They have all heard the same melody
for many years.
A lonely melody is caused because no one cares.

The Stars Call

The darkness of the night
make stars shine so very bright.
It calls the name of the ones who are loved.
The family of the ones in sorrow.
The family of the ones who died in war.
The family of all who are good in this world.
The stars call them all,
except the one most important to the heart inside.
No, the stars didn’t call the name of mine.

Chase the Moon

Light from the night sky.
Why chase the river of stars;
when the moon shines bright?

Please

Please, I don't want to be weak. 
I don't want to be the one who relies on others.
Who uses another to help with my feelings.
Who needs others to survive through the night.

Please, I want to be independent.
I desire to be strong.
I can survive by myself, alone.
I really don't need your help.

Please understand that I'm saying all this.
Telling lies through your head.
It hurts to be strong,
but I need to be stong.

Life finds so many ways to bring you down.
So many ways to hurt you now.
I've been strong, but it's all empty inside.
Please stay, I need your help.

Healing

The falling of cherry blossoms
caused small hearts fall to the ground,
forming puddles of pink petals.
I've sat under this tree for days.
My worries and doubts all given
to a tree by the hillside.
I've lived a long life full
of hatred and torture.
Many regrets and memories 
past through my head.

Not one day has passed since
I've realized my mistake.
That I have trusted the same lies
that once gave me comfort at night.
Friends, what are they?
I thought that mine would stay.
I still hear the same words each day,
"I'll stay by your side."

Betrayal plagues my mind.
I just wished the world's could be prefect,
like the dreams I have at night.
It's all in the past.
I know that nothing will ever last.
Dwelling on this for years has made me weak.
I have stayed under this cherry tree for years,
thinking what I did wrong.
I have placed my past in front of me
letting my future slip further behind.

It's not healthy to keep such pain 
in my heart.
To cry myself to sleep each night.
Sitting under this tree is calming.
I have wasted so much time
wishing for all to come back.
My past.

Now it's no longer here.
I know everything has changed.
I'm looking up to see each petal 
fall silently to the ground.
The peace it brings me.
The light that's near me.
It's something I know I will keep living with.
I know that with each pasting day
I'm healing.
