A Perfect Couple

They have amazing smiles
Two islanders from neighboring isles
Found love and got married
Enjoyed the blessing it carried
Leading life with no demise
Happiness enveloping them, a disguise
Look through the photo albums
Memories too valuable for sums
Yet under all the joy and perfection
Comes the ultimate interjection
You realize there is so much pain
The amount, quite insane
Smiles were all fake
Everything was about to break
The unity and love was a fluke
It was all hit by a nuke
Tracing all the signs of sorrow
That killed the future of tomorrow
Realizing that there were broken hearts
That were shot by poisonous darts
And all you can do is stare
Because reality you can't bear
There is nothing you can do
When it has nothing to do with you
Watch as everything crumbles
To pieces, as the noise mumbles
Seeing that image topple
Is it still that of a perfect couple?

Honorable Soldier

They say my duty is to protect the lands
Defend it! Even with your bare hands
I train so hard in the sun and rain
To become stronger, something to gain
Task after task it gets tougher
My heart and skin become rougher
Learning how to become a predator
I was chosen for this, not just a visitor
Aim for your target's heart
Kill him, find another one, restart
Gradually, I lose all emotion
Combat is my only devotion
Suddenly terrors outbreak
Our country is at stake
What are we going to do?
Start a war, come soldier, you!
Surely, the fight begins
But who are the villains?
I didn't have time to think
These dots to link
I was at war
Fighting like a wild boar
Killing as many enemies as I can
This terror, I will surely ban
An enemy tries to run
I kill him just for fun
Wait! Am I enjoying this?
What is this unholy bliss?
Feeling delight by making others suffer
What is it that I offer?
Wasn't it peace and tranquility?
How come I'm committing infidelity?
I look around, the seeds of hell
Have all come out of their shell
Pointless murdering
Me and my fleet are shouldering
Countless cases of rape
Committed by the heroes wearing the cape
The land we were supposed to protect
With corruption, it, We did infect
Following orders from above
All our humanity we had to shove
Why didn't we ask first?
Why, for blood, did we thirst?
The enemy I killed was just a kid
Going back to a place where he hid
To the world, I'm a hero
Personally, I'm just a zero
My humanity is back
Taking me to the right track
But I'm chained to my regret
A shame that I can't neglect
Although, I did quit the war
It’s not enough to pay back the score
I got a soul, yet I'm just a boulder
I am the honorable soldier

The Ugly Truth

The truth was never pretty
But we all act smart and witty
Sugar coat everything with lies
Bringing forth our own demise
But we do it cause we can
Thinking its the perfect plan
It actually works or so it seems
We never admit living in dreams
Its the ultimate fact, always true
Look around, at me and you
We act happy when we're sad
Us people, we are so bad
Sadly, we think we're so good
Never wrong, never should
Sometimes you got to agree
A darkness in us, we never see
It comes out every now and then
Don't know how, don't know when
That fact everyone did realize
Their system, it did compromise
They try so hard to stay in the dark
Shut out every little spark
But deep inside I see a light
Very dim, barely in sight
Everyone's little confession booth
Accepting the ugly truth

Fury of Frustration

 
I work up a sweat every single day
I struggle to belong somewhere, to stay
It’s like I’m fighting a hopeless battle
I’m powerless and the poisonous snakes rattle

I feel death’s embrace coming nearer
I hear his voice, getting clearer
Death even wrapped me in chains
Another burden on top of all of my pains

There is nothing but blackness around
I think I’m deaf; I hear no sound
I close my eyes accepting my fate
I have no savior, whoever it was its too late

“NO! YOU MORON, YOU MUST SURVIVE!!!!
YOU CANT GIVE UP, FIGHT TO STAY ALIVE!!!!
LIFE IS BUT A WH*RE THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO SCORE!!!
WHAT ARE YOU STILL LYING HERE FOR?!!”

I open my eyes as they search for the voice, my savior
Never did I think they’d have an eccentric behavior
I see nothing but flames of mystical blue
They envelope me, yet they feel like dew

“I can’t believe I belong to a coward
Who doesn’t have the courage to step forward”
The sound seemed to come from everywhere
I didn’t know who to answer, where?

“You don’t have to see me to know I exist
But I’ll show you my form because you’ll insist”
I’m speechless from the knowledge of the voice
It makes me feel like I truly have no choice

“Who are you? Show yourself”, I croak
A man appears, the flames are his cloak
Looks strong, fierce and prepared for anything
It’s surreal, I pretend that I can’t see a thing

He waits for me to acknowledge his existence
Doesn’t give up easy, I admire his persistence
“You are ready to learn of your power
You must make sure, you, it won’t devour”

“The demon inside you will make you strong
But don’t let it stay in control for too long
Or your existence shall be erased forever
And to be able to come back will be never”

I’m surprised I had such a weapon at my disposal
I keenly agree to the man’s proposal
“This power existed since the beginning of creation
I present to you, the fury of frustration”

As I Lay Dying

I feel lazy and weak
Words, I can no longer speak
Body so worthless, fully limp
All my pride faded, officially a wimp
Brain barely carrying out its function
Breaking apart like a loose junction
My vision is blurry
Fading from this world in a hurry
Is this truly the end?
Or is there another place, in it, ill blend
Is there truly a heaven
That has eight doors not seven?
What about hell?
About it, is it true what they tell?
They say there's an afterlife
But what about my children and my wife?
Who'll take care of them when I'm gone?
In denial, the one who's going to be alone
Is no one else but me
This is how it’s supposed to be
The time has come for me to die
And for me, many people will cry
But why am I leaving?
Their sorrow I am weaving
Why am I such at ease about dying?
Worrying about the people who are going to be crying?
Why do I feel so light?
Like a feather flying out of sight
Why is my mind so clear?
No negative thoughts coming near
I'm finally free without even trying
Sadly, it came as I lay dying

A Mother With No Child

It's the saddest story you will ever hear
Tragedies, can't even come near
It's about a lonely woman with no child
She wanted one to make her life go wild
A young lively kid who brings trouble
Average would be fine, even double
She wants to bear a child so badly 
Never ever will she have one, sadly
All the kids and parents have such joy
Their bonds are always ready to employ
She cares for all kids, like a mother
As if they were her own, not another
But she never felt the parenting bond
Of that, she's not quite fond
Blames herself for all the mistakes
Never knew life will sour her cakes
She goes mad day after day
When will her kid ever come to play?
Will she ever break out of this sorrow?
Will there be a brighter tomorrow?
Waiting for her eternal dream 
A ray of hope to fall, a beam
Some miracle to coincide
So she is no longer, the mother with no child

Glued Heart

 I pick up the pieces of my heart
Piece by piece, part by part
It breaks every single time
All the emotions in it sublime

Funny thing, I'm fixing it again
Shouldn't bother, it causes me pain
But still I learn that i have pride
I must endure, life's a rough ride

Doesn't matter if I lose it all
Doesn't matter if I have a great fall
Doesn't matter if people hate me
Because they don't see what I see

Doesn't matter if my life is hell
Endure it, Live the story, then tell
Doesn't matter if my loved one rejected me and said no
Move on, don't you dare let it show

Doesn't matter I was betrayed
It's ok, nobody ever stayed
Doesn't matter if I actually die
I'll soar the skies as I fly

Doesn't matter if I ever succeed
My pain is continuing to bleed
Doesn't matter if I tell you "I love you"
I know you won't say "too, I do"

Doesn't matter that family is but a sin
It traps you like a mouse in a can of tin
Doesn't matter that he throws obstacles my away
I believe in myself, I know I'll be okay

Even though my life is a sad song
My faith still picks me up, I'm still strong
Doesn't matter for my life is but art
Its masterpiece, my glued heart

A Fork In Our Road

We've known each other a long time
Our bond too strong to sublime
We are the example of friendship
Stuck together through the hardship
We've always had each others' backs
In each others hearts, we left our tracks
The bond uniting us is too strong
Giving us a sense we truly belong 
We belong to each other you and I
I don't know how, I don't know why
We've always helped each other
If we didn't meet, we wouldn't bother
Trying so hard to reach our goals
We set a flame to our sleeping coals
Working hard to what we aspire
Fighting for our own hearts desire
But my dearest friend I take my leave
That letter, didn't you receive?
The bond uniting us has been forbidden
Reason behind it, no longer hidden
We can no longer divide our load
Because there's a fork in our road

Kill Me Dear

The most incredibly ironic scene
To everyone, it is quite obscene
A scene where a lover has to kill
Their soul mate, against their own will
They were trapped in a wicked game
One must die or it would be lame
If they choose not to abide by the rules
Then the world doesn't need more fools
The killing weapon is a gun
So that the injury cant be undone
How is it you're supposed to choose
When your loved one you can't lose?
The two truly loved each other
They can't settle for another
Their code was always and forever
Now, will it ever happen? Never!
She wants them both to stay alive
But she's in denial, both can't survive
She doesn't know what to do
It's just a dream, none of this is true
She closes her eyes wanting to wake
This cruelty she can hardly take
She sits still and cries a river of tears
Struggling to control her own fears
He's already made his choice
But he doesn't want to lose his voice
The pain he's going through is surreal
He wished, it, he could seal
Facing his fears, he walks the line
He convinces himself everything is fine
Walks to her with all his might
His temptation, he must fight
He embraces her, he can't lie
Because one of them has to die
He can't lie and say it'll be okay
Can't charm her with his usual way
He pulls the gun to his head
Logic from his brain has fled
She grabs the gun and yells "no"
The gun has become their mistletoe
Felt like forever, a final kiss
with an eternal bliss
"But honey, you're the one to live
Protecting you is all i have to give"
He puts the gun in her hands
"C'mon do it" is all that he demands
He puts her finger in the trigger
Pulls it, a small bullet with a, damage, bigger
The shot, echoing still in her ear
While he mouthed "kill me dear"

Finding Love

Love is the greatest emotion of them all
You're entranced by it once you fall
Falling for someone and getting together
Commit to them, always and forever

Love comes in many forms, at first sight
Or maybe on date, dinner outside with stars shining the night
Or you feel your world collapsing
And realize they're the only column standing

Love is bitter, love is sweet
Love is a one of a kind treat
Love is sometimes all that you need
Sometimes you can't find love, no matter the times you plead

Why is the latter taking over these days?
Why can't love appear without any delays?
I tried to find love but i could never find it
Is love fiction? An addiction that we need for life to make sense?

Helplessly, I do not have an answer
This awkward silence is my cancer
I've fallen in love many times before
But none, so far, were what I was looking for

Somedays, it seems much easier to give up and stop whining
Some think fate makes love do the finding
Some think love matures as you grow till you're in the heavens above
Others, like me, just grew tired of finding love
