Mardi Gras

Standing in the middle of a circumstance,
Holding both of them in my hands.
They see me as the worst person to be,
But they can’t understand what I really feel.

What the eyes want to see is what they ought to see,
But reality lies only within me.
They can’t understand, because they only stare.
I’m tired of listening but still here I am.

Tears had fallen already from my eyes,
Still they don’t understand why am I like an ice,
What am I made of that they hate?
Am I the only one they see as a mistake?

Crying alone in the oblivion they made,
With this heart shouting for His grace.
Am I a mistake needed to be erased?
Or am I just afraid of the situation I need to face?

Am I a scarlet letter considered as a disgrace?
I need them to tell me.
I want to feel no more.
Silent tears of a face covered with a broken mask.

Hourglass

Time has its own gap when we say hello.
We race through it for us not to go.
Joys and sadness we cherished in this gap.
To reminisce it with you is one good luck.

I race through time to find someone like you.
I sit in this earth just to wait for you. 
I don’t know if I’ll find you but here I am. 
I’ll just have to trust fate to bring me to you by time.

Waiting for you will never bother me
For I know you’ll come because it’s meant to be.
We’re here by fate, I know, coz’ here I am.
I waited till the sun sets for you to come.

It may be naïve for them when they see,
But they didn’t know anything ‘bout you and me.
Say what they want, but they can never break.
Love is our armor that time had bind and sealed.

Shattered . . . Changed . . . Became Whole

To fall is what I am afraid of
Afraid to love, and be loved by someone else.
Entered that game before,
Been fooled, hurt and shattered into pieces
Never expected that way.
Never imagined that it’ll be like that.
Hurt thyself, and hurt by someone else.
I stop.
Unsensitive to the love that surrounds me
By this, I hurt them, killed them
Took away the happiness that was in their faces
The love that makes them live their lives.
I changed.
Try to turn back time from where I stopped.
But there’s no such thing
Regrets kept on lingering, creeping inside my soul.
It killed me, leave me for dead, like a corpse in a war.
Shattered like before, no one showed me the light
No one gave me the love I needed.
I live, alone, no one to turn to, no one to be with.
Then he came.
Proposed something differently.
But I was afraid.
I can’t give my trust to a stranger.
I can’t lend him something so precious
I am afraid to be broken, broken and shatterd once again.
But he waited, waited so patiently.
Like them I gave him pain, I tried to break him
Try to make him realize that he was wrong
His feelings are wrong.
He shouldn’t give his heart to someone who can break it so easily
Then.
I showed compassion, I start to care.
By then I became soft, and vulnerable once again
Still I am afraid.
But every moment with him is a memory
He changed me, changed me completely
He gave back the person I was.
Now I am afraid, afraid to let him go.
I trust him, and still there he is.
With me.
Living life with someone who was shattered but he made whole
Brought back the pieces, every shattered pieces.
Now.
I love him.
And I’m sure it’ll last forever.

Love Story

Shame is what I felt when I’ve known you,
‘Cause I thought I need to hate you
But with a glance I dreamt of you,
With just a smile I learned to love you.

Broad shoulders with a good looking face.
Eyes and lashes like those of a doll’s face.
But do I need to love how you look?
Lucky I am you’re not a crook.

Sugar and spice and everything nice.
Things that would describe you.
Rebel but sweet and oh so neat,
Hope that you could see me through.

Fancy I am it’s just a crush,
For I don’t want my heart to crash.
Hurting is not what I meant,
But to be hurt is need to be bent.

Need not to look for a crystal ball,
Or a lady with a Heart of gall.
Deck of cards is not on the list,
It’s just you that I need, and boom! There It Is.

My heart I hope that you’ll accept.
Feelings that are not easy to forget.
It’s just love that I need from you,
To embrace me in your arms as you say I love you.

So true as it is and wish it wouldn’t stop,
For I need someone like you to fill my heart up.
Warmth of your caress is what I need,
For I‘m a needy of your love indeed.

It’s just your hands that would comfort me,
Through rainy days of each morning.
Of autumn and winter, of summer and fall
There’s nothing that would stop me to love and to fall.

The caress I need would fade,
For I do not forget that you’re in a cage.
Committed to someone else is what I Knew
But do I have to wait for you?

The sand fills the glass as days went by.
Waiting for you makes it easy for me to die.
I’ll just lie again so that the pain will end.
Cry again caused by lies that never ends.

Lie to my lips is what I did.
My heart broke again as what I said.
Afraid to sleep again to dream of you.
Afraid to love again because of you.

Moving on now is my task
For there’s nothing much for you to ask.
You just committed a sin with your deed.
You hurt the both of us, of what you did.

Now that you’re in a cage, I won’t trouble.
Because maybe there is someone... like you were doubled.
Wish I could find him and lead me away,
But what’s this? He’s leading me to stay.

I’m not here to stay because I wanted to.
He led me here, because he knows that I love you.
To set me free is what he wants.
Now I have to start again and flip my wand.

To wait for you now is my only choice.
To love you secretly is not  a poise.
Don’t worry I’ll be quiet, for them not to hear,
My feelings for you, for I love you so dear.

Just One Smile

So bitter, so blue
A heart broken in two
No remedy, no cure
But when you came it turns hue

Just one smile
Just one smile
And baby all that you’ll see
A world for you and me
Just one smile
Just one smile
And soon it all turns out 
a world for you and me

So baby turn around 
As you makes my day
No bandages, no scar
For you are there to hold me

Just one smile
Just one smile
And baby all that you’ll see
A world for you and me
Just one smile
Just one smile
And soon it all turns out 
a world for you and me

Defetist

One day you are happy and then you lost happy...
And everything became ruined. 
It's when your hopes were as high as the pedestal that the pedestal fell down on you so hard.

To breathe. 
That was the idea.
But struggle came. 
You became friends with striving that you fell in love with it, 
because you felt a little joy with it. With striving. 

You two were so damned. 
So damned that it consumed all of what you have. 
You strive. 
Feel little. Either positive or negative you feel just little. 

Happy, you were there. Lost you, but I know you're just there.
Hiding. Together with another pal contentment. 
When will be the both of you will drop by?

Negative or positive only one of you stayed. 
Hi Love. You made me the worst and the best person.
The most damned of all. 
There's no little nor big of you. You're just here.
Just here. Watching and influencing me to be the best.
The best of wreck and the best of good.

I got you. Always here. 
You've made me the best and the worst. 
The most selfless and selfish.
And it's driving me crazy every freaking day.

Scar

Thought that you would be mine
So I waited for a long time
You were with her in a couple of years
And break up as my tears disappear.

At last my waiting is done 
Now, you and I will be one 
We can build up great love with each other 
And be together sooner or later.

The evening I’ve waited has began
You and I are together as one 
Dance the night ‘till tomorrow never comes
And hold each others hands until dawn has come.

Now that we’re together
I thought you’re in love with me forever 
But it’s like feather in the wind
You’ll love me now and forget me later.

And now that you left me without a goodbye 
My world falls apart, I think I’m gonna die
My heart has been wounded by your love
I think it would heal but it’ll have a scar.

Our memories together brought me happiness
My heart has loved you without a rest
And even now that we may be apart
I think I shall move on but I’ll never say goodbye.

Untitled

The knight was alive,
I saw him with my eyes,
But no love was left for thee,
The day he was taken away from me.

There was pain, guilt and guilt.
If I was not ignorant and doubtful.
If I was not a hesitant and a fool.
Maybe, just maybe, he is here.
Here by my side, loving me.

No spell were ever strong to break what I feel.
But he left,
He was taken away from me.
But he was alive.

My knight is alive.
I saw him with my eyes.
But, we can love no more
For we have our seperate lives.

Farewell Last Love

Forgetting you has been my task 
But I think it is much to ask
For one last kiss.
My heart stops beating for a while
As I seek for another hi.

I may love, I may cry, 
But I’ll never say to you how I die
Lie to my lips is what I did 
As I cover my life full of tears.

As time goes by I learn to forget
Of a smile that I could never get
Setting my feet on another path
To find someone I could love like that.

Fogetting you now becomes easy,
As I see myself with somebody.
Take the path with him in my story
As my heart opens its book for my one and only.

Thus I see myself with him in a smile,
But old times comes back as you come by
But memories of you stops and die
For I give my love to another hi.

-untitled-

Of cold hands, of cold feet
Rage lies in thy heart
No one could understand.
This world is an oblivion filled with innocence and dishonesty.

Of feelings and of truth
Lies are the only truth.
Beholding thy warmth of rage,
And rage flows through thy veins, no one could understand.

I am a face made of lies,
A mask made of smiles.
Truths are asleep in my eyes,
And only thy heart knows why.

Questions, interrogations
They are crap of my mind.
Feel them, hate them,
And now you’ll see it as a surprise.

Feelings are of unreal
And truth hides beneath my feet.
Still I won’t show these things.
Because it’s the only way they won’t be in pain.
