The Lie

Only shattered pieces of our hearts remain
Haunted by past hurt and pain
Am I just another number on your list?
Am I just another brief moment of bliss?

I didn't want to be...
I wanted you so badly
Just to hold for one day
"Don't fall in love" was all you could say.
(Was it too late?)

I wanted to let go of the past
And lose myself in your beautiful eyes
Cherish the moment while it lasts
I felt as though I had known you forever
(Was it a mistake?)

As we fell asleep, you holding me
My head lay upon your chest
You held me close and tight
Even though it was all a lie.

The Bird May Love The Fish...

The bird may love the fish,
But where do they live?
Love is not all about having a lot of things in common
Or being physically together.
We may have a totally different point of view with our love ones.
Their principles might be against ours.
But should we drag them to the same ship?
Or leave ours and go to theirs?
Remember, the bird will drown in the water...
And the fish will be out of breath outside the water.
Let the bird soar in the sky freely,
And the fish swim in the pond merrily,
For only they know to whom their hearts belong to.

Here I Stand Alone

I just need some attention
Sometimes it makes me want to scream
I feel alone in this world
Like a robot, stuck in routine
I have my heart on the hook
But noone seems to want to take the bait
I desire attention, adoration, and true love
But to be alone - seems it's my fate.
It's funny... it's so comfortable
Being all by myself
But then there are those lonely nights
Where I wish for someone else.
But alas, for the most part
I don't need to adapt or impress
No need to learn about someone else
No past sins to confess.
I'll focus on careers and goals
So that I'll keep my mind occupied
On the outside I'm ambitious and focused
Though inside I have died.
I prepare myself for my future
To be independent and strong
But what is the use of living this life
Because "alone" seems so wrong.
