Confusion
Something always brings me back to you / In a circle, It never takes too long... / A heart doesn't realize what it's missing

Easy
It's 9 AM on a weekday / I'm going to play hooky and stay / Lounge on the bed like I have all day

If
If I were your light, / I would conquer all shadows / From your mind, your heart, your soul.

Thief
You crept up to me / Stealthily, silently / Occupying my mind

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, / Black as the Pit from pole to pole, / I thank whatever gods may be

Edge
I've been fighting for so long / I have shattered views and broken bones / Those closest to me

An Open Letter to my 20 something self
Dear You, / The universe can sometimes become too playful. It let’s you experience things that you wouldn’t want to experience, just for the plain reason that you must be able to feel the pain or the pleasure of it. You meet certain people in your life for certain reasons; some people that you don’t intend to meet and yet they suddenly become an extraordinary person in your life. Some you can keep, and some that you would just have to let go. You might think of it as something that generally ***** but it’s doesn’t **** really. It’s the universe’s way of showing you of what you might miss if you decide to prolong that exhilarating feeling, that it will somewhat bring awe, anxiety and even death – death of something that you wish would last for a lifetime. Because in life, you have to make decisions, you have to make choices, and those are facts that you cannot change. What is important is that at the end of the day, you don’t feel any regret for all the things that you did – intentionally or unintentionally. You might not want to admit this but, for that moment in your life, you felt high, you felt alive, you felt happy, you felt real, you felt wanted, and you felt loved. / If by any chance, you would want to make a rewind of every little memory just because you feel like it deserves a proper conclusion, **don’t**. It is a terrible idea; it may even be the worst thing that you would ever do to yourself, to your life. Because in life, there are no rewinds and there are no playbacks. We just have to move forward, forget a little maybe and learn to forgive, most especially if it’s yourself that you would want to forgive.

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You
I do not love you except because I love you; / I go from loving to not loving you, / From waiting to not waiting for you

I want you to know / one thing. / You know how this is:

XVII (I do not love you...)
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, / or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. / I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
