As you read this
I’m pretty sure that it would seem a bit familiar to you
Probably because of the guilt that rises from your throat
For not approaching me back
The moment when our paths had finally crossed
Actually, I was just waiting
For you to do something
But all you did was stood still
Blank eyes, jaw-dropped, and fists closed

If only you knew how unsettled I am
That for every millisecond of the day
My mind roams through yours
As I try to fathom bits and pieces of your thoughts
Trying to build an illusion
In order for us to form a percussion

Maybe was it all bloated in my dreams
Covered with clouds of fear that dim
Popping and popping til’ it starts to compose a hymn
Hoping and hoping to see once again from him

If my heart was a bouquet of flowers,
The pungent smell from sitting too long would be their scent.
If life was a box of chocolates
Mine would be left with only white chocolate and mint.

If you were a type of wine,
You’d be the dry kind that burns my throat.
If our relationship was coffee,
It would be tainted with burnt espresso.

But I…I’m like a bird.
The type of bird that comes back home.
And you are the eagle.
Always wanting to be alone.

All I ask for is attention…
Love isn’t money, it’s time.
Lonely, sad, unloved…
All of these feelings are mine.

You never seem to care.
I could cry and you would laugh.
I guess I could leave again.
Just to turn around and come back.

Baby we're broken and baby we're done.
We've had our good times and boy they were fun.
But now we must go on our separate ways
We both know, no love is left if one of us stays
So baby live your life and live it with a smile
Lets stop being fake and living in denial
We both made this choice and we both got to agree
That we both would stay friends and live happily
I'm not your Cinderella at least not anymore
You're not my Prince Charming who found a shoe on the floor
Baby this isn't Disney, life isn't like the cartoons
So lets not treat each other like mindless buffoons
Thank you for the effort and baby thank you for the time
Hugs, kisses and farewell this will be my last rhyme.

Her eyes brighten my soul.
They give me direction in each new day.
The Hope that was dwindling away
Is restored when I look in Her eyes.

When I first saw this mysterious  guy
I thought my heart stopped
I tried to ignore it for a while
But I failed to
So I tried to let it stay that way
In fact, I almost forget to breathe

Every week, I get to have a chance
To take a look at him for a couple of minutes
Though a little bit from a far
And a chance to listen to him as well
Because he's actually a musician too

As he tried to press every key from that  piano
I can feel that
It matches perfectly to the rhythm my heart beats

Then one time, our eyes met
I got no choice, but to quickly lose my gaze
But suddenly I cannot
So we stared quite for a while
But sad to say that’s just it
I meant like a painting where you only get a chance to appreciate such
As you look carefully through it
And funny to say, that’s simply how we did it
I fall in love
because I am afraid to be alone
You don't know how much
How much I care for you
And even if you said you hated me
I will always love you
Sometimes, all it takes to deliver a message is one stanza ;)
