Magic
LightShade Jun 2019
He was a magician
  but he saw the magic in her eyes

A trick only cupid knows
  and once he was convinced

He got fooled again
  It wasn't real

It was all slight of Happiness
  with nights of Tears

Roll up his sleeves
  show your hands clean

Once eyes are on you
  your magic sets in
Love or Trickery

Me and Her
LightShade Jun 2019
I loved her
  she was the constant reminder of me
How she makes me happy
  she knew me
When I'm at my darkest she was there

But I'm afraid of her
  she's always there
I look at the mirror
  she'd hug me from behind
I tell her to leave me
  but she loves me enough for me to die
I tell her I love her
  displeases her taste
I knew I had to run away
  but she said this was my fate

in the end I couldn't escape
   Me and the darkness that was Her.
You need to escape it sometimes, but she just can't let go.

I wanted to speak to you

I wanted to voice out to you
   in songs
I who just wanted to
   be with you

Forever
If only i could say it

This moment
  Seeing you today

I'll brink back the days
  When you didn't mean
       this much to me

I'll bring it back
               . . .
I'll bring it back

How to Let go...
LightShade Oct 2017
There was a boy who never knew anything, and met a girl who taught her these things.

She taught him, how to smile and be happy, filled with wonder and joy.

She taught him how to love and he as well loved her too.

Filling him with shared memories of them two

She taught him how to hold on, and have a good grip, so that he won’t fall.

Suddenly, she disappeared leaving him, hanging on.

The boy was growing weary, he was in so much pain in clasping to the pieces

That will never fit back together

And then, in midst of pain, hurt, sorrow, agony and loneliness

In time, He learned…

How to let go
It wasn’t easy for the boy

Now he has to learn how to
s t a r t  over…
Teach me how to let go...

Expecting
LightShade Oct 2017
Why is that when we truly love someone
We give them everything we got
And never expect anything in return
...
But that's the painful part
We never recieve anything back

Run
LightShade Sep 2017
Run
--------------
It will always happen
         The thrill of running wild
Living free and forgotten
         For all the temptation and desires
But somewhere along
         When our hair didn’t feel the wind
We gasp and slowly…
          Slowly…
Walking, and turn around
          To see how far we can distance ourselves
From that we ran away from
          No matter how far
We still look back at it
          No matter how many times we run
We still remember it
          The excitement in steps
That didn’t need speed
Run wild and free

She keeps re-reading her book

And recites the page about him

She no longer has the will to see the end

Now make her believe

Free her from the pain

Beyond the sheet

No matter how many stay by your side

You can't count the true ones from the lies

In the end that's all the matters

at the peak of dawn
You're no one
You're alone

Voice out

I do not want to be your echo

saying everything in repeat

I want to be your voice

saying the things that should be
voice out the truth...

Best Memories
LightShade Sep 2017
I will never forget
When I talked too you all summer long
And we watched the sunset as we gaze upon the stars

I will never forget
That tears that flowed down your cheeks
And as you wave your hand with all your strength

I will never forget
From the bottom of your heart I know you said "thank you"
And you smiled at me, I suddenly felt lonely

I will never forget
The best memories we shared… the best
When you were still here.

I will never forget
But I think you already forgotten
What I remembered so well.

I will never give up
The best memories…the last.
When it was still the best.
Best memories, but memories...

Heart's Reach
LightShade Sep 2017
He’s got all my dreams
every single one every night

He’s got all my hopes
Keeps it lock, shut and tight

He’s got all I am
And nonetheless

He was never worthy of it
And yet he has it

My dreams, my hope and me
He keeps it safe within his

heart’s reach.

Hello
LightShade Sep 2017
Hello me
Are you still reminded of your heart?

Hello heart
Are you still reminded of your tears?

Hello eyes who are crying
Are you reminded of your memories?

Hello memories
Are you reminded of him?

Hello you
Do I remind of you of anything?

I knew the answer…

It was always nothing

I was always nothing.

Hello future love
Are you still coming?

First to Spotlight
LightShade Sep 2017
Spotlight, that was the area of everything in the stage
where everyone's eyes would follow that gleam of light
that is where you have danced
your feet were afloat in the clouds
while your head was in a crown
A prince swaying in life for his princess
and in that spotlight she appeared before me.
Time to stop being the slow kind of person

His mask lies no more
LightShade Sep 2017
I dreamt about hero he was cloaked in gallant robes

He flew up greatly to the clouds floating by

Amazed and purely dazzled by the mask figure

I was awoken by an alarm clock ready to start my future

And then his big hands swiped me making me soar

“Daddy’s own angel, his little girl”

So I went up to visit as years has passed

My hero lies no mask but resting up in heavens so high
For every  hero in her daughter's eyes

Lost and Founded
LightShade Sep 2017
I lost something dear to me
And with it my memories
Like how I lost you
And with you my heart as well
I lost my smile I can’t find it
And along with it my happiness
I lost the reason to truly be inlove
As I knew I failed to give you up
I lost the courage to fall again
Because I’m still falling for you
I lost everything
Cause you were that everything
I lost myself
I don’t know the path back
I lost my heart along the way
Can you search it?
I found everything
When you found me.

“Why is that your lucky number is four, when that’s unlucky to some”

“Four is the number to a word called love
And at the same time the number of letters in hate…
But I believe I’m lucky when I loved someone who hated me”

I bit my lip and muttered under my breath “I never hated you…but she did.”

“And so I’m getting married to that girl who once hated me.”

I wished you could’ve hated me, but I don’t know what I’ll do
When the person I love the most would feel the exact opposite
So now I’m unlucky to the number of the letters of love and hate.

“My favorite number is four now… thanks to you.”

“Why? Do you love someone who hates you?”

“It’s the opposite, I hate him, cause he won’t love me, even though I know his heart is captured already.”

“I want to hate you now but it’s too late…” and then I walked four steps away from him.

cause she was already there just four steps behind with the white gown of hers.

— The End —
