And I know that you don't know,
That I know you.
And I didn't know that I'll say this,
But tonight I wish upon the stars for you.
I wish the moon to grant me you.
And I know that you'll never know,
That I'm writing for you.
Because when I see you,
I don't believe my eyes,
I don't believe a sight could ever be so mesmerizing.
What are you hiding?

And I know that you don't know,
Your smile hypnotizes me,
You laugh magnetizes my gaze at you.
And I didn't know that I'll say this,
But today I ask the skies above
I ask the God above to see you.
And I know that you'll never know
That I'm writing for you.
Because when i see you,
I don't believe my eyes,
I don't believe a sight could ever be so bewitching.
What are you feeling?

And I know that you don't know,
That your words captivate me,
Whatever you say just makes me day.
And I didn't know that I'll say this,
But now I want to step on the land you step,
Drink the water you drink,
Do whatever you say,
Go wherever you tell,
I know this sounds like a fool,
But trust me, I am not one.
And I know that you'll never know,
That I'm writing for you.
Because I am in love,
In love with you,
And it is hard to tell,
What is the reason though.

And when I look at you,
My heart beats and beats,
And repeats and repeats,
Your Name.

Numb

Lost souls
Hidden beneath
I Crawl in pain
Leisurely he breathes.
Tears fall,
Smiles are faked
Roses have thorns
Petals are burnt
Sunlight is dark
Darkness feels light
The devil kisses every inch of hers
The snow feels warm
And the wind feels cold
It's numb she knows
It's a story no one has ever told.

Winner

The turmoil of emotions
Is taking over me,
I guess again your words
Are winning over me,
Those bars of love,
I'm caged behind them
I won't survive anymore
And now it's time to end.
I've seen my lost soul cries in a corner
And now it's time for me say goodbye
Everything you did is taking over me.
Now you are winning over me.

I fear time

Someone asked me recently,
What's my biggest fear
Or what scares me until I die.
I thought and thought
Over and over again.
Couldn't come up with an answer,
What is it that scares me the most.
Was it the life I loved or the life I lost,
The fear of losing my 'reputation' .
Or maybe not being 'perfect' was what haunted my heart.
Maybe losing him was something I never wanted,
Or revealing my bare skin behind the clothes.
Maybe staying all alone was something I feared,
Or maybe falling off of this mask that I always wear.
But then I heard ' it ' ticking in my ears
It echoed like the strings of a viola.
I looked at my aging hand
And saw it glimmering in the sunlight,
It was showcasing the ' time '.
Second by second I knew it was passing, the happy moment of my life,
And minute by minute I knew it was coming, the death was waiting at my door.
Hour by hour I was fading away,
Day by day they were leaving me.
And when death came to embrace me,
I smiled for I knew it was ' time ' that I feared.

Time death happy fear scared haunted

Just another woman.

Her effervescent soul was searching for a nonchalant voice to speak for her,
Dwindling the songs she's never heard before,
Wishing upon the stars to be independent from her own barriers.
She was rising from the flames of the fury that burned inside her.
Strong she was, she wanted to show.
Fearless ahead she wanted to go.
A place for herself she wanted in this world,
An abode where the sun would never set and the stars would never go.
She was just another woman fighting for her rights, believing she'll get them someday.

Thirty but Seventeen

And she's still standing there,
On the shore of her memories.
With her lost dreams and forgotten laughs,
With her vanished hope and obliviated time.
With her stolen reminisces and extinct days.
In the blink of an eye, the time flew by,
In the flash of an eye, the seventeen year old grew up, why...
And she's still standing there,
Slowly sinking down the earth.
Wondering when did she lose it all.
When did she lose her smile,
When did she lose her mother's hug.
When did she lose her golden days,
When did she lose her life.
When did she turn thirty.
In the blink of an eye, the time flew by,
In the flash of an eye, the seventeen year old grew up, why...

The korean drama 'Thirty but Seventeen' inspired me to write this.

Son of Death

I saw her eyes, pure and white
I never saw her face because she warned I might go blind.
I never saw her smile, not even once in a lifetime.
She warned me not to go near earthlings
For people, as far as she told, hated us.
I didn't know why,
My mother and me were detested so much.
Maybe because we were rich, for we could take anything we wanted.
Humans, she told would avoid and fear our arrival.
Why did their lips never formed curves to welcome us,
I wondered.
'Oh!' They say,
'Death brings misery with herself'
But of course, a mother would take her child with herself,
wherever she goes.
