Ripped apart a piece of me
Tried to show my vulnerability

Now I'm wounded and hurting
Hardly anyone is ever noticing

So for a while I'll be in isolation
Try to stop this aching sensation

For time heals wounds they say
There will come a better day

What sets the great apart?
Raw skill, sheer talent?
Hard work, determination?
Passion, perseverance?
Focus, unbending will?
Maybe a bit of luck?

It is the character my dear
Confidence without arrogance
Be still and humble my friend
Knowledge favors those who yearn for it

Spent my day feeling something's missing
Woke up late and you're all I'm remembering
Did the laundry while doing a lot of thinking
A familiar sensation suddenly starts ringing
Your presence is one thing I'm not forgetting
There's joy in my heart when I see you smiling
Making you happy is one of my life's calling
Everytime I look at you I just keep wondering
How I ended up with such luck, it's amazing
The thought of you is the treasure I'm keeping
Everything about you I just can't stop longing
And all these words have only one meaning
I can't own you, your life is yours for the taking
But there's a part of me in you that I'm leaving
That's why if I have the choice, it's you I'll always be holding
I love you and every single thing about you, Mai everything

What should I say?
Is there something I can do?
I don't know the reason
But something's troubling you

Your mind is in pieces
Your spirit is shattered
Your body is aching
And I know you are tired

I can't do anything
I feel like I'm powerless
But I hope my words reach you
And you'll come to your senses

Be strong but take a rest
Be kind, as you've always been
Be brave but careful
And still love ever so genuine

You're gorgeous, you're beautiful
And ever so wonderful
You're obviously amazing
And you inspire the hopeful

These words may not mean much
But they're all I have to offer
So I hope you'll shine even brighter
When the rain is finally over

I see emptiness in her eyes as she slowly loses her self.
So much sorrow, so much pain, that her smile can no longer disguise.
I feel the bitterness engulf her and the loss of the will to live.
And I remember that it hurt. It hurt more than it should.
To see her so broken and lifeless and devoid of passion.
I couldn't do anything but hope my words will get through her.
That somehow, she'll muster the strength she needs to overcome.
That the tribulations and things she struggle with are temporary.
I tried telling her that despite all the hardships, I got her back.
But the words won't come out right because deep inside I know I love her.
And I love her enough to selfishly want her to live a life she won't regret.
Someone please tell me, will things eventually get better?
If not, will somebody give her happiness in exchange for my own?

She might think she's lackluster
But he absolutely beg to differ
He thought "how would she know?"
When there's more than what a mirror can show
He can stare at her any given moment
Hoping she doesn't stare back or he'll die of embarrassment
Oh how his heart flutters when her hair flips
Bewildered! Like he's going to exciting trips
A glimpse of her is all he needs to light up the day
And her smiles drive all his worries away

All these lines, cliche as they may seem
Is a mere fragment of his wonderful daydream
For no amount of words can simply describe
The value she holds that in his heart she'll inscribe
And like sparkling stars in a cold, lonely night
Amidst total darkness she'll give off her light
She may not be the most beautiful woman in the world
But she's the perfect masterpiece in his life that will manifold
