Dilemma
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?

Unfathomed
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

Lovely Sorrow
She loves unconditionally, she fights even when it hurts her the most
She wears a smile on her face but deep down she's somewhat lost
Lost in the endless tears she shed, because of a love she never could forget
A love so great she didn't mind, taking on a path she might regret

But the beauty of her sorrows lies not on how much she paid the price
For what could be greater than a heartfelt desire for a noble sacrifice
She'll continue to love and look like a fool, but who am I to intercede
When I'm just a nobody who share the same foolishness she did

End of Term
I didn't think it would hurt this much
To finally run out of reasons to get in touch
I can only wish I had more moments to share
To at least show you how much I care
Maybe all things must come to an end
Even then I'm still glad and I won't pretend
As school comes to a close and summer draws near
I'll cherish what little time I have left and hold you forever dear

— The End —
