I looked up the sky,
hearing your voice as if it was my sweet lullaby.
Reminiscing the days we've spent,
imagining what it could have been.

Our sweetest "I love you's",
turned to such bitter "I hate you's".
I could have stayed if you want me to,
But as long as you refuse to understand me, this will not work between us two.

The lesson I learned is not fearing to love again,
but rather that some people are worth letting go despite the pain.
Moving on is the hardest thing yet the most wisest thing to do.

You are lost,
the moment you give in to the temptation.

You are hurt,
the moment you give up on that happiness.

You are sad,
the moment you hold on to that past that shackles you.

You are happy,
the moment you let go of the little things that bother you.

You are free,
the moment you set your mind at rest and not be bother by everything.

You are healed,
the moment you break down your pride and ask for forgiveness.

You are strong,
for the times you were able to forgive those who have hurt you.

Within the castle of her facade,
she keeps her heart hidden.
Protected with her fragile body,
not letting it fall on the wrong hands.
For it was as fragile as glass,
one wrong move can break it apart.
But that heart as sharp as broken glasses,
can cut the fault of the one who broke it.

That is why she protects it,
in order not to hurt anyone who'll touch it.
Maybe not all, but some of us are afraid to give our sincerity, our heart and our whole being to someone. Because we have that mindset that people will leave, will hurt you and take that part of you as they break it.

Can you feel it?
Can you see it?
We have monsters inside us,
Every day, and every night we can't let our guard down.

Can you hear it knocking at the doorstep of your fears?
Telling you to let it in, and that you have nothing to fear.
Waiting patiently in the shadows of your happiness,
It will attack once you are consumed with your own sadness.
We all have that dark side of us, that we might never get away from. And that is the reason we get stronger.

The way you touch me,
makes it looks like you're touching something fragile.
But this twisted fairy tale of ours,
looked like wilted flowers.

But...

The more you took care of me,
the more cruel you destroy me.
Every love story will either end happily or sadly.

Every drop of one's tears,
contain thousands of emotions.
Left dried up by one's pillow every night,
lips that are bitten so sobs won't come out.
Just so no one will hear,
that something is wrong.

Swallowed by one's own swirling emotions,
is like being drowned to the deepest part,
making you unable to cry out for help,
and all you can do is cry and cry and cry.

One, two, three...
I wake up again to this reality,
Dull smiles, fake faces that insist to hide.
For people tend to cover what they really feel inside.

Hey...
Didn't you feel the world already ended?
Don't you notice that the usual excitements have already faded?
To this game we have played we've been already defeated.

Hush...
Don't cry...
No one will see your tears.
Wear your mask,
it's alright...
This world has already been swallowed with fears.

This chain that restricted us to fly up high,
To feel the breeze and the horizon on the line of this endless sky.
We are dancing in the palm of this cruel reality,
Driving us to the end of our innocence and sanity.
Reality can be harsh at times, it will come at us without any warning. I always felt that, I lost that excitement feeling whenever I discover something new or events happens. Maybe it's because the world is changing and so do us.

People will reach out to you,
for they want to earn your trust.
But there's something inside you,
telling you...

"Are you gonna trust that person?...
Sooner or later, you'll end up disappointed again,
so it's better to shut the door and lock it...
Don't let anyone in."

For your heart was far too damage,
it can be fixed...But not the way it used to be.

It's okay to make mistakes,
You are only human.
We are not perfect, we are full of flaws.
However, that does not mean that we must repeat those mistakes countless of times.
That is the reason why chances are given to us,
to correct the things that we have failed to fix.
We cannot go back to change the things we have done,
But we can do better in the future to prevent it from happening again.

It's okay to cry, sometimes our emotion will bottle up until we can no longer contain them.
Crying does not define you being weak, it shows that you are only human that have emotions you want to express.

It's okay.

Happy 'hi's, bitter 'goodbyes'
One wrong move,
And just like that
You're gone, along with your promises

In this kingdom of solitude,
imagination comforts me.
Twaffle Apr 2019
I fixed you, yet you broke me,
I stayed, but you left me
You promised, then you forgot about it
I'm here for you, but you chose her instead.

I told you my every truth, yet you lied to me.
There will be times that no matter how much you love someone, you will get tired if you're the only one holding on that rope of hope that things will still work out when on the other hand reality keeps slapping you in the face, telling you that it won't anymore.

You gave color to my life,
now without you I'm color blind.

Millions of thoughts, running through my head
Countless tears, these eyes have shed,
Lingering regret hunting my dream,
Taunting nightmares, can you hear my scream?

Millions of words that I want to say
But this mouth of mine, still chooses to shut up
Closing my doors, because no one will stay
Hoping, and waiting, I wish this side of mine would just stop.

You tried fixing him,
far from what it should be.
But every bits of your love,
filled the void of his scars.
And once he was completely healed,
leaving you with nothing but bitter goodbye.

You don't have anyone to rely on,
and the sadness you took away from him,
became your lingering regret and it broke you instead.

The love I gave, was hard to submit
Because I tried so hard, I've got to admit
It's easy to love but hard to move on
For I have never thought of letting you go from now on

The past, I had to deeply dwell
For the reason, I was not prepared to say 'Farewell'
It's hard to accept, it's hard to see
That beside her, you look much more happy

But this is the reality,
Time to step out of this fantasy,
Thank you for the short memories you gave,
I'm sorry I'm not enough. But all of this within me will be engraved.

As white and pure like the snow,
I realized. As I looked back,
some things won't return to how it was.

An innocence that has been tainted,
can't be painted pure white any longer.
Things will change, no matter how much we don't want it.
Twaffle May 2019
As I fall asleep,
I wished to dream of you again.
If this was the only way I can call you mine,
then I'd rather not wake up from this sinful illusion.

Your sweet smile became my remedy,
but once I wake up, as I'm slapped by reality.
I will weep once again,
for you are no longer in my arms.
It's hard to let go of someone especially when you loved them too much, and your memories will hunt you each night.

Enough is enough,
what my mind always say.
When tired of chasing and trying,
to the one I want this love to be conveyed.

But my heart, grasp that hope.
That he will look my way,
Not now, not tomorrow...but maybe someday,
my mind says otherwise,
"In the end, you'll get hurt anyway."
Twaffle Jul 2019
It hurts, every time I hide the fact that I still like you.
It hurts how my heart is still hoping for that chance,
and it hurts that I know you only talk to me when she can't.

Shattered glass, endless scream,
taunting curses and horrifying dreams.
The little girl stares, her dead and clouded eyes
directed to the two arguing figures, spitting truth and lies.

She hugged her stuffed toy, as tight as she could
as she glance at the table served with cold food.
Where did it go?...she wondered,
the loving parents that held both of her hands.

Daddy, the most respectful man she knew,
was now hitting her mother, punching and kicking was now nothing new.
Mommy, the most warm and caring person she have known,
was now spouting bad words at her, with her cold eyes she've shown.

Was it worth it? To argue and yell in front of your child?
To let them see this kind of nightmare that will hunt them for life.
Fighting won't resolve anything, and spitting random curses of words will just destroy 'everything'.

Now tell me, was it worth it?
Many children have been victims of this kind of environment, and unfortunately some of them have strayed to a path they've never wanted to go through.

I worked hard to build up these walls,
for I'm scared to trust again.
I painted different kinds of mask,
for I was tired of being shamed.

But you, you destroyed my walls instead of climbing up,
and you saw through my masks and in this downfall you pulled me up.
Twaffle May 2019
When you told me to let go,
it made me want to hold on to you more than I've ever had.

— The End —
