The dark sky whistles a midnight tune
The breeze caressing her cheeks
Her cigarette burning in between her fingers
As she started to sing

She sang songs
That reminded her of you
Flaming youthful emotions
Sincere and true

A single tear trails gently down her face
As she whispers the line
To the midnight sky

*I miss you...

A word too strong to contain its own promise
Yet a gift so mighty
A word too vulnerable to face another
Yet willingly we send forth

A word which holds ultimate significance
Never to be used so easily
A word that carries the universe
Packaged so nicely

Where would this word stand in reality?
Does anyone believe in it?
Is it...
Kindness
Soft-heartedness
Naivety...
...Or just plain stupidity?

Dips of sweet chocolate
Like sugary words said so much
The start of the sketch
With you in my heart

Dip by dip
Stroke by stroke
A clear heart written on the plate
With the remains of the chocolate fondue
**As I think of you

Various conflicts
Under similar pain
The wrenching in the heart
Unable to explain

Gazes of understanding
Wordless dialogues
Taking nothing for granted
A mind filled with complicated thoughts

Watery hues
Breathless chokes
Tonight, my dear
*I'll still hold you close

As the theme park gate opens
Sounds of excitement filled the compound
Little children, teenagers, grown ups
Crowding the lines to rides and snack bars

Joyful chatters
Nonstop laughters
Screams of thrill
Cheeky giggles

I go in circles to bring joy
Especially when I stop for the ones at the highest point
The smiles on their faces
Feeling like they are on the top of the world

Yet...

A lone stranger wanders around
Climbed into one of the pods
Locked himself in there
His eyes watching the scenery blankly

Tears started rolling down his cheeks
Meekly, gently, discreetly
But I see it
I feel the droplets
As it drips almost too carefully..

I felt his pain
The sadness within
So maybe...
Just maybe...
The peak would comfort him
It will give the best view
I'll provide it

But...

The round will have to end
I'll have to bring him back down to the ground
And he will have to return home

Please...
Can we go for another round?
Just one more...
So I could show him that view that I can provide
Just one more time...
Even if his tears would rust me
Or even if it means he still has to leave
At least I know
And I'll remember

*I've made him happy
