You are so sweet
You passerby
But there is more to me
Than what meets the eye

A visitor to my cage
You look at me with awe
But you do not see the truth
You did not see the rise and fall

I am an animal
And you gawk at me
Through the bars
To you I am a star

You are a happy visitor
I am a tortured beast
You do not see what happens when the lights turn off
You cannot know what I need

I need freedom to see
The truth of this world
I want to be free
Please leave me be

Some people are bound to meet each other,
but never destined to be together..
~Unknown*



We both thought that we will have a happy ending,
But it was just an "ending"
This ain't a fairy tale
I agree, that life isn't always fair


We may not be together now,
But memories of you, in my heart I still allow
As they always say,
Some people in our lives, are not meant to stay


Still, I am thankful
For I met a person like you
and experienced a once in a lifetime love
Witnessed by the sky and stars above
Our love story will forever linger in the winds
Our laughters will still echo in our minds
Our tears will still pour through the rains
And I will try to keep us, whatever remains
Even just in my memories
Bittersweet,
Cruel is the game of fate
The day the world stood still
I stood still with it
The sirens pumped their noise into my ears
But i couldn't hear it
I couldn't even hear my own scream, a breathy sob of your name

Someone tried to hold me
Whispering comforting words
But the whispers sounded like needless sympathy
The people that gathered near
Trying to whisper to me
Don't know you
They don't know that when you died
The world stood still
And I stood still with it

— The End —
