When I was young
I used to look up to the skies
Thinking, if the birds, which sung
Of its beauty, feel glee as they fly
Would I be able to feel it, too?
If I spread my wings and soar high
What are the things I'll be able to do?

As the moments pass by
Still, the birds fly
My heart had decided
It would do what it wanted
So, quicker than a glance I was up high
I never knew I could touch the sky

Slowly, my lips formed a smile
The breeze was soft against my skin
I loved every bit of this, mile after mile
I don't know how long it has been
Since I left the ground and departed
To this heavenly paradise I always wanted

But all things come to an end
And just as high as I flew, I fell
I waited, but the Gods did not send
A parachute as I descend
This catastrophe, my misery
I could not foretell

Now, I lay on the ground
Thinking, if those songs that resound
Were caused not only by great gaeity
And some birds did not sing so happily
Will I be able to dream of that sky again,
Now that my heart is already sunken?

The inferno, the chaos
It's coming
These memories flooding
Into my head
These thoughts, overwhelming
Gradually destroying
The sanity I have left
All this because of what I've said

The crying, the howling
I can hear them too well
There's no time for trying
They're impossible to repel

The tears, they fall
So did my hope
It's over, after all
Those times of joy
Not one worth to recall

Then, footsteps resound
Amidst the killing silence outside
Peace, I found
As gentle hands wiped my tears
Still, I did not know
Whether to rejoice
Or to listen to that voice

'Choose wisely' were the words
That woman left, unheard
Until now, as my lips trembled
And there I remembered
This place was where I promised
That although all I have has vanished
I swore, I'd try not to leave things unfinished

Ignore the voice
It is your choice
The thing you sought
Cannot be bought

The inferno, the chaos
It's coming
These memories flooding
I hold on to them tightly
Making sure I'm not forgetting
The promise I made
To the angel within
I am afraid
Yet strong, unrelenting

Some people find it melancholic
To run after something they cannot reach
Like running to the horizon like a lunatic
Trying to reach the sun

An abundant number feel the same way
When a person passes by
In front of you, yet far away
Forever stuck in misery

Sometimes I see what others cannot
Her eyes so bright, her smile so wide
Fall in love, I must not
But in my heart, feelings reside

An uncertain future
Can invoke anxiety
But I know that it is better
Than to know the imminent ferocity

I know I can never be hers
And she, never mine
I can never satisfy this thirst
But hopefully, this stubborn heart shall forget

— The End —
