Afire Love..
Isabelle Apr 2016
Picture perfect memories
Hanging on the wall
All burnt, all turned into ashes
We tried to run back to the fire
But there is nothing left to save

But baby, it isn't the fire that killed us
It is the lack of fire in our love that burnt us
The fire has gone, died
Frozen hearts, cold feelings
Can't we lit the fire again?
I'd rather be burn with your love
Can't we lit the fire again?

Changeling..
Isabelle Apr 2016
I was like a high school student
Afraid of leaving my comfort zone
Afraid of change and adjustment
Afraid of what awaits, the unknown

But this is reality, this is real life
I chose to work in a corporate world
So I have to deal with it like its my wife
And wait how my life will unfold

I am a grown up now
A professional, dealing with business people
Being stupid is not allowed
And it kinda freaks me somehow

Because I act stupid sometimes
And I am a bit antisocial too
Sorry for the rumblings. i don't know how to end this one, and my mind was so drained right now, so i'll leave it like this. Written date: 11:16pm, Friday, April 29, 2016

NBSB (5-7-5)

No boyfriend since birth
is it a good or bad thing,

Fitting in the mold?
Isabelle Apr 2016
Again, you are trying to fit in
And I always dreaded that feeling
But then, as they say, change is inevitable
I have to accept it like I don't have a choice at all

So yeah, I will definitely try
Not to fit in the mold
But to keep my shape and smile
Just be myself and be bold
Don't just try to fit,
at least create or build a space for yourself. But still, keep the RESPECT and accept the differences. Written date: 9:16pm, Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Isabelle Apr 2016
Pushed the button to 6th floor
With my new dress, new hairstyle
Plus my most winsome smile
Cheerfully, i opened the door

Shocked expressions upon my entrance
Wide eyes, stares of awe
Made me feel like I was in trance
"I know, I look wow"

That moment took quite long
They start to eye me like I don't belong
Then I also start to comprehend
I do not know the faces of these men

Slowly, the smiles turns into a loud burst of laughters
My face, form blazing red to color of ashes
As I realized I was in the wrong room
To save myself, I laughed along with them

With an apology
I tried to exit gracefully
All the confidence I gather for today
Was all at once eaten away
Because I was a fool
For entering a wrong room
I promised myself to write at least 1 prose/poem a day. I didn't break that promise, yet. I wrote worry yesterday but wasn't able to post it. (Busy bee at work). And I guess I wouldn't be able to post my poems until Saturday. Written date : 10:54pm, Tuesday, April 26, 2016.

They Are Not You
Isabelle Apr 2016
Line of boys
In front of my door
Each bringing flowers, chocolates
Sugarcoated words and promises
All for my sweet yes

But I don't even look at them
Because they were not you
I pushed them away
Because they were not you
They tried to pursue me
I tried to pursue you

Line of boys
In front of my door
I told them to go
Because they were not *you
Yea, they are not you..

Pick up your own Shit
Isabelle Apr 2016
When you stumble and fall
lose the brawl
and needs to crawl
Just look at the mirror
and you will see a savior

When you cry in pain
because they're all feign
and vain
Just look at the mirror
and you will see a savior

When you are alone at night
because they fight
and you wanted to plight
Just look at the mirror
and you will see a savior

Learn to be brave
and go with the wave
because in the end
they'll all gonna leave
so pick up your own ****
An old poem of mine. Yeah, I have learnt to save myself.

Very Cliche
Isabelle Apr 2016
I wish I am her
I wish I can hold you again
I wish I can touch you again
I wish I can kiss your lips again
I wish I can taste your mouth again

I wish I am her
I wish the stares are for me
I wish the flowers are for me
I wish the letters are for me
I wish the "i love you's" are for me

But darling, I know
When we're together
You wished that she was me
You wished that I was her
You would not choose me either. I will never become her. Rebound.

Beautiful Goodbye
Isabelle Apr 2016
Let me dance into your lullaby
While you say your beautiful goodbye
I will smile 'til I breakdown and cry
For tomorrow I won't believe in your lies
And I promise I'll be over you soon
For I swear you are up to no good
Another beautiful goodbye, my love..

Unsent Letters
Isabelle Apr 2016
Instead of sending, I burnt all the letters I have written for you
Thinking that what I wrote there will turn into ashes too
Wishing that my feelings will disappear into the scorching flame
But the fire betrays me, as the letters are burning, I am burning too
It becomes worse and it only doubles the pain
How can I burn those memories without burning myself too?
I was burning too...

Crab Mentality
Isabelle Apr 2016
Watching, waiting
Not for success, but to your downfall
They're all listening
So they know when to break your wall

Friend or foe, they will come to you
You will never know who is who
They will smile, shake your hand
Even hug you like you're grand

But you would not know
Like a crab, they will pull you down
Or climb with you
Then get pass through you

The cheers are nothing but a show for you
The shaking of the hands will only betray you
The smiles will slowly poison you
The hugs will slowly **** you

Beware is nothing but a word
Jealousy, Envy
Somehow, that is how life works
Random. Tell me if life is fair.

Cycle..
Isabelle Apr 2016
Loving you is~

A cycle of mistakes and forgiveness
A cycle of honesty and lies
A cycle of fights and sweetness
A cycle of promises and broken promises
A cycle of love and pain
A cycle of you and me
Loving you is a cycle, unending
A cycle of You and Me
Never to end, let us be.

All I Ask by Adele

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?
I do not own any of these. I'll be posting lyrics from songs I wished I had written. So basically, songs that I find beautiful or those that I can relate too.

Not Over You..

Never a past tense

I still love you
Over and over again

It's A Beautiful Day
Isabelle Apr 2016
Notice the sun, it's beaming with delight
Look at the sky, oh the crystal clear blue sky
Busy bee ******* a flower
Love birds humming together
Feel the air in your face
Do not mind your messy hair


It's a beautiful day,
I can't help but smile
Greet everyone in your way
and spread the good vibes
Stay positive. It's a beautiful day.

Race to the Top
Isabelle Apr 2016
Everybody is running
it is a race to the top
be careful with the cunning
and be ready for a flop


Because it is a race to the top
You'll be needing a strategy
either a friend or an enemy
that soon you will drop
because of jealousy


Some will pass you by
then stub you in the eye
Some will push you down
then will take your crown
Some will lend a hand
only to drop you and it's planned


The way to the summit
will never be facile
sure there are scummy
do not be fragile


That is the way to the top
Just play the game
clean and *****
it will never be fair
Another old poem of mine. It speaks reality.

Little by Little
Isabelle Apr 2016
Little by little,
You will crave my touch darling
Just like how the sea water needs to collide the shore

Little by little,
You will realize that you need me darling
Just like how your lungs need an air to breath

Little by little,
You will fall in-love with me darling
Just like how the stars are gradually falling from the sky

And I will patiently wait for you darling
Just don't take too long
Or else, little by little
*I'll realize I don't want you anymore
And I finally remember how to forget you. Little by little.

Is It Wrong?
Isabelle Apr 2016
Ms. Yin, meets Mr. Yang
Heaven and hell, it's a bang
I can hear the angels' sweet voices
But tempting is the devil's whispers
To whom shall I pray,
to blow the tedious night away?
To whom shall I listen,
to see the far glisten?

The angel promised a paradise,
told me to be kind and take each sacrifice
The sinister said, like the sun I will arise,
power and might, but you know the price

I admit, sometimes I'm losing hope
wanted to confess and talk to the pope
But then, an ill voice spoke
told me to get a rope or a dope
When I want an easy way out,
I listen to the ill voice, even in doubt
When my angel seems to abandon me,
In the darkness I flee

Is it immoral to stick to the dark side,
when fading is your guiding light?
Is it wrong to cling to the dark side,
when you find comfort in it and just want to hide?
Yep, sometimes i find comfort in darkness..

Manic Monday

Monday, oh Monday
How I hate Mondays
Lazy to leave my bed
That's why I came late
Could not keep up with my boss
Could not gather my thoughts
Start the week right,
never a motto of mine
So I guess my whole week be like
A 5 Mondays, and yeah, that doesn't sound fine.
Paradoxically. Happy Monday!

No title
Isabelle Apr 2016
I have taken the path to isolation,
with a fearful heart and a jaded soul
Definitely, it is not a vacation,
but to find out, what was stole


It is a fight-
towards self destruction,
towards self-inflicted pain,
feeding myself a dose of depression
mind you, it's a pleasing mental game


But my fragments are made of frailty
and my mind always betrays me
there is always a lingering shadow
and I am fearing the unknown


They say it's just all in the mind
What can I do, my mind is a disaster
So I decided to go away and find
what my mind can't master


So yeah, I have taken the path to isolation
No need to say good bye,
I'll come back when it's over
I'll come back when I'm whole
Random. Maybe it was my subconscious.

Don't ask me why I stop giving you attention,

So please don't ask me why I left
When in the first place, you never asked me to stay.

It Cost Her Heart
Isabelle Apr 2016
Piece by piece she picked herself up
Glued each broken parts, until she's whole again
There are holes and cracks
But still, she's functional
Soon her soul will recover
Soon her wounds will heal


And when the healing process is over
She will be the best version of herself
Braver, a stronger one, unbreakable
No more rivers of tears
No more sad lullabies
No more breaking hearts


Yes she will recover,
But her heart will turn into a stone
She will never be the same gain.

When the music stops,
I'll still dance with you
When the world is insincere,
I'll still believe in you
When you feel tired,
I'll carry you around
When you cry in pain,
I'll save you from your tears
When no one hears you scream,
I'll scream with you

Just put your heart in my hands,
You'll be safe here
Inspired by the song You'll Be Safe Here.

Nothing for today..
Isabelle Apr 2016
Before I tucked myself to bed last night
I made sure my muse was safely locked
This morning, I thought I was blinded by light
But my muse was really gone! Shocked!

Frantic, I ran all over my room
To search for my runaway muse
I need to find it or else I'll be doomed
Because my muse, I can not lose

All I did today was searching
Pen and paper, scratch, edit, revise
Blurred lines, incoherent thoughts, all formed nothing
Words, I can't compromise

So if you find this a nonsense
Blame it to me and my missing muse
As much as I want to make sense
I could not because my mind, I can't use
So yeah, I've got nothing for today.

Choose Love
Isabelle Apr 2016
My mother once said to me; there are two kinds of men you'll meet. The first will give you the life you want and the second will give you the love you desire. If you're one of the lucky few, you will find both in the one person. But if you ever find yourself having to choose between the two, then always choose love. ----Choose Love, Lang Leav

______________________________________________________­__

He asked her
"Am I the first or the second man?"


She just smiled at him and said
"What's the difference, hon?"


"Am I giving you the life you want, or
giving you the love you desire?"



This time she sighed heavily and answered
"You don't always give me the life I wanted,
You don't always give me the love I desired"


He became sad upon hearing her words
"Is that so? Then why are you still with me?"


"Because I chose you, and when I did,
I also chose the love and life that comes along with you"*


And that is all he needs to hear
Smiling, he said to her
"When I chose you Hon, I chose Love and Life too"
Is it a matter of choice? It all boils down to Love after all..

Just go with the flow..
Isabelle Apr 2016
The ocean current was strong
I could not find my way home
I was floating for so long
in this ocean, alone

The wind, it's not a zephyr
I'm almost to sever
Could not fight the wave
So I have to face and be brave

Sometimes its dragging me up and down
One moment I almost drown
Sometimes it leads me nowhere
And I'm feeling hopeless I swear

But since I've been floating for so long
And able to breath for another furlong
Maybe I just have to go on
Stop battling, just hold on

If this was my fate
and I could not escape
Maybe I just have to go on
And just watch how my show goes on
That feeling when you wanted to fight, but you JUST CAN'T.

To waste beautiful flowers

Why She Writes
Isabelle Apr 2016
She writes about sadness
to console herself
to find another who can relate

She writes about peace
to feel it even just by ink
to feel tranquility amidst adversity

She writes about love
because she's in love
and she fell out of love

She writes about bitterness
because she lacks in sweetness
and her life is a mess

She writes about hope
asking what it is
wishing there really is

She writes about lust
to experience the pleasure
of pleasuring herself

She writes,
to surpass the limitations of her understanding
to fake reality
to cover lies
to correct mistakes
to lessen the pain
to share the burden

She writes,
To expose her soul
She writes,
To fool herself
She writes,

Her Name
Isabelle Apr 2016
This morning will be a different one, for he will meet a girl
With an auburn eyes, a winsome smile and a hair that is curl
Strange she is, but in a beautiful kind of strange

The boy will stop and stare, will be lost in her haunting sad eyes
She will not notice, and will never knew, that cupid has
shot the boys young heart

The boy found a reason to go out every morning
To see her again, he was hoping
For her smile becomes the sun that brightens his day

He will sit from afar, and with an admiring eyes, just watch her
She paints, she reads, and sometimes plays with her dog's fur
He will silently watch and enjoy the beautiful scenario

It goes for almost a week
"I must be crazy, why do I stalk this chic?"
But he doesn't know the answer

All he know is, the girl brings peace to his heart
Her eyes and smiles are a piece of a pure art
and her laughs are a song to his ears

He could not explain it, watching her makes him happy
and sends a warm chill to his heart, very fancy
"I need to know her name"

The next day, the boy waited in vain
But the girl never came
"I'll wait again tomorrow"

It's been a week, but she never showed up again
In his chest a sadness and pain
Could not accept, she looked for the girl

He found out that the girl loves to paint
But the smell of the chemical will cause her to faint
That's why she sneaks out and do it once in a while

He found out that the girl loves reading
But her eyes failed her, every letters are dancing
That's why she sneaks out and pretends to read

He also found out that her hair was just a wig
And her red lipstick was to hide her pale lips
And finally he found out her name








With a sound of a breaking heart
He reads her name
*On her graveyard

Not Destined to be Together
Isabelle Apr 2016
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
