without you,
time is moving
a bit slower
lights are fading
a bit quicker

without you,
days
never
seems
complete

time will heal
and silently
collect the scars
that are
meant to be
left in the past

after all
love
simply isn't enough
to make us last.

there was a king
a pretty princess
but no queens

sometimes, i wish i’m icarus,
soaring to impossible aspirations,
crossing undefined boundaries,
spreading out my homemade wings,
consumed in the thoughts of kissing the sky,
risking everything just to test unwritten limits,
to see just how close i could possibly get
before plummeting back to the ground.

city of stars
shining on broken hearts
twinkling with kindness on
unforgiving mistakes and regrets

city of hearts
too many aching with pain
chasing fading ideals
waiting for true love

city of stars
each unwilling to be the one left behind
the ones with fading flairs,
melancholy hung in the air

city of stars
are you shining just for me?

sing someone else’s tunes and call it self expression
i’m sorry
you don’t even know you
yet claim to speak the truth
that’s desperation
