you were intangible, but yet within my grasp.
a grasp of something warm, a breath of fresh air.
we declared that we're meant to be,
after a life known only despair,
we float away from our responsibilities,
even deathly-held stares.

you took of the first layer,
to which i followed in suit,
you called me your saviour,
onwards, our happiness pursuit

alas, our happiness hit an end,
when our woes caused by dear old friend.
the grasps held dearly, begin to loosen,
the path we taken were given, not chosen.

betrayal soaked deeply through your vein,
your distrust in me, delighted our dear old friend.
it was never true to begin with, if only you know,
i faced the darkest night and shadows, all on my own.

I was captivated by the brightest moon in the darkest of night,
A shine forged from despair, woes and fight.
The only moon that shined so bright.  
you were my moon, and i was the night.

The beauty of loving you,
Worth the pain of letting go.
And if for now, you would let me,
I'll love you as much as I could,
with nothing but thoughts of 'if only.'

11:11, make a wish.
for me, I wish, for things to stay the same.
but it was too late.
for when I wish for it to stay the same, it had changed.
I feel the distance, even when we're close.
the effort I place to keep it together,
for it to not change,
was nothing but in vain.
sometimes, I feel like it's one-sided.
That it's only me.
do you feel like we've changed?
Or is it all in my head?
i used to know what to say, what to type and how to react.
now I'm not even sure what to do.
do I say what's on my mind? Can I do this? Should I?
I feel restricted. I used to never limit myself when it comes to you.
But I find myself unconsciously doing it several times.
Before it was something that I do all the time.
i can see myself losing you,
Slowly, bit by bit;
and there's nothing I could do to mend it.
you're the one person I didn't want to lose.
the one who went through everything with me,
the one who keeps by me, truly knows me.
the one I run to, on an autopilot.
i trust you with my soul, my bare self.
i trusted for us to stay the same.
to never change.
but I guess i didn't trust us enough,
for I made the wish, when the clock showed 11:11.
i silently yelled, for the wish to come true.
I guess even in silence, someone heard me.
Because knowing a person's wish, before it is granted,
Will never make it come true.

11:11, make a wish.
My wish, is for you to be happy.
Even if it's without me.
So I'll keep the wish to myself,
Hoping it'll come true.

to my close friend, i will never have the guts to voice this out. But I will soon.

in just a moment I realised that it wasn't worth it.
i've kept my head high, my shoulder straight.
walked through it with a smile, even when it's fake.
i held it in, hoping, believing and wishing it's all okay.
but I know better. It will never be, I started seeing grey.
there's no point in holding it in.
when all I want to do is to let it out.
i couldn't keep my smile on anymore.
eventually, everyone had figured me out.
i held on dearly, a part of me still think we're meant to be.
oh but who was I fooling? No one else but me.
i cried for the times we spent together.
i cried for the days to get better.
i cried yearning for your warmth.
i cried knowing i have to move forth.
but now I smile.
I smiled knowing our memories are one of a kind.
I smiled knowing I would be fine.
I smiled, because I am made for someone else.
You were just there to complete a chapter.
Not the main character.
In this movie we called life, I know what I must do.
Therefore, I will smile, i will strive, and power through.

I'm an athlete.
I can throw and catch,
and run in the sun-
all shiny and bright.
And you just sleep, sleep, sleep.

Look at me, mama.
I'm a writer.
I do poetry and stories,
all pretty and pink,
and all you do is,
sleep, sleep, sleep.

Look at me, mama.
I can dance.
I'm lonely,
I'll move to France,
meet a woman, and get married.
Look at the ants crawl through
the spilled red juice on
the grass, nature everywhere,
as you sleep, sleep, sleep. 

Look mama,
Look at me, mama!
I have children now,
all good and wise,
you're a grandma.
Why don't you wake up?

Please look at me, mama.
Open your eyes.
I'm lonely and afraid.
I'm old now, and cold,
and you still,
just
sleep, sleep, sleep...
This came to me in a dream.

Today
I decided to write a poem
To put words together
In such a way
As to express
My innermost feelings

And I lost the words
And my thoughts drifted
And my computer keys stuck
And nothing came forward

So
Perhaps tomorrow
I will write a poem
To express my life
And for today
Perhaps
I’ll just go
Outside
To play

You're more beautiful
And more outstanding and bright
Than you'll ever know.

You're worth more than you'll know. Just a reminder.
