I just wanted to talk to someone
But I never seemed to get the chance to
So I began to write;
make the time stop
But I didn’t want it to be poetic
Or imaginative
I didn’t want another person to hear me
I just wanted someone to finally listen
Are you listening?
I am talking to you.

Your lips were so sweet
Because they spilled honey-drenched lies so easily
You told me you loved me
But you told everyone else, too

why do I feel alone amidst the crowd?
when someone is talking to me
I zone out?
sometimes I cry for no reason at all
sometimes I smile after I fall
why is it all?

why do I end up hurting
everyone I love?
why do I spend my mornings
looking at sky up above?
why do I wish to fly
when I can't even crawl?
why is it all?

why do my relationships don't workout?
why do I weep without a sound?
I am not hurt yet I feel hurt
why do I always stress on ifs and buts?
why am I eager to hang up every call?
why is it all?

why was I born different than others?
why do I always hurt my mother?
why I feel so alone?
even when no one's gone
why do I wish I was never born?

Maybe
I won't be
able
to forget
you
completely;
but
I surely
won't
remember you.

R.M.

the traffic in your mind must have been so busy lately,
i couldn't even cross it and still can't.

Have I already told you?
that I always miss you
on a day to day basis

Have I already told you?
that I want to hold you
in this cold, lonely night

Have I already told you?
that you're all I see
in this myriad crowd

Have I already told you?
how you look so cute
when you wear that smile

Have I already told you?
that I'm slowly falling
out of love; it's driving me crazy

Have I already told you?
how lucky I am that I've found you
my one and only comfort zone

Have I already told you?
that I'm hurt with words you've said
I thought it was me all along.

But, I was wrong.
that's why I didn't tell you
what I feel about you.

Have I already told you?
how lucky that person is
to be loved by you...
