since we are strangers now,
can you hold me as i cry in your arms?
since you lost all feelings for me,
can you think of this as charity?

i'm crying in the arms of strangers,
but none of them are you
i'm breaking down in front of strangers,
yet none of them know what to do

so, since we are strangers now,
can i cry into your arms?
since we are strangers again,
can i beg you to hold me?

since we are strangers again, what should i do
to mindlessly fall in love with you
maybe you will find me again, but sometimes it would be nice to have certainty.

my lover is worlds away,
yet the red thread still remains on my pinkie.
i hold onto a shred of hope, wishing that one day...
that thread will lead her back to me.

my lover is the moon and i, the sun.
celestial beings in a game of cat and mouse.
i run after her until my heart is fatally done,
hoping that we will meet in our now empty house.

my lover does not know,
i will forever love until my heart dies.
and to the ends of the Earth, i would go,
to see once more, those Pretty Eyes.

my love, you are worlds away, but i
will never say a final goodbye.
regardless of what you do, this love is unconditional like the poem i wrote for you.

i wrote her a poem that will never be read.
a poem fused with the passions of my heart,
and the undying flames of my love.
however, this poem shall never be read.

i wrote of her brown eyes and contagious smiles,
those Pretty Eyes that would leave me breathless for a while.
i wrote of her beautiful heart and her loving touch,
the kind that makes me care a bit too much.

i wrote about the times i held her hand and wiped her tears,
hoping for many more memories in the future years.
i wrote of the bargain i made with fate,
trading my heart and soul for just one more date.

i wrote of the regrets i had when i couldnt be there,
crying out to god that this isnt fair.
to the poem that will never be read

placate the thoughts in your mind
he once said in a loving voice
a moment of weakness to remind
the love he shared was the most

return to me, my love
she replied endearingly
a wish she could not dispose of
-for he had loved her whole-heartedly

forgive me for my action
he would plead with her
but this failed love transaction
could not bring back her whisper

he turns to night's embrace
with tears painfully stricken down,
the emotions distorting his face,
for he had left her to drown

in dearest to the one he adored-
these fruitless actions will he forever abhor
it hurts because it was real. it broke me because i truly loved. i will never forget because i care too much. i will always love because if i let go, then those feelings meant nothing; this is my burden to bear.

just you, only you
can make the
rhythms of
my heart, swoon

only you
will ever captivate
the entirety of
my eyes

only you
do I write
infatuation with
my heart

only you
will I see,
this world of
You and Me
even if you need me a year, two years, five years, ten years from now, my heart will still remain open for you

the burden of another
holds little value to each other.
we grasp a branch and hold on tight
yet loosen up when the time is right.

we want someone to call our own
but end up leaving them all alone.
the brutal cycle continues on
until the victim is fatally gone.

yet in their departure, our eyes may cry
that they had left without a single goodbye.
so to another, we will run
until this evil act is finally done.

however, our deeds are often for naught
for all the evil it has brought.
the pain and misery of the former
endlessly torment the performer.

The epitome of what could have been,
I strike a match that ignites a fire in the sky.
My actions leave me with a half-hearted grin;
for I had realized you had left me to die.

You left me in another's embrace,
leaving me to be at war with myself.
You rejected me in this forsaken place,
running away to selfishly save yourself.

You left me when I needed you the most,
breaking me apart, ripping me in two.
You discarded me like a ghost,
so I turn to my malice—shattering the sky in two.

You knew I was yours, and you were mine.
But I guess... our fates were never meant to align.
Wrote this inspired by the new Netflix show Arcane and the song: What Could Have Been by Sting and Ray Chen.
