Loneliness has suddenly becomes my closest friend,
Sadness has come to embrace me closer than the embrace of a child to his mother,

Happiness sees me from a distance and change its direction,
But yet I was hopeful that tomorrow would be great,
That was before I received an sms from my fiancee telling me it is over,

And then I told myself you have no more course to live for,
Then and there I was ready to do away with the empty attempt of deception self molestation called existence.

My phone beep twice for a call signal and I said this will be my last,

The number was familiar before I realize it was Cecilia calling, my already ex fiancee,

I was hopeful again before her apologising voice drop on the phone,
"Sorry babe that message was not for you, it was for another guy"

That was my second death in the same body.

Was I created to carry all the problem of the world,

Well I will just seat here and wait until they is no more joy or happiness left in my vain.

Then I will just be a plain sheet to start all over again.
