Perhaps I really know myself too well
When the pain kicks in each night
And it's too much to bear
I run back to spill my messy thoughts

In words
In deep sighs
In prayers

Hoping I'll wake up one day
Not feeling the ache of yesterday


Tonight I shall tell a tale
Of a young lady who was loved
And who fell in love
But decided to end it all


She was once bewildered of tomorrow
Scared of what the future may have to offer
Until one day
Her barricaded heart was slightly opened
By a man whom she considered as her "present"


He was madly in love with her
And she couldn't be bothered by the evening breeze
For his words kept her warm

She loved him dearly as well

But the string that binds them turned into a rope
A rope made of complicated knots
That each misunderstanding caused pain to the other


Now these ropes turned into cold chains
She can no longer see what he wanted her to see
And he could no longer hear what she wanted him to hear


For this very purpose
Everything fell apart
He said to her to leave him alone
And she finally left


When you're madly in love you see,
You lose sense of everything around you
The moment he begged her to come back
Tears fell like the rain in June
She knew she still loves him
Up to this day
But things weren't right anymore
The shackles were too much for her to handle

Moments that were taken for granted
She missed those times
When she was devoted to him

But for now,
She decided to love herself
