Please embrace me, before I die
Give solace to my soul to fly
I know my abode is in the sky
Let me touch you before  I cry

I wanted to have you in time
Innocent wish turned to crime
I needed you in my real prime
But your beauty makes sublime

Death is a truth one can't deny
Let me see you with open eye
My sweetheart do not feel shy
All rules of love let me to defy

My lips are still moving though I've run out of breath.
A plea, fervent and desperate.
An encore, it echoes again.
I cannot express how deeply I feel, yet
How ashamed I am of the oceans inside.
Let my skin boil and my eyes freeze,
I am ashamed.

I always hear you call her name.
That young, aesthetically-made woman you've always admired.
I hear you call her everytime.
You call her name in a whisper.
It's like you are slightly asking the wind to deliver her your whimpers, just in case it would pass by to her house,
or in case it would whip past her beautiful face.

Everyday, I hear her name.
Every night, you'd go insane.

Not a day would go by in this time
will I ever forget how your voice shrieks
when you blurt out her name.

I love how deeply you feel about her.
I love how your eyes sparkle when you think of coming out to meet her.
I love how just by hearing her name makes your knees weak.

I'm sorry but whenever I hear you call out her name,
I only remember my pace right even before she came to race.
I never went away when you decided to bring her close,
just because I know in myself
I would have to get used to it day by day
hearing you actually call her name.

And hearing you call her name,
this may be sane,
but with me,
will you ever be the same?
I shut the world out
*Before you became my world.
Okay again. Sorry. (+1)

Stars shine above our heads
When we lay down and go to bed
We all die every night
When we close our eyes and sleep at night
The lucky ones open their eyes
As we face another day to someone else's goodbyes
She kept a warmth for me for many years
And never told me
So as time passed
And spells were cast
I at last
Catch onto the drift
I feel the rift
Crease into my thoughts
When I discover the news
That I belonged in your heart
Now missed opportunity has deterred us apart
Where do I start?
I wish you left your doubts absconded
And let your bravery unleash
So you could of had a better outcome
Than what happened instead
This causes so much sadness in my head
I wish you said something
I could of prevented all the scorn you had to experience
What a serene change that would be

to say I am my own
is a misunderstanding.
I am not my own.
I have no business living in my body.

every so often
a soul enters and departs
slipping and evaporating like clouds
and hazy veils of smoke.

the souls tell me who they were
and what they weren't.
I can no longer help them
since their time is up.

no wonder people ask
"what are you thinking about?"
for souls pass through me like doors
and gates left cracked ajar.

to say I am not myself
is an understatement.
I am emptied.
I hold weary travelers as if they were my own.
You do not have to starve yourself to have people love you
You do not need to draw needles across your skin to get people to care
You deserve better than this

*Why do you never listen?
