if i imagine a place
where there are no secrets
no hidden emotions
and silent regrets
i feel weightless
like i can love entirely
without fear or hesitation
if i could see the light
without obscurity
and nothing could adhere itself
to my insecurity
i know i could love you
the way you were meant to be loved
somewhere no shadows exist
and no sadness dwells within us
i can see you heart to heart
with no separations
i can imagine the color of your spirit
all warmth and simplicity
like i can trust you implicitly

today my heart was set on fire
i could not get away
to see the effulgent sight
but the reflection in your eyes
was enough to know it was real

motion without moving
this sensation is so new
loving without feeling
this being without you

sunsets are more beautiful
than eastern praises sung
oh do not rise fair maiden
this thing has not begun

passion is a glory
fleeting as the day
those last glimmering moments
please don't fade away

today my heart was set on fire
i could not get away
to see the effulgent sight
but the reflection in your eyes
the reflection in your eyes
is all i need to see this sunset
please don't fade away

even if the world's on fire
i will not close my eyes
i'll stand right here until the day
when all that's left is ash

all the broken promises
and traces left behind
will live within my memory
to be taken out in time

and even if i'm left alone
i will not break down and cry
i'll hold onto all the things
that made me who i am

if instead you're in solitude
do not forget my words
my tears my laughs my caresses
were meant to last a lifetime

whether it was understood
i've loved you all this time
no matter when this falls apart
our hearts are intertwined

perhaps you might live
in the fading rays of light
washing over me yet
all the same evading sight
i cannot actually touch you
but i feel your faint warmth

i thought i'd break my bones
if i knew what was good for me
hold on tight to something i loved
wait for a reason to let it go gracefully
ask for a chance to be held to the sun
bask in its glow its fervor its fire
smile upon fortune for letting me see
allowing the fulfillment of my desire
if only desire would stop at that point

you bitter soul
what refuge can you seek
with your hateful thoughts
you’re heartless when you speak
each passing second
is so much more painful than the last
you’re neglecting your future
by regretting all that has passed
but if it’s easier to live
guess that’s what you’ve chosen
yet deep down you can see
that you’re completely frozen
open your eyes
though it may come as a surprise
you will come to realize
you can never be satisfied
with these questions that you ask
looking further to the past
never seeing what you have
never letting you be who you are

Passing over the bridge
I noticed the dark waters below
There it was
My soul

Caught in a plastic bag
Held by the man with the shopping cart
I lost it
My heart

Disappearing quickly
My fall was met with merely cold
It ended
My life
