Such is Life
Sarah Oh Jul 2017
Life can be strange, sometimes
One way or another
It makes no sense, yet it rhymes

There’s no way of telling
Where our lives are going
Well,  then don’t stop trying

Dusk has fallen
Sarah Oh Mar 2016
Dusk has fallen,
And the day is done
The sky is receding,
For the night has just begun

The day you went away
Sarah Oh Mar 2016
I've been searching
For the right words to say
My heart's aching
For you to stay
Since the day you walked away

Emotions
Sarah Oh Mar 2016
****, you say
Laugh, you make me
Cry, I break you
Anger, you fear me

A girl like me
Sarah Oh Mar 2016
Stir my soul
Not my goal
Face my fears
Leave no tears
Time ticks by
Your heart won't lie
Feb 2016 · 780
You're history
Sarah Oh Feb 2016
From the first day i met you,
You're a memory
From that day you walked away,
You became history
Till the day we meet again,
Your scent is the only accessory I wore
Till my heart aches again,
I cannot ask for more

Your Heart is a Compass
Sarah Oh Feb 2016
Risk everything you have for freedom
Fuel your passion with all you got
Feed your lust for everything you believe in
For there's a compass in your heart that lies within
Feb 2016 · 648
Left Behind
Sarah Oh Feb 2016
Paths less taken
Faces with no souls
Voices unheard
How many hearts have been broken?

Torn and tattered
Hair dishevelled
Hatred and lust, they bind
With their souls left behind

Gentle is the night
Sarah Oh Feb 2016
As the day fades into night,
Where the stars shine bright
They mingle, they dance like clusters of delight
A quiet evening beckons me
With a glass of red and a nice cool breeze
That gently caresses my face
To ready myself for a good night's embrace

The Next Chapter
Sarah Oh Jan 2016
The days are getting shorter
The nights are getting longer
Time to rest my heart a little
Onward to the next chapter, my dear

I've been told before
Sarah Oh Jan 2016
I've been told before
That it's typical of me to talk about our past
Fraught with shadows of our lives
Stricken with love and lust

I've been told before
That I'm broken
Time is going to heal the pain
So I could love again

I've been told before
That I'm a fighter
Clothed in courage
Who's ready to take the stage

Archipelago
Sarah Oh Jan 2016
A city of blinding lights
An archipelago of unearthed minds
Take away the tension
Let the creativity flow
No matter the darkness of this road we go
There's always a great story waiting to be told

What makes you stronger
Sarah Oh Jan 2016
Born in a thunderstorm
I was on my own
All these years
I lived with the tides
I'm still breathing
Boy, am I glad to be alive

You can take a stab at my heart
And rip it apart
Over and over again
I flinch at the pain
You wouldn't know
But you just take it slow
While I go with the flow
Never have I thought
I could deal with such a blow

Waves
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Waves are crashing
I am slowly drifting
Head above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
But you're not around

Let it shine
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Step off the edge
Live life a little
Caught in waves of uncertainty
Shrouded by self-pity
Drowned in empty hopes
But you won't crumble

Take a walk on the edge
Feel your fears tremble down your spine
The storm may rage, the thunders will clap
Amid the darkness
The light in your eyes will shine

The Voice
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
I always have this voice in my head
It tells me to go with what I believe in
My dreams are my future, they ain't dead
I knew what I signed up for, right from the beginning

Untitled
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Dreaming with a broken heart
Waking up is the hardest part
When things have fallen apart
Loving you is so hard
I don't even know where to start
Dec 2015 · 778
Circles
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
There is a time
When silence isn't quiet
It's getting harder to breathe
My heart is in a constant riot

Life's on a merry-go-round
Wherever I'm going
It's spinning in circles
I'm finding my way around
Dec 2015 · 837
Well Spent
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Hearts are fickle
Minds are unstable
Words becomes lies
There's no truth in their eyes

Words unspoken
Hearts got broken
A kaleidoscope of joy, sorrow and pain
A life not wasted in vain.

Go with the flow
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Every branch of a tree has its turn
No matter the edges or the curves
It's always a story we will learn
Give this tree the love it deserves

The buds awoke and began to grow
Beneath the soil, onward they go
Force nothing and let things happen
Just like life, go with the flow
Dec 2015 · 431
Life goes on
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Life goes on
My heart is torn
Lungs ripped apart
Where do I go with my broken heart?

Life goes on
I feel so small
My heart just wants more
Still, I have to stand tall
Dec 2015 · 639
Chase
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
As the world comes crashing down on your face
I'll be here to give you a warm embrace
That's where you'll find me
You won't have to chase
Dec 2015 · 733
Start again
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Caught in a riptide
Lost between my head and my heart
Hair disheveled and a wounded pride
All these roads lead me back to the start

Holding my breath
And count to ten
My heart left me by a quiet death
Just to feel alive, once again.
Dec 2015 · 598
We are the world
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
The world is an unfair place
Much to my dismay
The humans lack grace
We didn't write the rules
It just happens that way
Dec 2015 · 633
On nights like these
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
On nights like these
I thought that I was doing fine
Just when I could love again
It's a pity, you're not mine

On nights like these
I wish to hear your voice  
Yet, I couldn't
Not by choice

In the blink of an eye
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
The past's been written
And the ink ran dry
The future's uncertain
Time's going to flash past us
In the blink of an eye

The Theory
Sarah Oh Dec 2015
Till our love runs out
There's nothing you can ever doubt

Till our faith runs dry
My actions will not lie

Till our hope fades into nothing
It's love, not war we're making
Nov 2015 · 980
Let it go
Sarah Oh Nov 2015
So many wasted nights
Of endless fights
Unspoken words
Need I say more
We're no longer what we used to be before

Your eyes are filled with lies
I just realised
I'm not complaining
You're just a lesson I'm learning

Please believe me
It's all you can say
Just to make me stay
This isn't easy
While I just want to be free
Nov 2015 · 1000
We
Sarah Oh Nov 2015
We
We're the kind of mess people see as art
We have flaws people see as curves and edges
We have scars that remind people of our defeat, pain and struggles
We're a map of everything we've been through

Till we grow old
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Hold me tight
Let's not fight
We only got tonight
To make things right

We don't have forever
It's now or never
To cherish and to hold
Till we grow old

3am
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
3am
The clock strikes three
No place I'd rather be
Allow me to say something
It's heartbreaking to see
What we've created is gone
Now, we're moving on
I'm tattered and torn
Before my heart is reborn
Oct 2015 · 289
You and me
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Explore the world
With your hand in mine
The sky full of stars
They are all aligned
My one big love
He's not leaving me behind

I'm not done loving you yet
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
You are...
A song I can't get out of my head
The words I never said
The love I never had
A memory I can't forget
Everything I regret
Oct 2015 · 755
Broken
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Words unspoken
Her heart is broken
Stubborn to quit  
Her love for him was far too great
She couldn't admit
Oct 2015 · 908
Love is simple
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Put your hand on mine
Wrap your arms around me
Our love need not hurry
Because love should be free and easy

We don't need to worry
Our love is always simple
There's no need for a change
It's simple as it should be
Oct 2015 · 323
You are not around
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
There's sand in my feet
Wind in my hair
My hands can't touch the ground
You're not around

My head under water
I'm still breathing fine
I'm slowly drifting away
Escaping it all

I'm picking it up
Start again
Second chances
Forget the pain
For it's time
Leave the past behind
Oct 2015 · 515
Chasing the unknown
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
The air feels heavy
My lungs can't take the weight
My sight is getting blurry
It's getting late

I'm lost and a wandering soul
With nowhere else to go
Am I getting old?
Or just waiting for uncertainty to unfold?
Oct 2015 · 983
Emotions run dry
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Her emotions run dry
She's out of tears to cry
The sky looks grey
As if it's got something to say

She longs for his love
Consumed by desire and lust
Even when ashes turn to dust
He's the only thing she thinks of
Oct 2015 · 368
A place to start
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
She's looking for a place to start
Everything feels so different now
Since the day he's broken her heart
For her heart ached in her eyes, she could not disavow

Forever doesn't exist
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Don't promise me forever
I just want us to live in the moment
And love each other one day at a time
Because it's now or never

I don't say a lot of things
Not because I love you less
Who knows what the future brings
You're my precious, nonetheless
Oct 2015 · 727
Nothing is permanent
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
I know that we have not been the same lately
I know that there are times when I look at you
I feel like I barely know this person anymore
What hurts me is that you probably feel the same too
And there's no other way than me struggling to keep us alive
While your heart's somewhere else
Oct 2015 · 752
My sweetest downfall
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
You're my sweetest downfall
A beautiful mistake
Breaks my bones
Still, I'm standing tall
Oct 2015 · 486
I'm standing alone here
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
I'm standing alone here
In a crowded place
I can't see your face now
My heart begins to race

I'm standing alone here
My mind is an empty space
Slipping at the edge
For there's nothing left to erase
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
We've grown apart
There's no doubt
Guess it's time to grow up
We don't live in each other's hearts anymore
Oct 2015 · 692
Time to leave
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
You're leaving
It's time to go
The engine's running
I knew this day was coming
Your mind's made up
About leaving us behind
For a new place to begin
Oct 2015 · 482
I'll be gentle as I can
Sarah Oh Oct 2015
Your wound seems to take a while to heal
Got hurt young, and now you're older
Trapped in solitude, built a fortress of fear
Stuck in the past with days turning colder

You look like a mess right now
Emotions have run dry
With no tear left to cry
Let me hold you, if you allow

Your heart looks like it wants to bleed
Drifting out of nowhere
Grieving the loss of hopes and dreams
I will tell you all the things she never did

I'll be gentle as I can
It's hard to love someone again  
Let it go, let me hold you tight
I will show you what it feels like to be loved again
For you're safe in my hands

What Love is
Sarah Oh Sep 2015
The truth about love is,
It's not about sunshine and butterflies everyday.
Of course not.
There are difficult times when there are thunderstorms, gardens filled with thorns.
Perhaps the worst is yet to come.
Whatever happens, I met you and in an instant, I know in my bones that our souls have met and we belong together.
And that you're the person I want to spend my life with.

Thoughts of You
Sarah Oh Sep 2015
You're the first person I think about
When I wake up in the morning
You're the last person in my mind
Before I go to sleep
Thinking about you is where my nightmares have vanished
So my sweet dreams can begin
Sep 2015 · 532
Blink of an Eye
Sarah Oh Sep 2015
Under the vast night sky,
Blanketed in darkness
You're the only star I see
Perhaps my only glimpse of happiness
Only to remind me
A lot can change in the blink of an eye

A Day
Sarah Oh Sep 2015
The sky looks ****** with something to say
Clouds have gathered
Rain drops fall on my feet
Oh boy, what a wonderful day
