Sometimes
Sarah Oh Aug 2015
Sometimes,
When we try to look for answers, it leaves us with more questions
Sometimes,
When we overthink everything, we suffer from nothing but depression
Sometimes,
We make sense of our surroundings by holding onto things we believe in
Sometimes,
We just have to let go of we've been
Sometimes,
We're just tired and need somewhere to begin

Your Eyes
Sarah Oh Jul 2015
If your eyes could speak
The way you batted your eyelashes robs me of my insanity
I try to pull myself away from you
But your beauty just throws me intro frenzy
Darling, my curiosity is piqued

Walk Away
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
Walk away from
Anything that tries to dim your sparkle
Anything that's holding you back
Anything that's not making you happy
Anything that's not making you grow

It's time to let go, darling

Let go of
Things that make you sad
Things that bring you down

This is when you break free

You are
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
You are what you become
You become what you make
You make what you have within
What you have within brings you to where you are
Wherever you are results from what you really are.

The Curious Pursuit
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
If your eyes could speak
The way you batted your eyelashes robs me of my insanity
I try to pull myself away from you
But your beauty just throws me intro frenzy
Darling, my curiosity is piqued

Set Me Free
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
If there's no tomorrow,
I don't know what will follow
Life is going to take me by surprise, grab me by the hand, and whisk me away to an adventure I never had
This is where I'm going to break free and be the real me
So I decide to break up with my fears, leave my insecurities behind, and elope with my passion, to marry the life of my dreams

The Pact
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
You and I
We made a pact
Someday, we'll run into each other again
By then, we're older, smarter and better
Should time permit,
Just call my name and I'll be there
Right now, I'm letting go of you
It's time for you to do the same
For you're my favourite hello
And my hardest goodbye

The Girl's Alright
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
As she prepares to turn in for the night
A fleet of thoughts ran across her mind
There's this urge to slap her visions to reality
But her life hasn't been kind
A road that's been weaved with struggles, stitched with pain and healed by tears
Hell yeah, she's going to be alright

Love is
Sarah Oh Jun 2015
Forget what you know about love
you didn't know what pain felt like
till you got your heart broken and crushed
the day someone left you,
your world started to fall apart
you were left alone to heal your broken heart
until someone comes along
to love you for who you are
to catch you when you fall
to adore all of your edges, embracing your curves and imperfections
He promises to give all of him to you
Everything you wanted comes true
That's when he tells you that it feels like home with you

Your Heart Never Lies
Sarah Oh May 2015
I end tonight with a heavy heart
Followed by a new day
I look forward to a brand new start
Get my motor running
And pick myself up from where I part
This is where I tell myself to be strong and keep my head up

Life's not going to tell you which route to take
We all make mistakes anyway
Life didn't promise you a bed of roses
We regret the things we say
We feel bitter about the chances we didn't take
But that's okay
Stay true to yourself, follow what your heart says
Good things come to those who wait

One Word from You
Sarah Oh May 2015
One word from you
It's all it takes

One word from you
Whether or not, we can catch a break

One word from you
It's okay, my dear
We make the most beautiful mistakes

Too Good to Be True
Sarah Oh May 2015
I've got this big map in my head
Pondering over which route to take
I've always wanted a perfect life
Hoping to be someone's faithful wife
I try not to worry about making mistakes
Keeping my head up even when my heart breaks
If life was meant to be perfect
"This is too good to be true," I would have said

When You Walk Away
Sarah Oh May 2015
Give me back my dreams and my fantasy
That's the only way for me to live
Don't stop talking
Your voice is my favourite lullaby
As you raise your lips to reach mine  
I could taste you in my tongue
Boy, I certainly couldn't breathe
Your hands wrapped around my hips
My legs glided across your knees
Your chest against mine
Two hearts beating as one
I wish I could tell you everything I want to say
Everything you need to hear before you walk away
I'm sorry I'm not the one you fancy

Empty Space
Sarah Oh May 2015
I gave my heart away only for you to break
My world becomes so empty since the day you went away
So you think our love was a game for you to play
But I didn't think this way
I loved you to the moon and back, for heaven's sake

The lights are blinding,
My temperature's rising,
I'm walking aimlessly with nowhere to go
Everything around me starts to go slow

You're the reason why we went down in flames
It was killing me inside
I tried to hide the pain
I took things in my stride
Until you put an end to this game

When you left me,
I felt like dying
What happened to the love it was supposed to be?
My world becomes so empty
It's time to fill this space with a new memory

The Big Chase
Sarah Oh May 2015
This one is for the dreamers, the Walter Mitty(s), star-gazers
People who never stop going after the infinite possibilities in the world
No dream is too big,
Keep your head up and follow what you believe in
Nor the dreamer is too small
Never stop chasing everything you've imagined

The Girl Who Ponders
Sarah Oh May 2015
Under a sky full of stars,
Here I am,
Standing alone,
With no expectations of the world.
For I'm just a simple girl,
Looking for something to believe in.
Because I don't know where to begin

Gracefully Broken
Sarah Oh May 2015
Set yourself free.
Let yourself go.
Let the lights shine bright.
It's hard to be dull in the darkest of the night.
My heart is broken, with words unspoken.
What's broken cannot be unbroken.
What's joy without pain?
They say that the best kind of love is insane.
Instead, we hurt each other over and over again.
We could pretend that everything's going to be okay.
Deep down in our hearts, we know the pain's going to stay.
Let's keep our heads up and laugh in each other's embrace.
So we can walk away with grace.

— The End —
