They have turned the lights off
And off they go to bed,
While here I am though eyes closed
Thoughts running in my head -

thoughts like
"will I ever get to sleep?", or
"will the weather be good tomorrow?"
I tell you, tis a never ending cycle,
But the night owl still needs sleep.
My love has left me
with only silence... in my heart.
I could not talk.
I could not even cry...
I could only remember
the hurtful goodbye.
Sing me a lullaby
Put me to sleep
Stay at my side
Please never leave
Words I cannot utter
Because of too much pain
So sing me a lullaby
At least, keep me sane.
If I write from the heart,
I could write for a lifetime;
For my heart will keep on beating
as long as I live.
In its every beat,
it has a story to tell -
what keeps it going,
who does it sing for,
what inspires it to dream,
what makes it cry...
Beat by beat. Letter by letter.
They become words and words
become phrases.
I am writing from my heart now,
perhaps you're reading this.
I end with only one wish, that is,
May these words reach your
heart so you may also
write for a lifetime.
Stars, giant and dwarf --
I look into your eyes and
Found my universe.
