I am a library book
Borrowed and temporary
But loved and kept safely
Only to be returned the next day
When another book replaces me

I am your pair of shoes
I follow you and support you no matter what
But once you see a hole you deem me worthless
You think I don't feel bruises
But you throw me away
To love another pair more

I am your best friend
I'll be with you till the end
But that's come and gone
When you met the love of your life and moved on
Don't get me wrong, I'll always be your friend
I'm happy for you and I should be
But I can't help but think
"What about me?"

Dear sunset,
please don't go away
I just want you to stay
don't let it end today
cause I am so afraid.

Dear river,
please walk me by
and tell me "it's alright",
hold me when I cry
just hold me tight tonight.

Dear sunrise,
please don't be awake
cause I won't be await
for you to make me rain
and mourn tomorrow
like I did today.

Dear starlight,
please let me make a wish
so that she can filled with rich
of happiness and love
and be happy up above.
it is about me not wanting for today to end because I finally felt like I am worth living but also hell because I have to be apart from someone that I really love.

walking down the streets at 3 am
with my girls
complaining about how cold our legs are
but we actually know very well
that this is what we live for
screaming, laughing
as if we were alone on this planet
neither afraid of the dark
nor thinking about tomorrow
because at this moment we are free
just us and the streets
we don't sleep at night

It's empty.
Taken days ago.

Maybe I’ve lost my mind
Over you
Someone I could call my best friend
It’s so very true
We are inseparable but
Separated
Inevitably we live different lives
The trust I have wanes
Regrettably
When you get quiet
Because of my own insecurities
My heart has been broken
So many times but
I keep giving it to you, and hoping
You’ll treat it gently and with caution
But nights like these
When I’m alone and not sure where you are
I question if I’m still your number one
Your little star
I know you know my loyalty knows no bounds with you
But do you trust your love for me
Enough to say
You belong to me, too?

Sometimes the worst things for us,
are the best things for us.

If the current didn't sweep me out into the sea,
I would've never truly appreciated the shore.
I wouldn't cherish every grain of sand under my feet.
I wouldn't respect the ocean's mighty pull.

If I never fought that war,
Everything would be a battle.
I would never know when to draw the line,
and every argument would end in casualty.  

If my heart would've never been broken,
I would not know how precious true love is.
I wouldn't know how to handle it with care.
It would not hold the same value.

You see...

We may get thrown into the ocean,
or have to fight some wars alone,
or even have our hearts shattered,
but it makes us who we need to be.

Our souls are better once they've been weathered.
Once we know pain,
We are able to understand joy.
We learn to hold on to the things that matter,
and let go of those that don't.

Sometimes the worst things for us,
are the best things for us.
Just a thought I had. Sorry if this makes zero sense. I just put my random thoughts into words. lol.

down on his knees
as sweet as I could bear
all of a sudden the evening was silent
cloaked with rumination
as if whistling, begging
for me to just say something
the moment I opened my mouth

I was alone
