Put me in the night
Hide me out of sight
Put me on an island
Or in an asylum
Put me a hole
For my wretched soul
Put me in the tallest tree
So no one can see
Fling me in the ocean
So they haven't a notion
Paint me camouflage
So I'm just a mirage
Put me on a boat
That doesn't stay afloat
Put me on a cliff
Send a wind that is stiff
Put me in a ravine
Where I'll never be seen
Put me on the moon
So I won't come back soon
Put me in the sky
We know that I can't fly
Put me in a car
That takes me very far
Put me in a shack
Where I refuse to come back
Put me in the rain
So I might become sane

You were a
Lovely ghost
Here yet far away
But he was
Flesh and bone
And I didn't have to
Imagine the way
His lips would
Feel on mine
Because they were
Already there,
Pressed against
My skin.
You were meant for someone far better than I am.

It's hard for me to write these days
knowing you're so closely, far away.

Eyes grey like the clouds of a rainy day
Hard with your anger
Soft with your smile
Your eyes were grey changing shades with the light
Mesmerising
Beautiful in such an odd way
I always thought it was such a dull color
Until you looked at me that night in the dark
And I got lost in your shifting grey eyes
I still get lost in them..

Distance,
only but a word for some
yet for I, describes much more
Distance,
this is how my life's become
the miles, the cities between, oh how my heart has tore

Distance,
has been all except a pleasure knowing
oh, a ghost in which haunts my dreams
Distance,
just a sliver of light still glowing
though the pain shall dim the beams

Distance,
if only thus could disappear
maybe then my heart would mend
Distance,
I wish that I could have you near
Distance be my friend
Wrote this at a friend's request who is experiencing long-distance friendships.

Sometimes I feel like I am sinking, and as I sink deeper into this black abyss, I think of you, and as I think of you, I start to change my mind, and then I start to crave. Crave for the chance to take a big gulp of air and float to the top. But I've sunk too far down to be saved.
All our distant memories
are like stars
in the nighttime sky.

World is up,
  I am down.
I am in,
Dirt surrounds.
I am
       falling,
             falling
                  down.
I am in,
The dirt surrounds.
Is it too late now,
Am I too far away?
Am I falling in love,
     Or
         into
              my
                  grave?

I know you
Everytime you walk away
i glance at you
But it doesn't seem that you realise it
The only thing i can do is see you from far
i really, really want to get closer to you
But, i don't have any courage for it
You're unreachable

Hey, do you see me?
Why only me that feel this way?
or do you feel the same way?
Could you look at me?
Just for a while
But, i'm afraid it's too late now

Is your heart was taken by someone else?
please tell me now, so i didn't waiting for you for longer time
I know it'll be painful for me
it'll tear my heart apart
But at least i can see you happy
even if the one who makes you happy is not me
it's okay
I love you
