Which way leads to you?
Do I need a compass to find my way?
As if you are an island
from some far-away shore
that I spot but can never reach

I look at you
you are so close
Would a map help me out?
Tracing a line between you and me?
Finding the way
as the crow flies
so I can get to you
as soon as can be?

Should I use my heart?
it makes the most sense
but for almost
2, 3 years
I have already used it

and I've never gotten
anywhere  

I am forever
lost

and you are still that island
that I cannot
reach
This is about a friend I used to have

and if this is real, then where the hell are you going?

I
Who am I really
What am I doing
Where do I belong
When should I care
Why am I here...
These are the questions that swim through my head every day

the weather's amazing
my wallet's not empty
i have good company
i've never gone hungry
roof above my head
healthy and not dead


but where are you?
It's all good but where are you?
Where were you when I was down and couldn’t stand again?
It’s hard to eat twice a day and my chick is getting pale
Where were you when I suffered this pain?
Through trial and tribulation; there was no one to pray
When I was offered admission and couldn’t do the pay
You were out doing your thing and you don’t have a clue
As long as you’re cool; you don’t care if I loose
You were a million miles away; I try but couldn’t reach
You were lying on your sofa bed fuming in your sleep
When my sight was filled with tear; and all I see is black and blue
And in my hood I felt useless like a knot without a *****
Now I could see you clear; you’re like a shadow on the wall
That’s how it all started; it’s how our love began to fall
Where were you; I couldn’t reach, all I do is yell
But you were deaf to hear my call; you don’t know how my name spells
Well, I’m getting better; your hurt has made me stronger
Now I’m independent; coz we’re a pair no longer
Oh! Now your heart smashes; your mind flashes
And now you could picture my image in grey ashes
How you make my bone cashes
You belong to high classes
And you threw outta your life like I was just a mere trash(es)

They said that nightmares are not real.
But, what If I say that wasn’t the actual truth of this unseen ideal.
If I wrote to you stating mine was the act of reliving of the unspoken, but be still.
Words from my lips is now unsealed of this sense of surreal.

Dreaming once, twice, but three times of my soul bursting into flames.
Yet, I soon to be known this was the curse of dealing with these games.

Dreaming once, twice, but three times of the fear of uncontentment from past days.
Where I thought that the happiest moments were not a part of presence where I could just stayed awake and wouldn’t have to feel this way.

Dreaming once, twice, but three times of discouragement from my families and burdens, yet it felt like it’ll never been okay even if I say it my time to own it my way and take care of my heart always.

Dreaming that felt like once, twice, but three times have feel like my days are over...But, as soon that I am awake. It’s more if I’m okay now?
When I take my bow on that stage of fears, I can now say it life with tears or life with too little cares.

As I wish on those stars, I wish and I wish for the stories that can’t seems to be near or even close to hear because without it here it nothing but mere of a dream that can’t face the where.
