My heart is so haunted
By your lasting memory
A ghost that's undaunted
Seems to always follow me
Perhaps this is a curse
Chasing when I try to flee
Is this what I deserve?
Is this how it's meant to be?
Spirits always emerge
When I try to move forward
Visions of you preserved
Keeping up the torture
Whispering forgotten words
Echoing throughout my ears
When I think I'm over you
That's when you reappear
Haunting my heart for years
I can't seem to find a cure
As I fumble through the tears
You're a siren that endures

This wind whistles a sad song
As it rumbles through baron trees
No humans left to sing along
No animals left to enjoy her breeze
It just blows around in the dust
People destroyed themselves for greed
Mother Nature finally had enough
"They loved money more than me"
"Humans polluted my waters
They kept poisoning my air
I warned them over and over
But they just didn't seem to care"
She tried to comfort the wind
Who's moans fell upon no one's ears
The wind is crying and lonely
There's no people left to hear
Dear Mother tried hard to explain
But the wind just blew harder
Trying to drowned out all the pain
Not believing that life was over
"Who will I cool in the hot summer?
Why did you do this, Dear Mother?
Who will play with me in the winter?
My breath will never be felt by another"
The angry wind was weeping
As her tears flooded the land
"Dear Wind, they did it to themselves
It was all done by their own hand"
She knew mother's words were true
But her rain continued to flow
The sky had never glowed so blue
As the healing began to show
The smog cleared from the skies
As the earth was again turning green
The wind had no more reason to cry
While Mother Nature continued to clean
The wind still missed the wildlife
As polluted oceans were now pristine
This has happened before in time
When dinosaurs were roaming free
"New life will soon return again"
This is my promise to thee"
Mother told the excited wind
My words are true, just wait and see"
The wind howled in pure delight
"Mother, will you have to do this again?"
Mother Nature just answered in a sigh
"It all depends on them, my dearest wind"

I remember what we had
Long passion-filled kisses
And lovingly holding hands
The same dreams and wishes
We knew what the world was
All those happy times together
We were very deeply in love
And we made our world better
And we are so alike
Yet we are so alone
Our love is still inside
Waiting to be shown
Our lives have always been tough
In between the years apart
But it seems love was never enough
Everyone doomed us from the start
But I know our love will never falter
Even though we are not together
It is firmly etched into our hearts
It will remain there always and forever
But we are so alike
Why are we so alone?
Our love is there inside
It is a love that we own
We never had to fake it at all
But we left a lot of things unsaid
The same goals we always talked
And together we planned ahead
I feel like I'm sitting in a corner
And your on the other side of the wall
I need you now more than ever
You're so close but can't get to you at all
You know we are so alike
Yet we continue to be alone
I see you but you're out of reach
Take my hand and allow love to flow
We had no temptation for any another
At the times when we were together
We were very deeply in love
And we made the whole world better
Maybe someday our hearts will touch
We were meant to be with each other
Many times we tried to no avail
No matter what our love will last forever
We'll always be so alike
But why are we so alone?
Our love is there waiting
We just have to make it known

I don't know what to say,
And don't know what to do,
Because all I can ever think about when I'm around you,
Is the way your arms use to feel tied around my chest,
And the sound your voice would make when you laughed so loud like that.
I don't know how to breath,
Don't know how to smile,
Because lately I've been noticing your happier by yourself,
But then we'll catch each other's eye,
And we'll make awkward contact for a while,
You'll break it first like it never happened,
This isn't exactly how I imagined.
I hope you know I'll never forget the way your arms felt wrapped round my chest,
And the sound of your voice when you laughed so loud,
I wish that I could hear it right now.
I don't know how to look,
Don't know how to act,
Because when I hear your name,
I have to restrain myself.
After all your friends are mine and your bound to come about,
But I'm not ready to see you happy with someone else,
It sounds insane because after all,
It was entirely my own fault for a girl with a broken soul,
Will be forever unloved by one and all.

"Sometimes walking on a wrong path
takes you to the right place
where you have been wanting
something from life.
( may be an instinct or a hint)
Wrong way has a trance to take you
back to your own path,
which you miss once in between the
journey to destiny where Failure is
that wrong way which
rights you later in life.
-Chirayu!.

Three years ago, she told you she loves you...
You see her walking down the street with her earphones in
You smiled from ear to ear
Reminiscing the past three years
Your smile turned upside down
And you wonder if she moved on
Thats why she's back in town
And you wonder if you could handle
Her moving on from you
You stared at her as she crosses the street
As she sings along to the music in her ears
You wonder if she still listens to the same song
You wonder what you did wrong
She saw you so she smiled and wave
Crazy because last time, she turned the other way
But today was different
She smiled and walked up to you
Asking you how you do
Then you realized you're upset
That you let her go
She left with a smile on her face
"Bye..." You whispered
As your voice cracked.
***Three years ago, she told you she loves you...
Today, you almost say it back.***
