This will be the last time I will lie this close to you
It hasn't been an easy ride; we are both weary and broken
Tired and detached from each other's hearts
Forever hopeless
I think it is time to lay down the fragmented pieces of our love
On the bed of roses we built so long ago
Because honey, we only shared thorns pricking our fingers, shed tears craving freedom and whisper words in each of our ears
To soothe the guilt and regret haunting us in our every living breath
Still, we reflect each other's brokenness so perfectly
I bleed with your pain, you die with my tremendous sadness
I caress your hair with my bruised hand
And you heal my soul by trading yours to melancholy
We are perfect, aren't we?
That is why I choose to suffer in silence
If that means to heal you
Then I choose to die by your side
If that means I will never be alone mourning my brokenness
Then everyday will be the last time I will lie this close to you

Never not till our skins run dry
And the stars die in our eyes
Not even till our youth fades with time
Will you and I finally unrhyme

Crystal clear the tears of sky
Sliding down the pane
I close my eyes and wish it's just another rainy day

I'm not going to lay this soft on you
This is the hardest you will ever do

Don't take away from yourself the liberty to experience all the love the world could offer you
Because you deserve so much of it
Embrace people and when it's time to let go,
Breathe in then loosen your grip

i let you tore me
a p a r t
splitting and turning me into
c r o s s r o a d s
and i thought you'd be with me
w h e r e v e r
but instead of walking on roads
you chose to
f l y.

At times, the clouds
try to hide the moon.
But they forget—
its light
can never be concealed.
Truth and radiance
always find a way,
no matter how deep
the darkness may be.
