I always thought we were the perfect match.
But matches are meant
                                   to ignite
                                         and burn out.
When you have a child,
And reality grips your senses,
In moderation and mild,
The scolding and tender defences;

When loves goes cold,
And romance becomes a figment,
But you did as was told,
If only that was the requirement;

When death approaches,
And life has run its course,
No time for presupposes,
Only to fulfil, this one sure curse.
Nothing ever remains the same.

I wish I were dead.
I wouldn't cause any more troubles.
I wouldn't be a burden.
I wouldn't be missed.
Please take me away.

understood

I had

and why
I'd
grown
unwilling
to do
anything
he had
done
every girl in this universe
is made from flowers.
please,
do not be afraid to bloom.
make them see,
freeze, and stare.
In this world we use to live
I wanted to disappear and leave
I try not to cry
But my tears won't dry

In this judgemental world
People throwing painful word
I use not to dare
I don't want to mess and care

I locked myslef up
How can I make it stop
I tried to understand
In this world I use to stand

I wanted to run
And smile so bright like a sun
Because in your simple mistake
People make an issue even if its fake
