Brown-eyed Fellow
Therese Syang Sep 2014
A day without you is a day of imperfection
Your presence is a joy that invites me to happiness
And a moment of wonder

                              Every blink of your eyes bring a spark to my veins
                             That creates an electricity that charges my feelings...

When you say my name, All I hear is your voice
And when we start to converse, the time ticks in slow motion

                                                        ­            But what a feeling this could be
                                                             If you don't even know how it feels

Am I just the only one
or am I over thinking that I'm the only one

                                                        U­nrequited feeling is hard to keep but
                                                            A­s long as my consciousness speaks
                                              You are the one who made me feel this...

All The Bright Places
Therese Syang May 2018
We started confused
Blank, Pained and Unsure

We have our own excuse
To Live,  To Ask,  To Love

On that Bell Tower ledge we met; Same thoughts...
To Fall, To End, To Let go

I dragged you away
Showed you the real way
Helped you come back again
And Kept you from pain

We wandered all the Bright Places
The Mountains...
The Churches...
The River...
The Lake...

Even the Blue Hole where we date

As time passes by I healed you from sore
And my Feelings grew more
So as the pain, the ache
And the uncertainties we break

We both fell from with in
And you tried to keep me out of the pain
Yet It was as heavy as sin
That I can't bear to feel

You held on
But I let go
You did not know
That I ended so

I know It'll cause you Pain
And I may never be seen
But my heart, my soul and my memory of you
Will forever be and always be
with you.

You are brave, please believe...
This is inspired by the book 'All The Bright Places' by Jennifer Niven. I consider it as my all time favorite book. The story is painful, lovely and real. A-must-read book.

This poem is based on Finch's Point of View (Finch is the lead male character of the story)

Lazy,Busy,Crazy
Therese Syang Sep 2014
Why so lazy...
            when all you have to do is eat
Why so lazy...
            when all you have to do is speak
Why so lazy...
            when you don't even have to wake at 6

Why so lazy
             why so lazy...

Why so busy...
            when what you only know is fun
Why so busy...
            when you can't even wash your hand
Why so busy...
             when you have all the time to deny

Why so busy
            why so busy...

Why so crazy...
             when you think deeply what to say
Why so crazy...
             when you can't freely do your way
Why so crazy...
             when you're totally okay

Why so crazy
             why so crazy...

You're so Crazy
               when you say you're Busy
                                 when the truth is you're Lazy

That's who you are
That's who you are
#Lazy #Busy #Crazy #that's who you are

Staggered
Therese Syang Oct 2014
Like debt too high
That's hard to pay
At once,
I thought of you in
Staggered moments.

The feels it bears of
Tattered moments in
Shattered times are
Hearts broken...

Staggered chances
Where guts failed,
Are the moments
That will never be
aligned in the way
You wanted...
#don't let your chances run out of place #just do it #just grab it #even if it's staggered

Stranger
Therese Syang May 2016
A proof of wonder on the beauty of your sight
your eyes can tell a story through the lenses of your glass...

I search through my thoughts on the realm of you on my mind
but border it is that won't abide on what I want...

Still, you're a mystery that cannot be set aside
'cause every now and then you always flashes through the lenses of my eyes...
my first for 2016 (the come back) 11:31 am.

Yes
Therese Syang Apr 2018
Yes
If you come back
I'll Say yes
Even if It hurts
I'll Say Yes

I know I'd take risk
I know I'd lie
But I'll Say yes
I'll Say Yes to you

To you, who persists
Who wants me
And will not leave me
To be with me.

I'll forget..
the moments I watched him
the chances I gave...
I gave to myself

To see him
Fight for his dreams
Be happy
And achieve all of these

I'll forget and I'll say Yes.

I'll forget him and I'll say yes to you.

Even if it hurts...
Decisions with unstable emotions may be risky.

Be healed by TIME

Pride
Therese Syang Sep 2014
It gives you the rank
             makes you stood high
             creates your confidence
             and keeps you in mind...
Turns your head around
            It may be a good one
            but it makes your Ego corrupt your mind...

Body
Therese Syang Sep 2014
Strong as dignity
muscles curved in toned shapes
kindles one in every sight
Firm as cement
though touches one in soft caress
sturdy as ever with no regrets
*Stature of real prestige

of pride and of strength
lovely, *yes..lovely

truly is lovely
it is
Skin so fair
it glows,
no fail
Arms, so solid
with fingers, It tricks and tickles
holds one's curve
one feels,
one feels
A touch so pure
so sure and
secure

Feet are molded
motions free
and wild
A beauty, true beauty
A sight
of sage

A wonder
*one apprise
in words
so tender
for him...
#appreciates #a sight to see #perfection it is #just so he knows

Maybe I was to Blame
Therese Syang Oct 2014
Over thinking I maybe,
Pessimistic I maybe,
but Sorry, I was in pain

You judged me
Before you knew,
and I was fool
To think you're true
and I'm sorry,  because for sure
I was unsure

I was hurt and I felt blue..
and
Maybe I was to blame
I was to Blame

Talk, Tell Me
Therese Syang Jun 2018
When do we ever say we're over
With all the what if's and why
The sleepless nights
And the morning aches...

Is it the days you're okay,
Or is that just the thought of okay
But when that song is played,
Do you smile? or weakens you?

When was the last time you tell yourself "I'm done"
Was it done once? twice? thrice?
Or countless times?
When do we ever say we're over

Could it be forced?
Should it be now...
Most of us would say they're finally free and over it. But the truth is they lie just to cover it.

YOU & ME
Therese Syang Apr 2017
Everytime I think about you, keeps me wonder...
Your eyes tell a story that makes me think deeper...

Wondering what those lips can tell that makes my ears want to hear without weary...

Never cared about your presence but every minute that chances give in seeing you each day, makes me seek your face in the place we first met.

Everytime I start to think about you, emotions of happiness fade between thoughts that reality may never drag us closer together...

For YOU and ME is the sweetest yet the saddest words that WE could never be.
Only for the brave hearts

Hands shaking

Eyes widened
Nose smoking
Sweat, keeps on rolling...

Pleasure of having
Unstoppable
Uncontrollable

Hopeful Dreamer
Therese Syang Sep 2014
A body of Innocence
filled with unexceptional notions

Innocent of the occupied realm
     of reality...

With the vows of assurance
to the betterment of oneself

Burdened by the Ignorance
and Denial of others...

Pictures the amused self
but a Projection of confusions...

Maintaining a moderate phase
of Life

And growing with the Faith of
Truth and Compassion to a
Self of *Hopeful dreamer

She
Therese Syang Sep 2014
She
She's a Beauty, a creation of Love
She's a Need, a patch of Satisfaction
She's a Warmth, the cold's longing to Have
She's a Fruit, the hope of Frustration

All that has left was given to Her
And black words were spoken to Her
Facade of serene is seen unto Her
Yet, Broken glasses is what's kept within **Her
She'll always be a hero, mama

You Love or Loves You
Therese Syang Sep 2014
You have this feeling
of sparkle and joy
to a fellow that
you have
known

You
have  been
given a sparkle
and joy from a fellow
who's been with you for so long

He's the one you long to see
and talk to him 'till light
turns dim

now, He's
the one who finds a time
to see your face and spiel some feels

You ache
to see his heart of steel

You pity
to see his heart's in tear

You have the options to know what's real

1...
...2

*You Love
or
Loves You
they say choose the one who loves you, but then follow who you want to be with even if he gives you the ache ...well its up to you

It's not you, It's me
Therese Syang Mar 2018
You have a Pure Heart
But sorry it's hard for me to keep it

You are Innocent
But sorry I still can't see it

You are Lovely
But sorry I can't feel it

I tried...
And I am still...

The Chances I gave, It was forced
'Cause I felt pity on you
though it's not your Worth...

But I tried...
And it pained me...

To see you Loving me...

I know your Intentions
I know I'm secure

I can see you're Real
I can sense how you Feel

I am pleased with your Honesty
I am Loved by your Heart

But sorry I tried...
And It pained me...
To Love somebody

And It pained me...
That I owned it,
That he didn't know it...

That he will never know it.

And still it pained me...
That I can't Love you Back

Like how He can't Love me Back

And it pained me...
Thank you for the sincerity but honestly I am still confuse.

Goodbye
Therese Syang Jun 2018
I saw you when we were young
But never get the chance to talk

I still can see you even when you're away
But not quite

Now that we've grown up
I still feel the same

There are moments I've watch you from afar
and I was taken for granted

Now that you will forever be afar...

I guess, I have to admit...

That you will never be mine

I'll stop here.
my feelings for you will be a part of me forever
but I guess It'll be a history for the both of us.
And you don't have to know.

My Christmas Eve
Therese Syang Dec 2018
I was glad you're back
In me, It was destined
It was like magic
And the joy sprouted again
This time with glee

I knew you still want me
And I'm glad you did
Because the moments you were gone
We're the time I search for you

On the 24th of December
I plan to give you my Yes

Days before, I waited for you
But there were no replies
I waited...again... I waited

Early morning, a fine day
I was hoping you'd say 'Hey'
7 days before Christmas eve
When I knew, I will never have you

Hoping you're happier with her
Cause now you left me confused,
blanked and broken...

Still, I'm sorry
That you can't wait

But sad goodbye
For I chose to Love you now
It was painful when you said you Love me but the next day you were gone...
How? Why did you leave?

ignore
Therese Syang Nov 2017
When I Smile at you
Do you even care?

When I Look at you
Are you even there?

When I talk to you
Will the faith keep us here?

In this moment, In this chance?...

Will you...
Will you see me... as I am?

UNTIL YOU CAME
Therese Syang Nov 2017
Spending time alone and keeping the moments on my own.
Were once a notion I thought was for sure
I only felt free with my own will
And never have compared to those with a pair

I left home never thinking who to meet
Never cared they have someone to lovingly greet
What I only knew was "I am happy being me"
And not "being with you, date, merry and be free"

For years I have grown and have matured
So as my age, my hair, my faith and my goals
I still didn't mind, still didn't care
I wasn't scared nor was afraid

But faith was fair and find it's way
Though I did fake for my feelings would fade
Yet you were there and made it sway
Smooth with Flare, naturally laid it there

I was just honestly unaware and didn't mind it anyway
But like leaves that fall,
never knew were to go, which way to settle on, It hurts that nobody knows

Until YOU came where I landed on.
GOD'S GIFT

— The End —
