Is this what pain feels like
Is it a new emotion.
I know I have felt it before,
I know I have lost before.
But why does this feels different.
I know her not,
But why does her fading silhouette
Burn a hole through my heart.
Is this what pain feels like,
Is this a new emotion?
If it is, I never want to feel this way again.

You, love and I  is a lie
For if I were you, I wouldn't love me.
I wouldn't kiss me, the way you do
I wouldn't hold me, for fear of betrayal.
I would leave me because I know that I would leave you
I would love another man the same way I love another girl.
But I'm not you
And you don't know me, as well as you think you do
That is why,
You foolishly love me, with all your heart
And I betray you in the blink of an eye.
Showing you the truth,
That love is truly a lie

You
Every emotion I feel,
I feel it for you.
Every word I write,
I write it for you.
Though the 'you' changes,
Every once in a while,
The emotions are still the same.
A repeating cycle
That will never ever end.
That is you

I died.
I faded.
Like a dream, forgotten after wake.
I lost myself and you lost me too
Non-existent to you
To myself a ghost
I died.
But still I live,
Waiting to be revived.
Ignorant to the changes around me
A jaded memory, A forgotten name
I died.
Inside and out.

I need pain
I need joy
I need something
I don't care which
To make my empty life meaningful.
I need love, again
Even if it kills me.
I don't want to feel alone, empty.
I need something
Or someone
I just don't know, yet,
If it's you.

My chest is heavy
My eyes wet
I had to let go
But I wish you did it first
We couldn't be together
Couldn't even be friends
Our worlds were different
Even though we're both on earth
So I had to let go
Just wish you didn't care

I forgot that it's a new year
New beginnings and fresh start,
I'm a sinner and you're an angel
That I need to change and you don't
Everything I say is a lie because you say so
I shouldn't be happy because I'm not you
I should only celebrate when you want to.
If so then, Happy New Year
As you drown yourself in misery
