THE NIGHTINGALE'S LAST SONG
monaparanoia Apr 2021
Once there was a lonely crow,
Who fell in love with the nightingale's broken soul
Bewitched by his otherwordly beauty and frailty
She yearned for his song to possess of her body

The nightingale fell in love with the crow's genuine affection
Of how she visited every day to listen to his misfortunes
She accepted his whole being despite of his imperfections
A broken bird like him doesn't deserve to have salvation

They shared a special bond, no one in this world could understand
One moment of their affection is eternity in Time's hand
The two understood that Fate abhorred their unlikely passion
And one night, they knew, everything came to a conclusion

"Sing with me, my love", the nightingale hums
"For this is a memorable night  I wish that would last"
The crow who does not sing, sang a song full of love
Two incompatible birds wove their melodious sounds

"Will you hold my hand while I sleep?", the tired nightingale pleads
The crow nodded her head, not looking at his misery
While holding his hand, she promised of unending songs of devotion
The nightingale closed his eyes and dreamed of their reunion

Everyday just like yesterday
I remember our time, so tender
I am a bystander and you are a painter
Two unlikely pair who had a fateful encounter
I wish in my heart we could have met sooner

Everyday just like yesterday
I am falling deeper
Hate to be saved just to be with you longer
If you are sinning itself, then I am a sinner
Like harmony and melody we are in sync forever
Addicted to your presence I've become sinister

Thanatos knocked on our door last December
He envied the love we have altogether
He put his claw hands beside your shoulder
And that was the last time I saw you livelier
Now I'm a love bird who lost her lover

Everyday just like yesterday
I long for your laughter
To touch and feel your lips as you whisper
Our happy memories are now in embers
The 'you' in my thoughts, I cannot remember

Breathe Again
monaparanoia Feb 2022
Let me breathe again
Make me calm and steady
These thoughts are heavy
Weighing me endlessly

My heart feels hollow
Im here drowning in sorrow
Waiting for myself to burrow
My past self demeanor

On the edge of sanity
Trying to be steady
I am falling from reality
This is driving me crazy

Make me breathe again
Hold me like there's no tomorrow
Let days pass and be over
Just you and me, together

But I am in pieces
Can't bring you down in the process
Dont be so reckless
Leave me and end this madness

This is the curse Im living
Regretting every single thing
Blaming my faults unto anything
Leave everything, breaking

I want to breathe again
Hoping this was all just a dream
But this is just a wishful thinking
When all I want is to be free

— The End —
