She is dead.
It’s fate’s fault.
But only sixteen.
That’s too young
To leave us.
He found it.
Her dead body,
Under the dock.
She’d been missing
For 45 minutes.
She was dead
Before anyone knew.
He never forgot
Finding her there,
Already far gone.
The ambulance came,
But too late.
No hope left
That she might
Still be okay.
It tore him.
Tore him apart.
You could see
The hurt inside
His circled eyes.
It started small
Just a sore,
On his cheek.
But it grew.
And it spread.
From one came
Another and another
Painful sores on
His deformed face,
Eating him away.
Then he left,
To find help.
Because it hurt
Far too much.
Even inside him..
He was gone
A long time.
We were hoping
He found whatever
Help he needed.
We finally heard.
A letter came.
But from him?
We didn’t know.
We couldn’t tell.
Scrawled in marker,
Were two words.
Our hearts stopped.
There it said
Only: “HELP
JUDE”
He needs help?
Or found it?
We didn’t know.
Then we saw
Something more chilling.
A photograph slipped
From the envelope.
It was him.
But was it?
Didn’t look right.
His face, gone.
Rotted by sores.
Eaten all away.
Hollow. Empty. Gone.
Then we knew.
In silent shame
Our eyes closed.
Because we knew
We should have
Helped him first.
We were the
Help he needed
Before he needed
Anything at all.
“We didn’t know.”
A bad excuse
Because we knew.
We always knew.
You always know.

We were separated by thousands of miles,
But all I wanna see is your smile.
I just wanted to hold your hands,
But it'll worth thousands of grands.
The most important is
I can love you overseas
Yet you're still making my knees weak
Because it represents, the trust and love we seek.

Tik tok tik tok
I know it's been a long time
But I'm still waiting for you to arrive
Tik tok tik tok
It's already late,
Still haven't seen your shadows
or any noises you make
Tik tok tik tok
The air seems to be so cold
Now I can hear something breaking,
And a familiar tearing sound.
The sound of a heart that hoped

I worship your ghost
And I look for your shadow
But I've forgotten
That I'm the phantom
Running along the corridor
Searching.....
For my broken heart
That you keep in a jar
Too many pieces
Of bleeding love
You stored
Too many bottles of life
You've ripped out
Where's mine?!
I fall down to the floor
Drowning with frustration
Choked with anger
Knowing......
I'm just another additional art
Of the broken heart you've collected

Me and You
Me and you,
wild and young
stitching our veins to bonds
Turn this friendships for life and beyond
Cuts and wounds
I Sense the pain
So We Let it rain
Mouth speak the words
Heart collects the ache
Didn't mind to break the chain
So our Trust will gain
Speak my little nightingale
Freed me from my jail
Stuck in a dark opaque road
Buddy that ain't no fairytale
You have a hallowed out heart
Been hurt but it's hopeless
Darkness caving inside your soul
Seemingly blinding the best part
That nobody saw

I'm feeling so numb
Tears coming out
And it's falling on the ground
My heart that's whole
Been shattered to pieces
Trying to put it together but it won't
Memories from the past
Caving in, flashing back
Making me weak and drown
I am a beautiful rose
Rip me off
I'm full with thorns

I can't steal the star
From the sky
To furnish
Your dark canvas
Nor I can be
The moon
To shine within the darkness
But.....
I can be your diary
That holds your secrets
A presence
That will listen
To your devilish rhythm
No judgment
No execution
Just confessions
From heart to heart
To ease the burden
You carry inside
And.....
As the morning comes
I'll be vanished from your sight
But will forever stay
In your heart

I was smiling
With a crown on my head
I was pretty
And happiness
Shown in my eyes
But now....
There’s no more image
To define me
There’s no shape
To picture
How I looked like
Just dull colors
With torn paper
Stained with my tears
Unrecognizable.....
For I'm the faded portrait
That you used to paint
With love

Comparing them to us
Comparing us to them
Is not the right way to teach us
Instead you're just downgrading us
I wish you could say something great
Like a phrase full of possibilities
To make us learn from things around,
Not from what you thought
We should do to make us rise
No, I'm not happy
The way you treated us is bullsh!t
We do things you'd like us to do
Then leave us hanging in the middle of nowhere
Saying words full of wisdom
But the air is just the one who's listening
I wonder how we got this far?
I'm scared you'll eventually ask me
Something about the words I said from past
But how am I gonna remember those?
If only the one who cares is not even alive
Change the way you judge
Treat us equally and right
I'll do the favor and pay you back
With such a joy and pride

ME
I guess nobody can see
The truth that describes me
I'm used to be abandoned ,
Tasted all the emptiness
I have felt the coldest breeze
That's why Im still the strongest
I'm used to be a shadow
Hiding in somebody's back
Following the misleading path,
Still no words coming out of my mouth
Coz I'm still the innocent little kid
From the past

Such a wild world outside..... You said
Filled with danger
Yet....
I wanted to explore
For I knew
There would be pleasure too
Such a beautiful grief.... You said
When I walked away
But.....
What's the point to stay
When we could never
Start new
So keep those words silent
For we both knew
There’s not worth a fight
For something
That wasn't meant to be
For me and you
But remember on thing
That I've loved you
So true.....

Lost
In the sea of regret
This burden of guilt
Keeps pulling.......
Me down under
I'm sinking
Into the abyss
Never once
I tried to fight the current
Nor to keep swimming
To the shore
For I'm ready
To be faded
Dwelling
With internal silence
I just let.....
The echo of my heartbeat
To be heard
Bit by bit
Slowly......
Til it stops
For eternity
