You Can’t See The World Through A Mirror

We say stupid things when we fight,

In the end we always make it right,

You blamed me, I blamed you,

There are some things we can’t undo,

We can keep throwing the blame around,

Or just lay our armors down,

From the day we became friends,

I knew this would never end.

You and Me we formed an unbreakable bond,

You were my strength when I wasn’t strong,

Two months, is a long time,

The right words I couldn’t find,

I wanted to find a way to tell you how I felt,

The only person I ended up telling was myself,

What you said really hurt,

The whole thing was so absurd,

You and me we’re like a package deal,

There’s no wound that can’t be healed,

But we can’t just pretend that nothing happened,

We’re stuck at this cross road, at a place I never imagined.

Don’t Go, Please

I'm losing her, she's slipping away.

I'm so choked up, there's nothing I can say,

The harder I hold, the further she goes,

She no longer loves me, everyone knows,

She has shut out the rest of the world,

She is no longer that innocent little girl,

I’ll love her till the very end,

For her every rule I’ll bend,

I tell myself, one day that love she’ll reciprocate,

But for now all I see in her eyes is hate,

There is so much I haven’t said yet,

But if she’ll just listen I’d tell her that,

“my darling sister, you mean the world to me,

But if you leave broken is all I’ll ever be,”

I need my big sister’s shoulder to cry on,

I need her to tell me, that all this pain will be gone,

She looks at me with so much spite,

Everytime I look at her, it’s like my hearts pierced with a knife,

He was not a man of many words and yet his eyes said so much. He was not a man of huge status yet he always held his head up high. He wasn’t anything yet he was everything. He was a translucent wall that kept everything inside. His smile could brighten up the darkest room. His laugh could melt the hardest heart.

He was my companion when I was lonely. He was my sun amongst the grey skies. He was my shoulder to cry on, he was my guidance when I was lost. He was right when I was wrong. He was the strength when I wasn’t strong. He was the encouragement when I had no confidence. He was my modesty when I was proud. He was my ladder when I couldn’t reach; he was the sky when I was the cloud. He was my permission when I wasn’t allowed. He was my punching bag when I was angry. He was the answer when I was confused.

His encouraging words lifted me up. His strength made me tough. He was always very busy yet somehow had time for me. His joyfulness made me forget my misery. He was my partner in crime. He was my definitions when I was clueless. He was the teacher when I was the student. He was the rose when I was the thorn. There are days I would kill him but I’d kill for him? Any day.

He listened to everyone and never complained. He tried to hide away all his pain. You’d never hear him complain and whine about how no one understands. You’d never see a tear roll down his eye. Not that he didn’t cry he just never showed it. That was him. So selfless so caring yet no one saw the gem he could be. Never was I able to thank him for always being there for me. Never was there a day when he wouldn’t listen to what I had to say.

He was my memory when I forgot; he was the softness when I was rough. But above all of that he was the brother I never had. He is the friend I will never forget.

Falling Leaves

As falling leaves hit the ground,

Without make the slightest sound,

I feel a sense of satisfaction,

When they float and reach their destination,

As they lay there so content,

I reflect on the time I’ve spent,

All the anger and hurt I’ve felt,

With great difficulty I have dealt,

With all the lies and all the tears,

I’ve scraped through all these years,

But as the leaves glisten in the sun,

I know that in the end they have won,

Because all the that they’ve had to face,

Now just seems like a wild goose chase,

And to them my heart I extend,

For their courage, for embracing their end,

Next time when I feel that life isn’t worthwhile,

I’ll think of the bold falling leaves and smile,

For I know the storm has already begun.

But in the end a stronger person I will become.

A Twist In My Story


We made a promise to each other,
A promise that we'd always stay together,
Now as the rain washes those promises away,
To you I have nothing left to say,
As I think about the days gone by,
I wish we never had to say goodbye,
But wishes never do come true,
Because if they did today I'd still have you,
Tears always well up in my eyes,
When you walk past with a replacement by your side,
You say that everything is still the same,
If you don't notice then that's a shame,
Are you that blind that you can't see,
How you talk to everyone else but me?
But I guess I'm not supposed to reflect what's in my heart,
Because I knew this would happen right from the start,
So today,
This is all I have to say,
We've drifted so far apart,
And I don't know what to do,
But as long as you're happy,
I will be happy for you :)
