The heart gets tired -
When darkness seems infinite
And it has scratched and fought its will and tried
Still pitch-black shadows remain, it gets tired.
...

The maestro of each beat of my heart
He makes it skip or double its usual pace
He brings me music we be near or apart
Sweet melody found me through him & here it stays.
...

Silence roared its deafening cry
Breaking the walls I chose as facade
Exposing tears I'd choose to dry
With my mask gone, everything looks bad.
...

Piece by piece the thread gives out
Inch by inch my patience shortens
Alas today, the light has dimmed out
I realized you're of no importance.
...

Why is it that amidst this sea of nourishment
I feel a bitter sting of rejection from you?
Tiny pangs of heartache within my tiny growing heart
Screams of the fact that you abhor the life I have.
...

A dilemma of a life to hinder or to spare
Uncertain whether it is a blessing or a curse
Unheard breathing pricking the conscience to agony
Springs of scarlet to be flushed down to forgotten.
...

Remnants of your laughter washed away with my tears
Against the shimmer of moonlight I pray for you
Darkness not quite fading, slowly I'm dying
But you don't realize.
...

His laughter sweetly echoed in my ears
My eyes bled in silence with stinging tears
The hollow of my loneliness craved for him
Yet he smiles back at me on a whim.
...

Each day I walk with a heavy heart
Wishing I never have to play this part
A scene I chose to be submerged in
Knowing that in this I could never win.
...

Love me or leave me I know I'll live
The ache and pain I'm sure I'd outlive
Tease me and please me, then break my heart
Im stronger now for I have played this part.
...

Come snatch me away I plead
I cry from the pit of emptiness;
On phantom wounds I so bleed
Hear, I’d trade my soul for happiness.
...

Springs of laughter
Showers of bliss
Moments I'm after
All that and this.
...

Let me look at you in the eyes just for this day
Let me hear every thought you have for today
And as i slowly sink in to your mind,
May I, the deepest emotions in you, find.
...

It's past midnight now and i am all alone
Facing these perplexing notes I ought to absorb till dawn
Trying to put them in my memory for grades' sake
Though deep within I know these facts I can hardly take.
...

How many teardrops do I have to cry
To realize that your love has gone dry?
How many heartaches can my heart endure
To accept that your goodbye is for sure?
...

Some days I just want to curl up in bed and cry
Losing you hurts so much that I sometimes wish I could just die
Some days it's such a pain even just to get up from bed
I sometimes wish I could just lie in there dead.
...

At night I switch the lights off and weep
Thinking of the sad memories planted in me deep
The darkness hugs me softly as I cling
To the memories that only dreams can now bring.
...

Everytime I think of the things we've been through
All our memories and our love that seemed so true
I can't help myself so I just break down and cry
And yes, inside my heart I slowly die.
...

Maybe someone's out there who's thinking of me
Wishing that somehow he would soon see me
Maybe out there, somebody's longing to be with me
Praying that soon, he could then be with me.
...

Listen closely to the quiet of the night
Can't you hear the lonely sounds of broken hearts?
Pay attention to all the hearts struggling to fight
Can you hear the silent weeping as their lover departs?
...
