dear friend

it's been a long time since we haven't met
and boy was i so glad to see you
the long absence of time did not melt
the friendship that we once had

we talk of things that were unheard of
we spent some time that's worthy
we crossed roads that were rough
going to places we sought to see

God is good to make us meet
You may not know but it's got to be
heaven sent to waste that day
of spirituality and unity

but my friend

something's changed
you talk of things that were unheard of
you speak of sorrowful words 
you taunt me by not coming back

this friendship i bound to keep
for all eternity for all i can give
but you are pushing me away
it's as if you don't want me to stay

i'm not the kind to force myself
into something that's not for me
if you want to cut ties with me
then so long and let it be
 
When I met someone as fragile as me...

hush hush beautiful soul
don't be afraid to let your mind soar
to where no one dares to go

do not shudder my little one
follow your dreams and let it lead you
to where you are destined to be

hear the music outside and feel its beat
don't let it bring your heart down
and trample on your fragility

open up don't be afraid
don't let your demons get you
free your heart and soul

ease up lighten up
share your light to the world
you've yet to realize your own beauty
 
you made my day
you said words that sound so promising
you want to travel with me
you said i was the best that ever happened

but those...

those are just mere words
mere feelings...
transitory feelings...
they come and they go...

why should i believe it will be everlasting?

but if dreams can come true
if promises were not meant to be broken
if the world will bow down to one's wishes
i would want this feeling to last forever

but then...


it would be unrealistic...
 
this is like a dream
in a stream
full of wonder and gleam

it's the perfect timing
the one i'm wishing
got me to thinking

it completes the vow
and take a bow
it's here and now

it's like an illusion
a big delusion
into confusion

if this is all a dream
i never want to wake up
don't wake me up
i'll forever slumber and sleep
 
When at times I feel like I've strayed...

my heart cries
for the things i did
my heart cries
for regrets and past mistakes

my heart cries
for unfulfilled duties
my heart cries
for sinful deeds

my heart cries
for knowing what's wrong
and still doing it

my heart cries
ignoring my conscience
within

my heart cries
for wasted days
my heart cries
for moonless nights

my heart cries
for blood shed
my heart cries
for painful salvation

my heart cries
for redemption
my heart cries
for the Lord
 
Where did I go wrong I lost a friend?

are we friends or are we not?
then why do you do the things you do?
why does my heart beat in remorse
for the the way you make me feel?

what is friendship to you?
is it the exchange of favors in your benefit
or the lies you have carefully fabricated
that make it seem like the truth

why do you make me worry?
do i care for you as a friend too much
that i've had to sacrifice my own
for your own gain?

who are you anyway?
are you a friend or an enemy in disguise
sometimes i don't know you
i don't know what's running in your mind

when will this stop?
until my clock stops ticking?
will i ever be free
from this suffocating atmosphere?

it's breaking my heart
it's forcing me to do things
it's destructive
it's depressing
it hurts.

 
i'm sorry for breaking
a few hearts along the way
but have i really broken anything
or am i just imagining it

i'm sorry i didn't mean to
but should i really say sorry
does sincerity back up on
everything you say and do?

but even if it prevails
i would have to apologize
because i cannot return it
the way that you want it to

a prayer be with you
to mend thy broken heart
if ever it got broken
by a cordial decline

curse me. haunt me.
defile me. hate me.
but can i ever dictate the beat of my heart
can i ever pretend to succumb to one's desires

this curse has taken its toll
every time a heart dies
this curse is getting closer
saying thou shall never love again...
saying thou shall never commit thy heart to anyone again...
and thou will always be unrequited...

 
you're like a star i watch at night
always admiring your luminosity and beauty
capturing my breath and swooning me over

i'm always reaching for you
but you're always out of my grasp
always staying as a distant star above

my heart is crying out for you
can't you hear a thing
tell me how you want this to be

i'm always hanging at this cliff
always waiting until u see me
as i see and feel and dream of you

no matter how hard i conceal
i cannot deny how i really feel
it keeps coming back to haunt me

and if you want all of this to end
just say so and i will leave (but please don't...)
i cannot stand this open-ended affection
so please tell me everything...
 
sunny side
upside down
turning down the notch

winter hills
and colded chills
fevers to catch


morning sickness
empty stomachs
the road less travelled

chasing ghosts
with longing stares
haunt is unraveled


eternal bliss
how long i seek
that thou shall be mine

empty kisses
hand in hand
sure i'll be fine

 
Depression...

this sullen face is getting out of hand
always haunting me amidst everyone
turmoil lurks beneath where i stand
uneasiness continues, living undone

the noise doesn't seem to cease
the cries and wails keep ringing in my ears
unwanted uncertainty prevails amidst
the ground that don these things bring fear

can't seem to escape these solitary waters
flooding my way back to nowhere
angst-driven journey lay wherever
blood and sweat drips here and there

this never-ending path to despair
guided by false hopes and bad dreams
stumbling footsteps no one would care
whatever hindrances that come may seem
