So many obstacles our friendship transcends
Merry Christmas one and all
Those who picked me up whenever I fall
Merry Christmas special one
The one whose smile is like the sun
Merry Christmas to you & me
Forgetting the times we disagreed
Merry Christmas once again
Time to pop those bottles of champagne
We’ll drink away all the pain
And the happiness, we all would feign
All the people we would entertain
Being sad, we would refrain
For its Christmas once again

I miss you, in a silent way
These “miss-yous” are here to stay

I learnt to love
& then I lost
But I’m still glad
Our paths have crossed
In 2008,
For the first time
I felt
How it feels to be loved
And how a heart can melt
In 2008,
I’ve made some friends
That soon became foes
Who’s to pick up the pieces?
Who’s to end the pathetic prose?
In 2008,
I learnt a thing or two
About the person in me
Uncovered was the weaker side
I never thought I could be
In 2008,
I held on tight
to certain things
But how long more
should I be waiting?
With that I say in 2009,
I hope to start afresh
That miracles will occur
That things would turn over
& my mind would start to clear
I will not harp on
what is past
I’ll try to move on
But not too fast
For if again
I saw you in 2009
I hope that magic would
Once again make you mine

I’ve lived in doubt
Over my head,
Lived a grey cloud
I tried to open
The doors of my heart
I tried to keep it together
But I kept falling apart
For too many nights
You stayed on my mind
& I can never forget
The day I left you behind
The vision now
Is just too blur
To want me back,
I know you’re unsure
I keep reading
Between the lines
I keep searching
But there’re no signs
& of all the memories
That we share
Goodbye’s the only memory-
To erase, I’d bear
Now I need
A little direction
Better yet,
Some distraction
Now I can’t tell
If things are real
Or if you’d ever know
The way I feel
One thing for sure
That you should know
I’m sorry for
ever letting you go

Mariah Carey- I Still Believe
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know it’s crazy but
You can still touch my heart
After all this time
You’d think that I
Wouldn’t feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing’s changed
(Chorus)
I still believe, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
I had a dream, someday you and me
Will find ourselves in love again
Each day of my life
I’m filled with all the joy, I could find
You know that I am not the desperate type
If there’s one spark of hope left in my grasp
I’ll hold it with both hands
It’s worth the risk of burning
To have a second chance
No no no no no noo, I need you baby
I still believe that we can be together
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again
(Repeat chorus)

Since you were home
I’ve been yearning for you
Yet I leave it unknown
You’ve been busy
Since you got home
I’ve been calling your name
But my voice, you’ve outgrown
I’ve been lonely
Though you’re home
I’ve been trying to reach you
But your presence, not shown
And it’s been a while…
& now that you’re home,
Will you still love me,
Or will you let your love roam?
Because now that you’re home
So much nearer to me
I still feel cold,
And still so alone
So when is it,
Will you really be home?
For the heart, is where the home is.

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guranteeThat I'll never let you go
Chorus:
Can we go back to the days
when our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they use to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee
So many nights I dream of you
Holding my pillow tight
I know that I don't need to be alone
I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me
chorus
Gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirt of love
It can heal all things
We won't hurt anymore
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home

View From the Top No.1
back at square one
they both stood
his mind is empty
but hers filled with doubt
eye to eye they met
without batting a lid
her mind; filled with questions
his mind was blank
it was silent
but not awkward
the air that surrounded
cold and stale
the ground grew thin
and soon they'll float
no movement, no sound
he and her, as I watched from above
View From the Top No.2 [her]
back at square one
we both stood
his mind was empty
but mine filled with doubt
eye to eye we both met
never batting a lid
my mind filled with questions

it was quiet
but not at all weird
the air that surrounded
cold and stale
the ground grew thin
and soon we'll float
no movement, no sound

View From the Top No.3 [him]
back at square one

my mind was empty

After much reading, I realised that I could somewhat relate to it too
& maybe you & her & him & some others.
Here goes...
On this lonesome night,
A heart that ached
While others asleep
He lay awake
He thought about life and love
And in between,
How it worked,
And what it meant to him
While others walked forward
He was two steps back
How he’d wish now
They’ll cut him some slack
Lost in translation
He seemed to be
Unknown destination
& the need to be free
Love brought some light
For an instance or two
Then love tore him up
Nothing left to pursue
What’s left of life
Of love, of him?
What’s left of this world
Other than its’ lucid dreams

watching the world go by.
This man who appears slightly queer,
was to someone very dear.
His whole life
He has slogged it out
So his family never had to worry
In times of drought
Each wrinkle on his face told a story
Each story held a worry
The worries he never wanted
His family to carry
His heart felt heavy,
most of the time
But the smiles of his children
His heart; sublime
The sacrifices he made aplenty
The promises he made never empty
Only the best he wanted them to have
Even if it was till his very last breath
Despite them failing him at times
They never failed to brighten his world;
To make it shine
So quietly he sat in the corner,
Wondering if he had been a good father
If he had the chance to live again,
The same wife he’d choose
And the children, the same
The thought of another life,
He couldn’t bear
For as far as he knows,
Nothing compares

Bearing the pain you brought to her sight
Though you’ve always gave her the best
You failed to see the things she detest
Once or twice, she thought of walking away
But her love for her children made her stay
Each day passed, seemingly normal
But the love in her just grew lesser
Her faith’s the only thing pushing her on
Yet she found it hard to forget the things you did wrong
Every night she lies next to a stranger
A man whom she once loved so tender
How long more can she bear this emotional drought
For the soul in her wants to fly
To seek the happiness she once left behind

Lifehouse- Broken
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain is there healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hangin' on to the words you say
You said that I will, will be ok
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, having forgot my way home

Let me be there in the night,

To show you my love is genuine.

Of her past
Her life flashed
Before her very eyes
It was time
The time of her life
The time where she’ll be gone
& this time, never coming back
So there she lay
Only one thing in her mind
The question that’s been lingering
For days, and now for the last time
Wondering if you’ll ever forget the way she smiled
And how she looked into your eyes
Will you ever forget the way she looked?
& how her hair, you’d always stroke
Will you?

She’s glad she tried
To prove to you
Her love was no lie
For it seems
Logic took over
And for that
You’d rather love suffer
Like what they said
What goes around
Comes around
She’s finally touching ground
Afraid to love
Her all over again
Afraid that the love
She wouldn’t sustain
Afraid that one day
Again, she might leave
But isn’t love
All about taking a risk?
You’d rather think about
What’s to come
Then to love
& protect her from harm
She’s tried her best
I’m sure she did
But eventually
She’ll have to admit defeat
To the love
She once let slip

It all came so easy, all the loving you gave me
The feelings we shared, and I still can remember
How your touch was so tender, it told me you cared
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn't see, until it was gone
A second once in a lifetime, may be too much to ask
But I swear from now on
Chorus:
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll love you much better
If ever you're in my arms again
This time I'll hold you forever
This time will never end
Now I'm seeing clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There's something between us
That won't ever leave us
There's no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn't know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a lifetime
Isn't too much to ask
'Cause I swear from the heart
(Chorus )
The best of romances,
deserve second chances
I'll get to you somehow
'Cause I promise now

Is to put them down in words
Some of you may feel the same
While others feel it’s absurd
As I unlock the gates to my mind
I think of what to write
All the words I’ve got to find;
To place them in my sight
Recently, I’ve found it hard
To decipher all my thoughts
And when I searched deep in my heart
It only spoke of the low odds
So I tried to pen how I feel
Intending for you to know
Hoping your heart’s left unsealed
Waiting for me to make it whole
But as each day passed
My heart slowly grew stale
Wondering how long it’ll last
This one sided fairytale

A Wish
My wish for now:
Fireworks; light up the night sky
A reason to celebrate
Champagne bottles aplenty
It’s you & me, finally
A toast for the past, to be soon forgotten
A toast for now, a happy reunion
A toast for the future, that we’d still be together
We’ll bask under the moon so bright
I’ll be the damsel, and you’ll be my knight
Oh, they would say “what a lovely sight”

Holding on for you
Liberty X- Holding on For You
Sunshine fades to grey
The second I'm away
Minutes turn to hours without you
Time keeps marching on
The summer's been and gone
And I'm still here alone still waiting
* I'm on my own a million miles away
Temptation all around
It Won't be long so please be strong
Cause I'm holding on for you
People make mistakes
Cause we are only human - lets face it
And I struggle through the day
Pretend that I'm ok
And make believe that you're here beside me

You are the one that I can truly believe in
So don't ever think that I would ever diss ya baby
Without a doubt you are my rhyme and my reason
And I won't let you down

Songs that Speak #1
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
(Repeat Chorus)
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

Transitions
However, I believe that if one is strong in faith and believes firmly in her/himself, she/he would then not succumb to changes easily. Meaning to say, throughout the course of transitions, they stay true to who they really are or change only for the better.
If I were to say, I think I am more of an individualist rather than one who would conform to the different environments. Others may beg to differ but heck it, I know myself best.
A different light
A different definition of paradise
A different me
A different you
People change and that is true
I can’t comprehend
I just can’t see
Why you’re acting so differently
Used to be close, now far apart
But it doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter much to me
But rather to that boy who’ve waited so patiently
If you’ve moved on, found a better life
Or rather able to find a better guy
Let go of him & let go of the lies
Let him too find a better paradise

make it the last
Shadows filled my empty heart
I have failed & love faded away
Lost behind in the sunnier days
The falling raindrops hid my tears
Like a mask it hid my pain
Feeling so jaded & broken inside
Wishing I wasn’t alone tonight
Nothing else seemed to matter anymore
In these ever-changing days
Only one thing remained in this heart so cold
A piece of the past I find hard to let go
Maybe our love never went away
Maybe it was me who found it hard to stay
But it’s too late, time to move on
Soon to come, this rain would too be gone
By then I hope we’d find a place
Where our hearts belong & love regained
Where our souls can rest and peace remains
& where the sun would over shine the rain

The End.
Have there been occasions in your life where you felt deserved a better closure than to be left hanging? Or rather you end something but somehow you do not get that settled peace in you?
You wished you had a chance to end things in a better light;
If I were given 1 wish, 1 week and just 1 thing to do
I would gladly give those days to be with you
Relive the happier times we used to have
Forgetting the moment we both left
In love and romance we shall bask
No answers needed, no questions asked
We’ll do the things we planned to do
Anything; just as long as it’s with you
For the times we missed, I’ll make it up
Hopefully enough to mend that broken heart
When those 7 days come to an end
I hope that broken heart, I have amend
One last embrace, one last kiss
One last look before this love dismiss
Tears in our eyes, we then take our leave
Our unsettled hearts can now live in peace

The heartache that was not heard of
I have been hiding in for a while now
No one’s heard of me
Even if they did, it didn’t leave much of an impact
For some time, I thought I was going to disappear into thin air
But then I thought wrong
It’s been quite tough staying on the inside
So I decided it’s time to step out
I went to the doctor
But guess what he said
My pain was too trivial
What was there to cure?
I was THAT insignificant
I tried to explain to others
But they too, felt that it was too trivial a matter
Well I guess, no one would understand
I just have to keep searching
For the cure to this pain
When that day comes
I’ll no longer be called heartache

That one time
Was there one time when you finally get a huge load off your shoulder and just when you thought you could actually feel relieved after a long time and then *bham* another whole lot of crap just falls on you; was there?
Was there one time where you felt that it’s time to be selfish and just make a decision based on personal choice but have it backfired and cause hurt to so many other people; was there?
Was there one time when you just wished there was someone to tell you what to do? For me, I wished that one time was now. And I wish I had the ability to know what to do.

“The Square Root of Three” by David Feinberg
I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

angst
So many things brooding inside of me
Never the victim; always the blame
Sanity left as soon as it came
Obligations; wanting to be nice
Eventually my movements were deemed as a vice
People shouldn’t try to understand
As things turn out based on what they’ve comprehend
Defending their actions and their words
Making it appear like they’ve been hurt
Aren’t they aware that I have feelings too
Lowering my morale, they have no clue
Passing on judgments and hurting remarks
Causing my skies to turn from grey to dark
Acting nonchalant to the grieve they’ve caused
Absence of empathy on this soul they’ve crushed
Tear away the façade, just be true
Stop making me look like a bloody fool

Spice Girls- Let Love Lead The Way
What makes this world go round
Will the answer let her down
She is so sweet and youngAnd her life has just begun
What does her future hold that's the story left unknown
Will she make it through her days
let our love lead the way

Part of me laughs
Part of me cries
Part of me wants to question why
What good is their joy
And why is there pain
Why is there sunshine and the rain
One day you're here
Next you are gone
No matter what we must go on
Just keep the faith
And let love lead the way
Everthing will work out fine
If you let love, love lead the way
Sitting there all alone

When one’s words get misconstrued
When at times someone thinks they understand you more than they should
When thoughts get mixed up
When assumed conclusions interrupt
When people infer without clarity
When it ends up hurting someone else’s purity
When lies & rumors become a rarity
When the simplest things become a complexity
When it gets harder to trust a person
When hearing the truth becomes as tough as arson
When one gets maligned of something he didn’t do
When unintended connotations make one look like a fool
When innuendos unintentionally surface
When culprits leave without a trace
When you realize the worth of something
When after all, it’s merely nothing
When time will help the truth to show
When it happens, low and behold
When it results to one being misunderstood
When without reasoning, you’ve been given the boot
When suddenly everyone around becomes a stranger
When you feel like you’d rather be a lone ranger
When you feel it’s better to be alone
When to nothing you’ve got to atone
When everything is best left unknown,

Here's her version of Rihanna's Take A Bow
TGND
Unique, you ?
Everyone could say
“oh, we’re different in so many ways”
but if that’s the case
wouldn’t everyone be the same
at the end of the day?
What makes me unique,
I’ve hardly any clue
my ability to write poetry?
But others do too
therefore calling that unique
isn’t all that true
No weird birthmarks nor a crooked nose;
Just like most people, I have normal toes
what makes me unique,
I really don’t know
Just like most people
lost in this superficial world
searching and seeking
wondering how to be a unique girl
Not conforming to society’s standards
just living life as it was intended
trying to stand out and be unique at times
in order to survive this world, one need to shine
So if you ask me now, what’s unique about me,
I don’t really have an answer as you can see
but maybe in years to come
hopefully soon
the answer to my uniqueness
may slowly bloom.

Letter To God
Dear Lord Jesus,
This prayer I pray comes from within
Searching for the answers I’ve been longing
There’s this emptiness inside of me,
One that only you and I can see
Lord Jesus, I need some rest
My mind’s tired from all the mess
Teach me savior to be contented
Living life as though it was extended
As the world forsakes me
You hold me up
You keep me strong
When things go wrong
I’m only human; normal to falter
But your Grace for me never altered
Daddy God, thanks for your love
Without you, I wouldn't survive this earth
Love,

Funeral
Everyone came dressed in pink
Even the coffin; the color pink
As I looked from above and down to earth
I saw people gather, the people I love
Into the pink box they slowly peered
Each one of them then slowly tear-ed
In the pink box laid a girl slightly over twenty
With such a peaceful look, you’ll hardly ever see
I saw my parents, and my brothers
My friends and some others
I wish I could tell them
I wish they could see
That this place I’m in made me extremely happy
I had no worries & no cares
Nobody scrutinized, nobody stared
From the cruelty of life, I’ve been spared
Then I saw my mother
She was sobbing in a corner
But I know she knew
My life was now renewed
My father had his shades on as usual
But behind those black lenses was a battle
He had lost his only daughter
Never again was he going to see her
Then there were my brothers
Entertaining the guests;
Explaining to them how I found my rest.
They had lost their only sister
And to keep strong they tried their best
Relatives and friends gathered around
No one smiled
Not much sound
The clock strike 6
And it was time
7 cages of doves
Released to the sky
It was her wish
My last wish
That these doves were released
To where I now exist
All the sad faces turned around
Only smiles, no more frowns
That’s when I knew
That now they know
I’m finally rested
In my perfect home

Whose League?
You need a friend, you call me
But still I know I’m out of your league
I’m there when you need company
Yet I’m still way out of your league
I try to care for you when you’re sick
Still, I’m kept out of your league
Not slim nor pretty, ain’t your cup of tea
Completely driven out of your league
I thought I liked you, maybe I did
But I realized I’m totally out of your league
So use me for now, make me weak
Till the day you become out of my league
Stay in your league,
