"City Lights"

The flickering shots of urban glows,

The scars pockmarked by paper cuts I yearned from busy days,

The unfathomable depth of the smokes

And the screeching screams of horns that almost broke my peace,

The shiny steel-and-glass edifices I passed by after a tedious day where I used to ponder my reflection in my wasted school uniform,

The blaring silence of my loneliness before I kissed the moon good night,

And the nostalgia the soothing breeze of my hometown had caused me,

Were the only turning points I minded before I hurried to pack my luggage and sought my way home.

I almost forgot those things that stood by me    when I grieved all night at my own tomb.

Until the van accelerated in its first few meters and painted the quintessence of the life I parted ways.

There were blinding dim lights yet bright laughters stunned.

I was wrong when I foretold I'll never miss the city lights.
