A body lies beneath a duvet
Crumpled like a paper on a tight grip
Struggling to breath, for her heart aches
Her soul wanders in an endless pit

♣♣♣

Alone in an unfamiliar world she stayed
For she thought nothing awaits her on that familiar shade
She does not know it is where he stands
Waiting for her to turn around and run

♣♣♣

An ordinary night
The stars are not around
You're facing your phone
Waiting for his call
Then you realized
He isn't around anymore

♣♣♣

Is it wrong talking to you?
Is it wrong if I needed you?
Is it wrong to long for you?
Is it wrong if I loved you?

♣♣♣

One pity mistake and you're gone
One simple fight and we're done
Then why can't one simple sorry
Bring us back to where we began?

♣♣♣

How can someone, as delicate as you, manage to
Break my walls and break my heart in two
You are not even aware of it
But you just keep on repeating it
And I can't blame you for it

♣♣♣

It has been a while
I asked you
"Are you alright?
Is she treating you right?"
Then you smiled

♣♣♣

Could've sworn I saw you looking at me like how a lover looks at the one he loves
Maybe it was the reason why I was drawn deeper
I wasn't planning to
It was so wrong of me
Thinking that look was for me
Why hadn't I looked at my back?
She was standing there


♣♣♣


I was wondering if you ever loved me
Like how you have always said every time I said goodnight
Like how you tell me after every fight
Was it true?
Or was it just because I said I love you?


♣♣♣


I have this book I have always been wanting to buy
I kept on saying "one day I'll buy it, and when I do, I promise it'll be in my care forever"
I visit the bookstore as often as I could just to read a bit of it
I'll go home with the thought of saving up to acquire it
Then one day, when I had enough money, the book wasn't there
I asked the keeper
He answered, "Somebody got it a while ago, said he saved up his money for that book. He was too excited that he was already here half an hour before the shop opened."
Guess I was too late
