STABBED











Right on this bed you told me you loved me,
And for reasons unknown i believed without doubt.
Little did i know those words would enslave me,
Blinden me, and leave me shattered.
I put my heart and soul into those words
And in the process I've lost my mind.
My heart is heavy
My soul is in pain
There's a rebel lying deep in my soul
Battling with let him go and let him stay
Like its an easy decision to make
When my body still yearns for your touch
We've always wanted a perfect future together
And we lived each day like a fulfillment of our to be
As we waited for it to come so we could flea
But here i am today,
On this same bed that once brought smiles on my face
And chills down my spine, at the touch of your hand.
Memories that appear anytime i close my eyes,
Making it difficult to let go, even if i need to
I'm filled with anger and pain
My heart is racing with so many emotions
Hoping to let loose and be free
How i feel i do not know
And what i know, i can't believe.
Like a knife you pierced through my insides with those last words
And now that emptiness still remains.
I sit here with thoughts crowded in my mind
But still not the slightest idea how to move on
I built my world around you
And now it all just crumpled and fell
My heart is bleeding
My soul aches
All for trusting

LOST IN THOUGHT

















So many things i wish to do
So many places i'd love to see
And more people i dream to meet.
One minute it seems to be moving in the right direction,
And the next, it all just fades away.
Maybe all of this wasn't meant for me?
How could i think something this good could happen?
Everything just seems so far from reality,
And everyone, even though my eyes can see, i can't reach.
But how could i for once even think this was meant to be?
I don't know what to do,
I don't know how to move on,
I've dream't this for so long just to watch it slip away.
But as always, its a dream that fades anytime i wake up.
Sometimes things happen so fast,
That i don't know what is really important to say or do
The wind seems to be moving along with all my plans, nothing stays
And as hard as i try, there's not much i can do but watch as it sways
So what if i don't dream?
And just scream,
Would it make any difference?
Will i be heard?
Or will it just be absurd.
I don't know who i am
I think i'm lost

LOVE ACCIDENTALLY
















They say love is blind
So i never thought i was seeing clearly the day i met you.
Your hazel eyes staring at me, seemed to have dared me.
And so my eyes lingered on,
Even though they were a bit wondered at your sight.
As the day went by I fell so quickly, i couldn't even feel myself fall
Here i was doing things i didn't imagine i could do,
Saying words i never knew my lips could speak,
Falling freely, in and out of love.
Things moved rather faster than i thought,
And got better even if we fought.
Nothing could hold back our emotions
Midnight calls were constant, even if we barely said a word
And the sleepover was a regular routine.
You made me fall so deep.
Maybe because we always ended up asleep,
Waking up the next morning and relieving all the moments
And at times doing it all over
Maybe i really i'm blind,
Or, i'm just out of my mind
But i think we better find a cure
Before we begin to think that what we feel is pure
Or maybe it really is.

HOLDING ON



Just in case you've forgotten that i still exist,
In case you think my heart has stopped beating for you,
Or if your body holds no remembrance of mine against it,

Dear Cupid,
I want you to know that i still care
Nothing has changed, my feelings are still bare
I want to remind you that, the touch of the sun
Against my skin is like your soothing hands caressing my body
And the raindrop falling on my lips
Feels likes yours against mine.
That with you, 
I find strength in my weakness
And light in any darkness

So Dear Cupid,
My hopes are still high
My faith is growing stronger
The fire still burns
And my love for you will forever remain.....
