Broken
Sit down and read me like a book
Don't judge me just by my look
Like every other human, I too
need to be love more and more
Friends do not draw near
Dying without notice is all I fear
Living with a broken heart
Only adds pain to my body parts
Acting like I'm all strong
Perhaps that's where I have gone wrong
I needed someone to lean on
But it seems I only have me, myself and I
I believe things will get better
But will things ever get better?
I look inside the mirror, I hate what I see
All the lies hidden behind my mask
when I pull it off my face
I hope things will be fine
I'm tired of this life of mine
I wish for great things to happen
But in the end will I ever by happy?

To The Ever Selfish Friends
How many sleepless night I had
How many times had I sacrificed my sleep?
Waiting for someone that haven't exist
Then it came upon me again
The pain of betrayal
Just the price I have to pay
For being way to loyal
The passion you pretended
Was only to obtain
But when my charm has ended
The charmer in me you disdain
It hits me hard again
The pain of abandonment
The pain of shattered trust
Is there no friend who's true?
Farewell to you my friend
I'm going somewhere else
To those places where I'm reciprocated
Where I'm no longer alone
In my own abundance

Heart Of A Loner
Deep in my heart I'm a loner
living my life a stranger
In my shelter
I've tried to blend and be sociable
but the more people i meet
the more disappointed I am
I'm a loner in my current state of mind
Keeping my space like I'm in paradise
There is nothing you can do to make me feel otherwise
Deep in my heart I'm a loner
But in my loneliness I found solace

Note From The Battlefield
Dear friends and family
From the battle field I write this piece
With my blood as ink
Few words I wish to say
Before the bullet pierce my heart
The gun shot is not ceasing
Fellow soldiers are falling beside me
Death had visited the battlefield
Like a special guest of honor
Don't feel sad
Home I will return to one day
Life is just a battlefield
Not until I conquer all odds
I will make sure not to run out of breath

Shattered
It was such a beautiful moment
When things were smooth between us
When there was emotions in every greetings
When you spoke without a fury
Like a smoke our love vanished away
Asking myself the same question all day
If there could be pain in a place where there was so much love?
Things were so great from the start
Never had the thought I would end up a pain in my heart
Letting you go caused me so much pain
The pain that gave me nothing as a gain
I guess there is nothing left for me do
That can get me back to you
I've nothing left to lose
All bridges had been crossed
I guess our love is lost
All we had turned to dust
And my heart had began to rust

Silence Confession
I'm not too good with words
But they say silent speaks
And screams
Even speaks louder than words
And cut through the heart like swords
If the words from my mouth aren't enough
Listen to silence beat from my yearning heart
Like loving couple
I want to walk with you hand in hand
As silence echoes through my eyes
Whispering the words I couldn't utter from my mouth
Look into my eyes
When we go on a moonlight stroll
As it divulged the secret of my heart
To your attentive ears
Under the bright moon
And the twinkling stars
The crickets will stop their evening song
The bird and animals will listen
Softly as silence speaks of my love to you

The Dish of Life
I have tasted the dish of life
Some part delicious
Some part are sour
I have tasted life in different dishes
The ones garnished with pepper
And those that are salty
I have seen men dinning
Some served with a golden plate
And some their plates made of clay
Some had enough
Some never had at all
Who dished the meal of life?
Some are made to beg
Some dine even on bed
Who prepared the the meal of life?
A man life is a meal on earth
And when he dies,
he becomes a meal to earth

Tales of my Heart
I'm not too good with words
But for you I would say every single word
Not to impress you
But to let you know what I felt for you
I may be shy or sometimes scared
To tell you how I feel
That's because I don't want to seem needy
Even though I really need you
Three little words don't seem enough
For you, who brightens my day with your smile
I love you can't express the depth of my feelings for you
I hope you know what it's in my heart
If I had the words to describe my feelings for you
I would be the happiest man in the universe
But words seems to fail me time and time again
So I have to settle for the words of this verse

Whispers of Suicide
It started when hope is no more cure to worriness
But a defer to live, in this life of weariness
Voices from the silence speaking out loud
Forcing me to dance to an unpleasant sound
The reasons to live became the reasons to die
Read my lips its not a lie
I hope my next action is understandable
Soon I might become unreachable
Hanging onto every tiny bit of hope of this world
An awful voice whispers to me to commit suicide without saying a word
Deep within me I lost all hope
Life is too unbearable, I just can't cope
In my consciousness and unconsciousness
There are whispers in my head
Voices humming something I never heard
Dear friends and family I'm dying
Check my lips I'm not lying

Diana
The first time we met was when I fell for you
It was hard to believe
If you would like me too
Though the thought was too hard to conceive
I think of you everyday
Not knowing what to say
You have no idea, you have no clue
Just how much I think about you
I tried not to stare, I tried not to hide
I tried not to show I have always hide
I tried to let you know how I feel
But voices inside me makes me hush
Burying it down inside my heart
Hoping that nothing falls apart
I hope my heart will never be broken
All because of my love unspoken
