Mediocrity Of A Man

When you were with me
I can breathe
I can live
You made me feel
extra-ordinary
Every single day

I look forward
Waking up each day
With you in my arms
Tucked safe

You made me want
To be a better man and
I want to be perfect for you
Just you are to me
Because you are my life
My everything

But when I lost you
I become just a man
Without extra in front
of ordinary

A man rotting away
Living without any purpose
Drifting far away
In nowhere land

Life became meaningless
I become a man
full of weakness
Withering each time
Passes by

Just waiting for darkness
To take me and
Not wake up
Again

Chasing The Sun

I was too far gone
To find the light again
I’m lost in my own
Damn mind

I just want to
Find my way back
To your arms
Again

I am standing here
Lost in the sea
Too far down to
See the glimpse
Of the sky

I am stuck in the darkness
And there is nothing
I can do
To change your
Mind

I don’t want to live in lies
No matter what I say
Your eyes lie
The same way
Every time

So I am here
Chasing the sun
Hoping to find
The pieces
You left
Behind

Recovery

She lost a battle a time or two
She had given up once but
Made it through
She cut the thread
That is sewn on her torso
Letting go of the tethered thread
That connected them
And so

There is nothing to lose
When all is said and done
All is left are the deep scars
That was left behind hiding
Beneath her sleeves but
The invisible cuts
Are the deepest wounds
She received

She sat in her patio
Stitching each seam
While humming to a song
With serenity
Thread by thread
Her hands moved swiftly
Until thousand of seconds
Has passed by
She realised
Once her wounds
Had healed
It will leave a gaping hole
That no one can truly fill

Be A Fighter

I’m still waiting here
Hoping one day
You’ll come back to me
Despite all odds are against us
I’m still fighting for what we had
Maybe if we bend a little bit
We could make it ’til the end

Baby you could try
We could try for more
Just hold on a little tighter and
Be a fighter
Never let go of your hold because
We’ll have the longest ride
Of our life
Baby it’s ok
As long as I’m with you
I’ll ride all the waves and
I’ll stand brave

Baby you could try
We could try for more
Just hold on a little tighter and
Be a fighter
With you
I’ll take my chances
No matter what other people say
I’ll never listen and
I’ll never cave

Baby you could try
We could try for more
Draw your sword and
Fight like hell
Be a warrior
And save us from hell

Come Closer

Maybe it’s time to let go
There’s no more seconds
To give
Time is not holding still
Its moving too fast
Way too quick
Holding on in the past
Is a waste of time

So come closer and
Hear my cries
My heart is aching
It keeps on breaking
A million times

Maybe it’s time to let it go
My hands are shaking
While remaking
How you held my hand
In my mind

So come closer and
Take a peek
At my soul
It keeps flicking
Dying on its own

I feel like
I’m a lost vessel
Lost and empty spirit
Travelling and searching
Into wilderness
Nothing to see but
A barren land
Without life

Come closer and
Hear my plead
Tell me, is it time
To let it all go
And set you free?

Tell me there is no hope
No second chances
No assumptions nor
Expectations to make
Because it’s already
Too late

Crashed

My heart has been
Crashed today
And I’m hoping this is
The last time

Battle scars

I’m not sure who started first
But I think I lost count
Of our fights

Love forgotten
Tender kiss
Thrown out the door
You become a storm
And I the hurricane

We loved tenderly
With full passion and desire
But once we disagree
We rip each other apart
Our words become a dagger
And leaves permanent scars

You go on your own way
And I go on mine
But remember this
I loved you with all my heart
Question it all you want
If you have the right
Concept of love
Then I don’t need to explain
Everything I have done

I’m tired of justifying
Everything I do
When everything I said
Is genuinely true
I deserve more than half-truth
From you

Now it’s too late to turn around
The damage has been done
So pour me with your hate
Drown me with your pain
Let it come down
With the rain

I’m not trying to compete
Nor asking for war
It’s a battle lost right from
The start
