Why is pain so beautiful when it doesn’t hurt anymore? Why does love choke your heart when you think of it no more? Why does your heart break without telling you why? The music transcends to spaces, that you cannot hide Like the waves of a burning tide Like a heart beating the first time. [...]
Some people feel that they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces trying to close the gaps of the past into the depths of the sea. The sea only gives them harsh blows, occasionally the chance to blow strong. You’re wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from [...]
I am scared and restless these days like the evening tides of an ocean Tired and working with a half-mind, looking for a break all the time I’m the remains of other peoples’ sadness and miseries I’ve got someone angry so many times and they may never understand me I’m scared that I’m not [...]
