Born in-between life and reality
A heart of a compromised mind
It is like aimlessly shooting at the star
Such dreams would never get very far
To a child, the world is made of love and care
To a mother, it is made of sacrifice
But to a father, it is about commitment
Life is perceived differently by every mind

My heart will be broken
If you are not around
I admitted, I am guilty
When you needed a friend
I was not there
Your feeling is betrayed
It seems I didn't care
How could I be so blind
Can you allow me just this once
To fix the things I have broken
This time I promise
I would not leave your hand
What ever it takes to be close to you
I am ready to face the consequences
Your heart is all I die for
Without you I am helpless

I look at the page
Empty and bare
I think of the words
I need to write there
The more that I think
The tears start to flow
They urge me to print
My feelings to show
I write and I write
My heart in your hands
I pour out my feelings
You don’t understand
The more that I write
My tears spill out less
I start to get angry
My words are a mess
I screw up my paper
Start once again
Fill up my paper
With words full of pain
I write then I read
I read and erase
When I imagine you reading
And the look on your face
My anger now melting
My words become kind
The hatred I felt
Now far from my mind
I pour out my feelings
My emotions the guide
I now fill up my paper
Words of love from inside
