FADED PICTURES

Tell me how
Are we supposed to live
You and I fulfilling our dreams
I have been searching for a friend

But the ship sails very far
I wonder where they are
The beauty of a picture in a frame
Is the cherished memory it brings

Thoughts which pierce the heart
Leaving an everlasting smile
To know how far to get true happiness
Is to measure the rate life is falling

The world is heartless
If not, how come we barely
Spend time with the people we love
Like knocking the door with no one home

Maybe I am been naive
The only one looking at the picture
I could never ask but this little much
Wish I have someone to take me home

WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO?

Where do broken hearts go?
Away from the cruelty of life
A world free of pains and regrets
With not a resentful cloud

Where do broken hearts go?

Shed away tears of sadness in the eyes

Reflected unforgettable past

Of emotion stabbed through the heart

I have tried to draw a line

To find the spot where life is right

The way I see it, love no longer reside

But a glimpse beyond the city of a dying star

Its terrifying been alone in the dark

No one understands what I have been through

The heart is wedged with no more conviction

She can't find a soul to confide

AN OCEAN APART

Life is beautiful from a distance
But in reality a renascence
From the pages of man conception
Found is a world in destruction

Not a billion raindrops
Or an hundred thousand tears
Can cleanse these wicked world
But the seed of an innocent child

Planted in the heart of every man alive
A new world with love breathe into life
Not just thoughts of love ones
But of every being in the universe
