LOST ROMANCE





I see you knocking on door of my heart
Asking to let you in tonight
It got me feeling awful and sad
Trading my pride to a patted end

What you seek, I no longer have
Can't afford a heart broken twice 
I met you, whom thought to be an angel
Loved you very much, the world can tell

You took me on a regretful rail
A journey build on violence, deception and lie
I have no more self believe, my shell is empty
I took all the trashes out

I have got no more conviction
A heart but of redemption
Sold into slavery for love
Emotion shut in a shelf

FEELINGS THAT WE HIDE





No one cares about you
If you can't confide in you
To find true happiness
The heart should not be amiss
Feelings that we hide
Limits the potential to thrive
Positive perception to life brings about
The quality of who we truly are inside

AN INTERVIEW WITH MY EX



AN INTERVIEW WITH MY EX

Ex: How have you been?
Guy: I don't feel good, life has not been fair.

Ex: What happened, I hope you are not down the weather today?
Guy: I caught the flu since the moment I set my eyes on you. Think I am sick in my heart.

Ex: What you trying to say?
Guy: What I am saying is.. I made a terrible mistake letting you walk away. 

Ex: But whose fault is that? 
Guy: I never said it's your fault, just that I have been living with guilt lately and it's tearing me apart. 

Ex: You should have known better, but why didn't you stop me from leaving?
Guy: I asked myself the same question every day but eluded trying to figure it out. 

Ex: Well, don't you think its a bit late for that?... 
Guy: That's was what I thought at first but felt warmth on my pillow only whenever I think of you. It's like no one touches my heart, not like you used to.

Ex: But it will be hard to forgive and forget what you did to me.
Guy: On my knees saying I am sorry from the depth of my heart, back then I was a juvenile who didn't understand the meaning of love. That was foolish of me, I do hope you forgive me. 

Ex: But I caught you sleeping with my best friend.
Guy: Yes you did, I don't have an alibi, it's a one-time weakness because I was vulnerable inside.

Ex: I am in love with someone else, sorry, I don't think it can work out for both of us anymore.
Guy: I am not saying it will, but can we give it a fresh try, please can we? I want to be your Romeo, this time I am willing to die for you. I will leave the world behind for you. 

Ex: Are you crazy?
Guy: Yeah I am crazy, I will never be sane again if you are not part of my life.

Ex: But you hurt my feelings, why should I even think of putting up with you?
Guy: everyone makes mistake, it helps us to grow, but believe it when I tell you it hurts me even more. I have lost my appetite and zeal. I have lost everything thought I had, Including my sense of humor. 

Ex: I don't believe a dime what you just said, can you prove that to me?
Guy: Will it do if I cut my heart and give it to you, or I could stand in the middle of the road and let you run me over.

Ex: What..You mean you can do that for me?...
Guy: Yeah, I will do anything for you, I will do all it takes to win your heart back.

Ex: How about proposing to me, right here, right now...
Guy: Smile! I am a step ahead of you, here is an engagement ring I bought, safely stashed in the left inner pocket of my jacket. There is also a bottle of champagne on the back seat of my car so we can celebrate.

Ex: Wow, I am short of words, don't know what to say.
Guy: Please, say I do...
