ALL BY MYSELF

There was a moment

I thought I have found love

But then heaven cracked

My dreams fell apart

I have been nursing the pain

But the wound would not heal

Emotion torn inside out

Dying right in front of my eyes

Resentful to a regretful memory

It brings every time I cry

Life hurts me deep inside

Shredding every bit of hope to survive

I have been carrying a broken shell

No one my story to tell

Shedding lonely bitter tears

All by myself

ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOU

Every day I get down on my knees to pray

I asked God to watch over you each day

You are the reason I wake up in the morning with a smile

I see you in my dreams whenever I look at the sky

You may not know how much it means to care

The fondness of your heart sprinkles everywhere

In my own little way I cannot pay back

Every sacrifice to our friendship you have made

You are like a tree planted by the river

Your countenance blossom seasons over

Without you I am nobody on my own

All I thought have achieved would have long gone

While you are reading this words

Know that I am lucky we crossed paths

We might not be the best of friends

But you are someone I can turn to always

Never stopped from being the best of you

Because of you someone’s life is beautiful

If this wasn’t as good as true

It would be a waste of time telling you

GOODBYE MY LOVE

It was a sad lonely day indeed
Getting over a raging storm is difficult
I used to see couples happy together
But for me it's always about a temper

I live in a world deprived of love
Bruises on my face to vouch
Everyday he picks up a fight
Left me sobbing in tears on the couch at night

At first he seem to be an angel
But heaven broke loose and everything apart fell
I could not salvage the man I once love
But saw my heart dragging to an early grave

I don't understand why some one can be so cruel
To a woman who sacrifices all to make her home beautiful
Better to walk away with my head in one piece
Than live a tormented life in abject pain and disgrace
