Just like the wind
The laughter we had is vanished
Into the air

Just like ashes
The pages of our story turned into dust
Scattered all over the place

And just like the mist
The memories we created
Gone forever killed by the sunrise

-Jess

I nurtured your words
With love and care
I pampered your lines
With the beat of my heart
Until it forms a beautiful rhythm
A song about you and me

But somehow the melody hurts me
And the lyrics is killing me slow
When I realized I'm just a fool
Praising the art of lie
Deceived by the sweetest chant

-Jess

Waking up
With cloudy sky
Above my head
I look in the mirror
And I hate
The reflection inside
Innocence
Has been torn apart
By my own hand
Purity
Has been stained
With evil touch

Darkness
That's what I see
Numb
It's how I feel
Empty
With no purpose
I dig and dig
Looking for the answer
Questioning
Where's the inner child
Who am I exactly?
But then I realize
I'm just an empty vessel
Wandering around
For my soul
Has been long gone
I'm trapped
In the hourglass
And soon to...

I bow down to your torture
In the name of love and pleasure
I succumb to your obsession
Willingly become your posession

Blindly following my lust
Confused by the meaning of trust
Swallowing my own stupidity
When I choose to be with insecurity

You marked me with nasty bruises
Terrorized my mind with promises
You turned me into an empty vessel
And now I'm just a ruined temple

Clinging to life with a little hope
I'm still learning how to cope
My inner beast has been tamed
I'm a new person with the same name
