Time, Again
just a while ago the world was a blur
a relentless race
as i tried to catch up to its speed
now the time came to a halt
the clock barely ticks and the days stretch out
as i get trapped between
pulling away from its strains to flee
and clinging desperately to sink in
all of a lather to step out
and when i hardly slip away
the world's a blur once again
while i finally gasp for air
only to scramble after
time, again
a relentless race
as i tried to catch up to its speed
now the time came to a halt
the clock barely ticks and the days stretch out
as i get trapped between
pulling away from its strains to flee
and clinging desperately to sink in
all of a lather to step out
and when i hardly slip away
the world's a blur once again
while i finally gasp for air
only to scramble after
time, again

Time
it seems the world doesn't know
how to wait for me
it keeps surging forward
leaving me breathless
no matter how many times
i try desperately to outrun it
maybe if i stared the seconds away
time will get more gentle
and i'll finally catch up
to whatever i'm chasing for
how to wait for me
it keeps surging forward
leaving me breathless
no matter how many times
i try desperately to outrun it
maybe if i stared the seconds away
time will get more gentle
and i'll finally catch up
to whatever i'm chasing for

A Glimpse
Your name flashes on the screen,
My eyes crinkle at the corners,
As I take the phone in hands,
A joyful bubble encircles within.
In a blink of an eye,
All that now is replaced,
By a memory of what once was.
Its hollow comfort, my only friend,
Like a presence that lurks.
It’s much like an echo, a deja vu,
Yet this time, it seems like it might be different,
For you’ve shut the doors and I’m left to wait.
Reaching out, only to stare,
In the silence left by you.
You are not here, not...
My eyes crinkle at the corners,
As I take the phone in hands,
A joyful bubble encircles within.
In a blink of an eye,
All that now is replaced,
By a memory of what once was.
Its hollow comfort, my only friend,
Like a presence that lurks.
It’s much like an echo, a deja vu,
Yet this time, it seems like it might be different,
For you’ve shut the doors and I’m left to wait.
Reaching out, only to stare,
In the silence left by you.
You are not here, not...

Frozen in Motion
Leaden gray sky weeps
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through

Tainted
The stains of sorrow cling and rub
No matter how much she claws and scrubs
Nothing seems to purge those inner scars
Imprinted deep where pureness once was
She closes her lids, for a brief veil
To respite the consuming pain
Yet, shadows paint the vivid scenes
The echoes whisper, haunting the stillness
The memory’s hand weight too heavy
On this deserted land, still pressing freshly
Will solace ever be found in this cleansing foam
Or to a never home, she must wander?
No matter how much she claws and scrubs
Nothing seems to purge those inner scars
Imprinted deep where pureness once was
She closes her lids, for a brief veil
To respite the consuming pain
Yet, shadows paint the vivid scenes
The echoes whisper, haunting the stillness
The memory’s hand weight too heavy
On this deserted land, still pressing freshly
Will solace ever be found in this cleansing foam
Or to a never home, she must wander?

Paradox of Longing
A hollow shell
The chill breeze whispers through
But barely a quiver on skin it caresses
Deep within, an emptiness extends
Where feeling itself seems dead
Yearning for warmth
A comforting glow
Yet at its touch, a hidden seed of anguish
A tangled dance
This push and pull
To crave and reject
The chill breeze whispers through
But barely a quiver on skin it caresses
Deep within, an emptiness extends
Where feeling itself seems dead
Yearning for warmth
A comforting glow
Yet at its touch, a hidden seed of anguish
A tangled dance
This push and pull
To crave and reject

Unspoken
a friend, you call me
yet, i, like an unseen shadow, linger
words trapped inside
leaving silent watches
the "why" echoes unanswered
a whispered voice
you failed, your worries left untold
so i stay here
trapped in my own guilt
a yearning shadow
yet, i, like an unseen shadow, linger
words trapped inside
leaving silent watches
the "why" echoes unanswered
a whispered voice
you failed, your worries left untold
so i stay here
trapped in my own guilt
a yearning shadow
