Episode

Another episode I have yet to endure
Another affair I have could not procure
With you gone, myself in gloom
With you gone, secrets entombed

I told myself, that this would happen
I told myself, that this would hurt
I knew you would never have cared
I knew your love was ever so rare

Drenched in the rain, I feel the cold wind
Drenched in the tears, I feel the cold within
Forever remained, this shivering sensation
Forever remained, this bitter emotion

I shall get by, like I always do
I shall get by, just like you too
Except you remain oblivious, like you always do
Except I remain penitent, like I always do

It's been some years, I have let myself down
It's been many years, I have let my heart drown
Only to emerge, to yet another defeat
Only to emerge, to once again retreat

Two Lives

As I walked along the high glass wall,

I see a black bird lying on the floor.

I went up to it and picked it up,

It was stiff and silence, its time was up.

I said a little prayer, I wish it rest in peace,

Thinking where and how, to properly bury it.

Yet another was in my path,

This one was alive but stunned and dazed.

I quickly tried to catch it, to move it to a safe place.

It slipped my graphs and flew, right into the glass wall.

I cringed ever so nervously, as it fell back to the floor.

Thanking god it’s still alive, as I grabbed it as fast as I could.

I put it on a tree branch, as it flew safely back to the sky.

I saved a little bird’s life, but was too late to save the other.

I dug a shallow grave, beneath that same old tree.

With some dirt on my hands, I wish I could have done more.

Two lives I touched today, so little they are to me.

Yet long I thought about it, how much they meant to me.

Di

Di pantai ombak berderu
Di taman burung bersiul
Di sisi mu ku selesa
Di hati mu ku gembira

Pay Phone

I want to hear that you're sad
I want to hear that you're not fine
I want you to feel what I'm feeling
Like how I had always wanted you to

怯

至今的哀莫
明周复明周
见面的机缘有何其多

尝暗静无扰
然沉静无声
累积自己的死心之性

为自尊而忍
据自傲而禁
却遗了妳的真心之愿

我深心愿望
想明妳之心
于翻开你真心的层铠

为妳我感情
供我妳可情
以爱相助则彼此瞭解

Not Single

Stress is a good and bad thing
I maintain healthy stress levels
Not by avoiding them but instead
Giving them clarity and a
Little thought on how to
Eventually share them with peers

She Is Taken

Soar to the stars with head held high

Heaven above is not just for the needy

Embrace and share what fate has brought

Invitations from many, to seek your attention

Seeing from afar, but watching ever so closely

Time will come, when you will be ready

Awakened and assured, of what lies ahead

Key is in your hands, the lock is awaiting

Epilogue is nearing, this chapter is closing

Nigh is the time, of a wondering soul searching

Rejection

Confidence sneaks
Pride overcomes
Publicity matters
Secret unattended

The question was asked
The answer was acquainted
Suspends were not included
A straight no was assured

Thoughts

Alone in thoughts, I have not been
Engulfed in chats, things aren't as it seems
Figured out feelings, I lack the peace
Seeking confirmation, doubts not relieved
