Atonement


An awfully familiar scent 
picked up from a total stranger;
a bewildered me,
the invisible you.
It's nothing but old memories,
that are perpetually new.

Scars in time may fade away,
the ghost of you is here to stay.
Away from my dreams please go away,
you've painted my whole life gray.
We aren't so perfect to our dismay,
“说的做的再多也是无谓,
不愿放手只会让彼此更累。”
yet nothing I say could make you sway.

Your trust in me I foolishly betray,
无法原谅自己的愚昧,
learnt my lesson through the hard way,
当初不该将你的爱浪费,
guess sorrow's the price I have to pay.

Nights without you 真的好黑好黑,
when I'm crying alone 多想有个人陪,
even today 还是忘不了你的美。
Never will I put one's heart to play,
ever till my dying day.

Days and nights have since then passed,
you and I we broke apart,
如今你不再是囚鸟自由的飞,
我却依旧在为过往而忏悔。

On my death bed I feebly lay,
still regretful for the hurtful words I say.
truly wish that I could 回到过去擦干你的泪。
Atoning for my sins if I still may,
Lord forgive me this dragon I'll slay,
within me that's ruined everything that used to be okay.

I close my weary eyes after I pray,
finding peace eventually as life slips away.

Life is like a dream

Life is like a dream, isn’t it? Everything comes and goes before you knew it. Most of the times, we can’t really recall what we dreamt of the previous minute when we were fast asleep and yet, we had already woke up from it. Be that as it may, there were still dreams where you’ll never forget, not while you can still breathe. Some of them consist of nightmares while the rest, or rather most of them, were sweet dreams. Nobody can stay awake for their whole life; one must take a rest and sleep. However, it is also impossible for one to fell asleep all the time either. I know it sounds contradicted but that is the fact. Dreams can’t be programmed, unlike the computer. Therefore, it is similar to life: it is at some point yours’, but not exactly yours actually. @.@” When I am having a nightmare, I would say to myself:” Oh, what a dream!? I wonder how long this will last”. It is interesting because the answer that it expected ( which is:” Not for very long, I should think”) always appears wh

Looking at  the moon tonight, so big and full  and lovely and bright, casting down  a romantic light, I suddenly wonder  how it's like, to be walking on the moon  if I just might. As for you my love  who's on the other side, how I wish  you're right beside, so I can hold you  oh so tight, and get with you  on a long long flight, to a place  where our hearts reside, together forever  side by side. We're born  we've met  we'll wed  and eventually die, but though there'll be  an end to life, my love for you  will never subside, today tomorrow will always be like, the first day we met on the 8th of July.

Patience makes patient

You'd think that it's easy being me. Well, can't really blame you for that because it does appear to be so most of the times. Throughout these years I've been learning how to control my emotions and it does seem in this case that I've done a pretty good job haven't I? It's been quite a while since I last posted anything to my blog but today I'm not here for the sake of updating. "Many a time words that we don't mean get said; those that we do, they kept buried deep inside" (Myself, 2012). Have you ever wondered why our mouths can talk for so long and so eloquently yet only so little of which came out are meaningful? I can say for one that most often than not we talk faster than we actually think, that's why. If there's one thing that I know for sure about life it'd be that you can never judge a book by its cover, just as pictures of most people found on Facebook can never be trusted. Let me give you another example: The tear
