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.

Good Night

Death comes to us all O yes it does Swift as a bolt of lightning Silent as a tiger stalking its prey Will I lay in eternal slumber Or will I rise again someday Oh please don’t let tears roll down your cheeks darling  How I wish I could be there right now to stop you from crying And as much as I would like to stay Even for a second more My time has come and so I’ve got to go But remember what they used to say? A person will live on in the memory of others Where time is perpetual and there’s no sorrow My journey might have been short but it sure was meaningful And I hope you feel the same way too Even though I might be gone And life still has to go on All I ask is that I won’t be forgotten Told myself I’ll forever be grateful no matter what happens For at least we’ve got each other And unlike life the love we share will never expire As the sun sets and stars take over the sky Perhaps it’s ...

Someday

I used to have a love-hate relationship with festive seasons, more so when it comes to Christmas, and New Year too since it is celebrated only a few days after the former and both are closely associated. At 12 a.m. sharp I would compose my own text messages, hoping that recipients who consist of those that I care about the most would feel the sincerity, albeit in its electronic form. Yet lately I seem to have lost that enthusiasm, that fire which kindles my heart to share the spirit of whatever festivity, and I say so solemnly. I sometimes find myself lamenting the fact that what used to mean a lot to one would eventually lost its meaning somehow, though in some remote cases there are exceptions. Mostly what's left are broken memories, remnants of our former selves which we are unable to let go, and believe me they will forever be there, haunting us wherever we go. My mouth remains shut, though my eyes see, and it's excruciatingly difficult to play dumb; there will always be wo...

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...
