Falter

This game we play,

One way or another,

One of us will suffer,

One of us will falter,

Let’s stop this madness,

Even if it feels so good,

But before it ends,

Let’s do it one last time,

Enjoy the moment,

For tomorrow is a different day,

A day without us,

Let’s do it now,

Let’s take it off,

Let’s savor the moment,

Let the time stop,

Feel the skin of reality,

And end this folly tomorrow.

Second Chance

Silence has consumed my sanity,

Deafening my mind, body and soul,

I try to look for you in every corner,

So you could save me from the obscurity,

I walked away yet I am the one in misery,

I walked away but until now I am in pain,

I walked away and I want to come back,

But what’s done has done and we can never return,

I shut my eyes with tears,

Forcing myself to forget,

I need these feelings out of me, out of me…

But it’s hard and I think I am losing it,

I thought it was easy but it wasn't,

I want you back and I want you now,

It’s just sad that it’s too late for us,

It’s too late for our second chance.

A Favorite Old T-Shirt

I have a favorite old T-Shirt,

I've had it for a very long time,

It's been stained a lot of times,

But I really don't mind,

It has a lot of holes on it,

But I still wear it,

It's been worn out,

But I am at ease with it,

I am secured when it's on me,

If feels like home when I'm wearing it.

Today I wore my favorite old T-shirt,

Unluckily it got caught by a nail,

Sorrow has filled my heart when I saw it,

My old T-shirt got ripped apart,

I tried to sew it together,

But the stitches were too obvious,

It doesn't feel comfortable anymore,

I have foreseen this but I tried to ignore it,

I know I have to let go of it,

I took it off and laid it on my bed,

Tears started to fall as I folded it,

I look back and reminisce,

The memories and values it contains,

One last time I embraced it,

I whispered my farewell

and kissed my favorite old T-shirt goodbye.

Not meant to be!

Will shut up from now on.
