A Bittersweet Rise Of Naiveté

a troubled child wanders the streets
orphaned at birth, she knows nothing different
passers-by ignore her lonely tears
her gaze has never met the eyes of this world
while her identity remains,
she is not recognized
it’s hard not to wonder
how her voice goes unheard
for how long will her aimlessness intensify?
with a bittersweet rise of naiveté,
her existence drifts away
her name is faith
will you lend her a shoulder?

Lonely Funeral

An unforgiving memory conspicuously brought back to existence
The beginning of the end has only begun
You can douse the corpse in cough syrup, but your timing’s a little off
You seem to have murdered your own heart
I hope it had a lonely funeral

I regret to inform you but the eulogy’s been said
Did you ever plan to notice that your clock had fallen behind?
The possible remedy missed its chance
Time waits for nothing, gone in a glance
It appears you have murdered your own heart
I’m sure it had a lonely funeral

Losing Memories Of Friends I Never Had

-i’m losing patience-
-My tears are vengeful-
-Remind me again why i shouldn’t remember-
-everything that took place-
-Should i have looked the other way-
-when you thought no one was watching? -

-i wish i’d never known of all those times-
-you did me wrong-
-A faithful heart is what-
-i asked for all along-

-My memory’s waning-
-just like our relationship has-
-Remind me again-
-what you thought friendship was-

-Don’t mention it-
-and i’ll pretend you never happened-
-These long-lasting scars run perpendicular to my lips-

Be Patient, Trust Me, Do As I Say

You won’t believe the things for you I have in store
As time goes by, I’ll give you more and more
Be patient, trust me, do as I say
And I’ll continue guiding you day by day

You’ll never guess the plans I have for you
Continue always asking me what I want you to do
Be patient, trust me, do as I say
And I’ll continue guiding you day by day

You can’t even imagine the places you will go
When tomorrow comes, I’ll let you know
For today, be patient, trust me, do as I say
And I’ll continue guiding you day by day

I’ve finally understood your sole request today
That’s all I have to do, just listen and obey
Be patient, trust you, and do as you say…
