His Funeral Is Mine

He is just a young man,
With little knowledge of his own future.

Little did he know,
His funeral was coming in days time.

Years have passed him by,
And little did I know,
I fell in love with him,
He fell in love with me.

Little did we both know,
Too little.

I figured out from his unhappiness,
His marriage was the day of his funeral.

I know the right thing to do is to stay away from him,
But he's too charming,
He has me locked in his magic spell,

Sweet Home

Come and bring me home, Angel;

How can life change so fast?
Why wasn't I prepared for all of this,
Can't you see it's killing me?
Can't you just make it easier,
My soul is dying slowly.

I'm missing you,

Christmas 2007

Christmas, full of joy, happiness, and love;
Surrounded by families, friends, and loved ones;
Yet, this christmas is far too lonely.

Never have I spent a christmas with heartache,
Sorrow, and tears before.
I've tried to prevent that from happening,
But i've failed.
Once again, i've let my emotions take over,
Couldn't bear the fact i'm lonely, and careless;

These friends i've got do no good,
Old lovers' memories play in my head,
What more could I have possibly done to keep the love going on?
When the other side didn't want to carry on what we had,
But i'm careless, insulting, and bruising now,
There's no such meaning to love as how it used to be long time ago,
Which makes christmas hopeless,
But for others, its joyful and bright.
