Since yesterday is gone
And tomorrow starts in a minute
Can you stay here when it rises
To make sure I’m in it.
‘Coz tomorrow is today’s yesterday
You can take me away
In a place where snowflakes dance
When they hear you say;
Tomorrow brings change,
I’ll see you when the mornin...
Free. That’s what I was.
Fragrances. They were so beautiful.
Husky. Inviting. Promises. They whispered to me.
When I first woke up, I saw the sun. I grew afraid of its strength. I found its power mesmerizing. I crawled on to something green. Luscious. My mouth stared to water.
Why? What are yo...
‘And I just wanted you to know
I don’t wanna look back
Cause I know that we have
Something the past could never change.
And I’m stuck in the moment
And my heart is open
Tell me that you feel the same’
Hearing her never-changing voice trickle through the stereo into my ears, I wonder i...
Drifting by without a care in the world,
Heads up full bloom,
The flowers on the lake mesmerize me;
For they know no the joy.
How something so small
Brings exhilaration to the world at large:
Give me a moment let me forget
About all the worries that I will always regret
For the pain of loss...
Carnival time. The air had a salty feel to it from all the popcorn being popped, the silence which never existed was pierced by shrill screams as the young riders of the merry-go-round chose their favourite animal. Colours, like the rich yellow of the sunflower’s fallen head and the brilliant gree...
TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the s...
There are too many books I haven't read, too many places I haven't seen, too many memories I haven't kept long enough.
There is so much left to experience and so much to feel. Books come close to what I truly feel; come close feeling to living life to the fullest. But if I had to eve...
I put on some lip gloss, brushed my hair again. It circled my face in ringlets I had formed using a curler. I had put on a dash of makeup and my favourite dress. I wanted everything to be perfect. Even though he had been admitted in the hospital for only a week it felt like a lifetime. Now I finally...
I want it,
Just once more
I can’t let it go
It’s burning me inside
I fear the unknown.
All I want is to
Engulf myself in it,
I don’t care what I’ll lose;
All I care is what I’ll gain.
An all-time high
I touch it, open it
Delve into it, get lost into it
Why should I restrai...
You walk past me
As if I don’t exist
You try so hard to foresee;
My every movement
To ignore me.
You laugh a little too loud
When I’m around
Trying to show everyone
You don’t need me to be happy;
You think it is much easier
To ignore me.
Why are you so afraid of what people t...
I wake up every morning
To see this broken face
To be reminded of my fragmented place:
In what I do and in where I live;
Everyone takes me at face value.
Burnt by acid,
But hurt by love
It may just be a scar
But it tears you down.
I’d love to see somebody smile
At me because they ...
A life yet to be lived
A dream yet to be dreamt
A joy yet to be shared
A pain yet to be felt.
How can you take away something that doesn’t exist?
I can’t be asked to give up my only hope,
My only wish, my only longing.
You can’t take it away from me;
As I’m the vessel of its growt...
‘I’ll see you tomorrow
I miss you already
Give me one hug
To keep me warm this winter’s night’
Lie for me once more
Give me promises you can’t keep
And then all I do is foster hopes that aren’t real
Is this your idea of a fantasy?
A fairytale, an old night’s tale yarn?
Vicious...
It’s all just for me,
My secret, my mystery,
My encryption, my eternity.
It lifts me up when I’ m down;
Something in which I’d love to drown.
Energy surges through my veins,
I’m floating over the clouds;
Yet I’m rooted to the ground.
I can see nothing:
Nothing other than your tain...
