The clock on a wall in a dark room,
The sound of its chime filling the silence.
In the centre, under the only light,
He sits in a world his own, consumed.

He stares at the white screen
Twisted love begins to take its toll.
Wondering if she could've seen,
He can't take this silence anymore.

And in his head, his unrequited love burns his soul,
A girl, faraway can't see him whole.
He writes pages and pages of a bleeding story,
One, he knows, is an instinct of self pity.

Stoners charm, means no harm
But can't let go of his mommas arms.
Read those words, feel alarmed,
Holy cow, he lives in his barn.

And with his lonely escapades in his sleep
He dreams of something that cannot be.
Maybe he just needs his love to be seen
But he sure doesn't know what it means.

But what it means, is sinister
All these advances she didn't consider.
Sitting in his lair , one *** offender,
where did that come from, I wonder?

Drunk on love, looks so cheap
His mind on clockwork, working fantasies.
And to his stories, he'll add her name,
And like a predator he'll stalk his prey.

She'll forget him, her mistake,
Rejection of beauty, he can't take.
In the depth of the night, awake
Drunken love, a fools grave.
A love letter, from his blade.
Unstable Mind, he can't wait,
Touches the screen, wipes the slate.
Confession, of what he made,
Colors of a life led to waste.

......And she wrote in a frenzy
Breathless and thirsty.
Words to feed her mind
Stories to feed her soul.
And she kept writing, incessantly,
As if it was akin to breathing.......

He sat alone in a silent house,
The happiness, now a morbid wave of dark energy.
Her laughter, a memory, a fond one too
He cradles like a child in his palms.

A gust of wind finds its way into the den,
He shudders, not sure if it's the wind or the loneliness.
And in his heart, she filled the spaces,
Now a gaping hole, left to reminisce.

Her whispering echoes drifting in and out with the wind
All he wants is to have her back, her voice to be heard once again.
Life seems frightening without her by his side
And the bitterness of her absence leaves a wound in him, unhealed.

And locked away in a chest upstairs in the attic
Along with her books, glasses and gowns,
A box with golden engravings of her name, "Sarah",
A diamond outshines its brilliance, even in the starkness of the dark.

That day in Venice, amidst a busy market swarming with people,
He knelt down in front of her, and asked her to be his woman,
The music of love, playing a tune so remarkable
She couldn't hold back her tears of joy.

And when she smiled, he saw a million galaxies explode with oneness,
A joy inexplicable in terms of mere words or thoughts.
He knew she was the one he'd want to grow old with,
The eyes, he'd want to forever, behold.

Only if happiness lasted longer, and ran a course, eternal
Maybe then, she would have been around to sing their favorite song,
As he played his guitar, under a moonlight
In some faraway land, across the oceans and skies,
*Where the sunset was as beautiful as her eyes.

دema flutter
I am happy,
But why is that those tears wont stop falling?

It's the right thing,
But why is that it doesn't feel like so?

I am strong,
But why is it that I need to be strong?

I should not feel this way,
But why is it that my feelings have become so bipolar ?

It's bravery,
But why is it that I feel it's an act of fear instead?

I am not oblivion no more,
But why is it that i feel there is much behind every path?

I fear failure,
But why is that I feel that it is a fear of success?

I should enjoy the moment,
But why is it that my brain cant comprehend to happiness no more?

Her eyes looked into his
And she knew for sure
Where she wanted to be.
And in those eyes, they ran,
Free, in the sunflower fields
Sunlight streaming through,
A blue sky over a golden valley.
And this vision entailed
An unparalleled dream
He saw her as such
For  the demons in her
And for the woman she is,
Her song for him to sing.
Her heart longing,
Her soul, searching.
Her arms longing
To reach out
And make him,
Her own
*Forever...

Her eyes skirted off in to the distance
She was all too accustomed to this silence.
Her shadow followed her, maybe the only one
She picked at the ends of her dress and looked at the setting sun
Her eyes were anxious and her lips quivering
Her face pale, as she sat by the river, singing her song,
For no one to hear and no one to care.
Her voice echoed back, and for the first time,
She knew she was alone.

Her eyes were now fixed on the dancing flames, sending smoke upwards.
With every ounce of strength, her heart fought hard to break free.
In her head, it was chaos,
A chaos only her mind could comprehend.
She'd sit down to write and stare at the blank page
Always wanting her life to be made in to a book
But inside, she was a mess, always questioning,
How incomplete everything felt,
How she couldn't fill in the empty spaces.

And like the wisp of smoke spiraling up to the blue sky
*All hope she had, said a last goodbye...
