~Valuable~



Wear your flaws
as a badge of
Honnor,
every rose
has it’s thorn
everyday
has it’s dawn
Each tear
And tear
Matters
Falls and
Turns to steam


The ghost
In the mirror
all I see
is a suggestion
of what
should be


I won’t fall
with the
Memories
I made dreaming
of what’s in my head
shadows on the wall
can’t laugh
with me


As if
there’s never
been any
Discord
But it is
a burden
as much
as it a blessing


Past is
the past
Molten heart
I bet that hurt


we had our moment
But we both
had to go
on our
different paths


catch you
in my sleep
I’m leaving this
Heartbreak


everyone seems
to see the world
in their own filter
Everything’s fine
thank you for caring
To unlock the secrets
of each other


even if
the work isn’t pretty
push trough
because we
have to
follow through
on the thing’s
that stops us
in our tracks
marks our lives
Shit goes
sideways
I think firelight
makes us
feel safe
Two trains
Dangerously close
To colliding


you don’t know
who people
are until you
really see them,


I wish
I had more
sense of you,
keeping sadness
at bay
Laughing


The rain looks
even better
when you’re
in it, kid,


good morning,
The sun shines
when you smile bright
With the light
Reflected in your eyes


Haven’t we all
Been down
The same
Hallway


Just love me
Don’t try
To understand
To fix me


In a world
Where everyone wears
A mask
It’s a privilege
To see
A soul


Inner illumination
Viewed through the lens
Of a greater
Morality


Piece by piece
Keep us safe
I wanna reach
for the stars
like there’s no
tomorrow


stay with me,
same across
the sound,
Second skin
esta noche,
Tonight
this moment
wakes my senses
You say
You don’t care
Well, I suggest
You start to
I’m not a magician


I feel my heart
beneath my skin,
Clever trick


everything we
need for dreaming,
we are diamonds
taking shape,


One misstep
one slip
before you know it,
got lost in those
you thought
were friends


a lot goes past
until you’re reminded
to feel again
I have fallen
don’t look back
when you hypnotize
With those
Longing eyes

In the lonely
light of morning
the wound could not heal
think of me
when you’re coming
down when I’m
not there,
miss me


When it comes to relationships,
easier isn’t always an option
I know you’ll find a way
keeping a balance is a challenge
The suspension
of disbelief it works
for a lot of things
don’t bet whaat
you’re not
willing to lose
Caught
In the
he undertow


everyone wonders
if they took
the right fork
in the road
this is our fork
we took the right way
I jumped in
a full heart
somehow
it worked out
Sometimes
we have to lose
something to
understand how
valuable it is


Lost
In this chaotic lie
a hurricane
in all kinds
of weather,


open up your eyes
see how this
lifetime flies by
open up
let the lovin start


It’s about
damn time
you let me in
You aren’t the
type to stand by
and watch
In the
smoky light
I think about that

illusion that floats there

~Direction~

Escape from the black cloud
that surrounds you.
Then you will see your own light
as radiant as the full moon. ''Rumi''
until
that full moon,
now
taking charge
no cares given
The way
we carry
Helpless
memories


I’ve always
done everything
the right way
You better
know it,
resiliency
Such a
Pretty sound


Bell echos
Traces of
Lavender
Cutting it
Fine


Resolve
like no other,
It will be a cold
day in hell
before I let you
see me
struggling
It’s like trying
to spin
the world
the other way
There’s a loss
what there was
and a loss
of what
there wasn’t

I’m just
kidding you,
a little bit
of levity
to ease
the pain
The search
it’s so maddening.
It needs one
of those decoders
you find
at the bottom
of cereal boxes


The uncertainty
of those kinds
of questions
are terrifying
Sometimes it
takes dying to
Realize
you want to live
You have
to let go
of everything,
find the flow
the rhythm.
It’s like music,
another day,
another dollar
You have
to feel pain
before you
can let it go

Maybe i should
drop you
at the door
leave
vanish at
the shore
anywhere
but here
you know
Follow
the lights
over the bridge
to the river
In this round
you make
your own destiny
sashay by
Speak your name
like a prophecy
while the moon holds me tight
I’m not weird,
I’m limited edition

not fragile
like a flower,
fragile like a bomb
the tables
have turned,
I don't need
to know what
fire is to know
it burns


as much as I try
to clarify,
I'm stuck between
being awake
tired at the same time  
my heart
cozy red
memory
of our
sacred so and so, i
t’s sadly sweet
Waking up high
feeling suspended
I can hear it now
like i heard it then,
I don’t blame
you
we got
carried away,
I can’t hold
onto an
empty space
My end
It justifies
my means
My every
Attempt
to evade
The end


Smile
Shatter
my
Illusions
Enough
of tea
and sympathy
Fire and ice
beneath my skin
Keep your dirty
laundry
you left me
shimmering

Sandman
Eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
We have the vision now
let’s have
some fun


we’re fated
to pretend
You’re my
satellite
riding with me tonight

Absence
is to love
what wind is
to fire,
it extinguishes
the small
inflames the great

Who wishes
the fight must
first count
the cost
You always
told me
This Hong Kong
saying
Sometimes
the waves
of change
Happen
Change
Our story
Charge the
direction


Whoever heard
of a mean flower?
It's good to leave
each day behind
like flowing water,
free of sadness.

Today new seeds
are growing. '
Present opportunities
should never be neglected,
they rarely

visit us twice
