Lonely Girl

A lonely girl wanders the world
Searching for her poor lost soul
Waiting for lightning to strike her heart
Waiting for thunder to tear her apart

She’s never felt a butterfly’s flutter
Simple words always made her stutter
A tortured heart with the soul of a child
A nervous laugh and a beautiful smile

The neighborhood boys with jokes all the same
Pulling her hair and calling her names
Taking more than she ever could bare
Feeling the rip long after the tear

Millions of people suffer day after day
Hatred and destruction is what they say
Women are from Venus, men from Mars
and she’s just a local girl with local scars

 

Painful Encouter

In a crowded pub on a Friday night

Their eyes suddenly met

And all the memories came back

“Is that really her?” he asked himself

Or it is his mind playing tricks on him

Don’t she know he was always searching for her

In the crowds, movies and books?

Is it too late to ask her for a dance?

Where he can lays in her arms and dream forever

Yes, it is too late

He is just a torn page in her book now

That night he went home with tears in his eyes

He didn’t know the meaning of loneliness

Until she walked away from his life

Quote of the week

One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me.”
–Louis Pasteur

You’re Breaking My Heart

You’re breaking my heart when I see

Your beautiful smile bents out of shape

You don’t look at me when I ask you “how are you”

But I don’t need your fake smile to know

There is a war waging inside you

And the world has collapsed on you

I can’t make you laugh anymore

All I want to do is making you feel loved

Just grab my hand and let me pull you

From that cliff that you have been standing on for so long

Don’t you know that I will run through fire for you?

Together, we will fight your demons

Just open up to me, don’t be afraid

It doesn’t matter how many time you will trip and fall

I will be there for you to pick you up

And to wipe every tear

You are not alone, I will always be there for you

Just let me be the key to your lock

I wish you could see yourself through my eyes

(This poem is dedicated to someone dear to me who’s suffering from depression)
