Echoes from the outside
The shades of evening soul
Step by step dance toward the open windows
Bring out the sounds when the wind blows
Upon my face and around my skin
A melody touches to any hearts,
Hush, again and again till it echoes inside
Erase the elegy of pain and sorrow
Bring the wings to follow the flying sparrow
Come inside and spread the feels
Flaunt me to the air in vibrating melody
Me, diving in tunes of melancholy
Voicing a happy song internally
Stay in spirit for life, love lively
And come an estranged voice
Jump over the notes chasing after me
Fluently you flute the words, pour a new melody
Speaking of music lyrically, blend naturally
Our thoughts write the notes of harmony melody
As thou, a violinist playing my heartstrings
Me, conduct the movement of the story
Dimension of a newly born composition
Deliver a piece, a magical beautiful symphony
We watched the sky painted blue
Cover all the spaces, the air amused
Released by the flying musical notes
Of the freed feeling from my heartstrings,
As we played, and to keep on play over again
Until the sky saturate with intense blue
Halfway of a happy song
Semi before us to complete
Different melody could change the song destiny
As when the tunes can't walk along the symphony
Not anymore to vibrate a way for euphony journey
The united voices crushing against the written lines
Inverse sound, reverse feel, at the end scoring noisy
How can we finish this for another half sheet
Like we end the blissful musical meet
Another half of broken song? for heart bleed?
Your hand still on my heartstrings to play
But when we losing tones, our mind not parallel
For us to retry the song we used to play together
Strong picking chords on me wont be better
Because you pitch high, pick my string loud
Ignore the lyric, don't care the right melody,
As we just want to win but cost the heart lose few strings
Replacing blue, we watched the crimson flow out
From this broken string we may see they fly high,
Shadow the bottom clouds, under the sky it stayed below
To be our violet symphony, shades the sunset backyard
The fusion of our blue and crimson melody
Silence with no more any symphony
Without the string how can a song we could play
Will the broken get fixed when we abandon the pain
And abandoning the lost melody will be a miss to ears
While, forgetting the sweet moments, big lost to hearts
Heart will stir the thought to heal lost without a miss
No solution without calm, always calm peace the mind
And only peaceful mind will understand the sign
We need a sign, may it will lead us a way
To meet and sing together after thousands days
Because days and time keep going, so life is moving on
Someday, we will meet a moment for us to learn deeply
Same to the hearts when we finally fix the strings
And the same melody shall be played again
This innocent song must be returned
Through the same opened window
Rejoining with other flying sparrow
To shade this late evening soul
Echoes from this inside
together we loose the past hurt
Heal the broken heart
To ride in the wind blow
Echoes outside

I know what happened,
I know that your parents are divorced,
because I was the first
you told.
I want to help you,
but I don't know
what all that
pressure
and sorrow feels like.
Like you're drowning
in a pool of tears
and your friends
are just watching and
laughing,
like it's a joke.
But it's not a joke,
it's your life.
They aren't even
your friends,
they are just people
who say they earned
that title.
I don't understand.
My parents aren't
divorced,
they don't fight
every time when
they see each
others face.
I can't help.
But you're
my friend.
My best
friend.
And I will
try to help.
I will stand by
your side even when
we are miles away.
Because even though
it might not feel like it,
you are never
alone.

Why, do things have to be so hard
In life?
Why can't things be easy
And everyone could just enjoy
Their short lives.
Betrayed
By an old friend
By an old boyfriend
It feels like the whole world
Has gone on the enemy's side
Why do things have to be so complicated?
Tears are rolling down my cheek
As life goes on,
That's what I do.
Because I feel unused, unhelpful, abandoned.
Life goes on
And even though I try
To shrug off the troubles I have had in the past,
Smiling,
Inside, I am extremely hurt
Stabbed by my own friends
I am deserted
Even though I smile
I am hurt
I am betrayed.

I just started going on the path where my life had no light. I missed everyone from our school who graduated, and I really had many amazing friends there. Friends who gave me memories that lasted forever...friends who helped me out when things got bad...friends who were always there for me. I know, however, that they will always continue to be in my heart, even as they went away from me. If they never come back, they will still have left hand prints on my heart that will never be washed away. Life without the light makes me feel so lonely...like a vagabond on the streets with no home...like an eagle with no prey...like me with no one to cry with. However sad this situation I find myself in...I still know that life will go on...and I must continue to strive to be the best I can be. Even without the warmth of my friends close by, I know that they will always be by my side even if they are not with me. All my friends are the light in my life.
