Betrayal

I watch as you bring me down,
Stare silently as I watch my fall.
My hope has already withered,
I once used to trust you.

Everything was so perfect,
I don't know why it had to change.
I don't know why you did it,
I can't help but ask why.

My faith in you is gone,
I will never trust you again.
My god, why did I ever trust you,
I think I might hate you.

Day Seven: Excuses

Is distance your only excuse?
Years have passed,
You still haven't visited,
And now I don't even remember your face.


Time and Time again,
You claim to miss us.
"I'm too busy"
"The flight ticket is too expensive"
"I don't have a vacation now..."

Seem to be your only reasonings.


Your voice, in my memory,
Is now only heard through the static of a phone call.
I don't remember what your personality is like,
Or why you made me laugh at all.

Who are you?
Do I even know you anymore?

Your excuses are all I remember now.

Sun and Moon

Cross my heart and hope to die,
My battles seem to shut you down.
I never meant to leave you hurting,
Yet all our tears seem so redundant.

Our priorities were never the same,
It took me breaking to even notice.
I watch for success, you wait for love,
And neither of us will compromise.

You are the sun, I am the moon,
We cannot live without each other.
I chase for you, You chase for me,
Yet our different lives means we never see.

You and Me

I have always missed you,
But even if Fate deemed it so,
I would never go back to you.

I long for the ease
That being with you,
Has always given me.

Yet I would cut off my arm,
Before I reached out to you,
To help soothe me.

It didn't have to end this way,
Yet it's the only way this could have ended,
You and me, as parallel lines,
Parallel lives.
