Faces

The only thing that keeps me sitting on the train
Is my Sanity
It is the one that keeps me hanging
Otherwise, I’ll ask John Mayer to stop this train
And jam with him on the streets

Random signs, green tee and black polo
Looking at them knowing the moments were true
Hoping the world would turn me upside down
And make me forget some parts of my brain

I read them for some kind of wines
Thought they will be nice and expensive
Guess I wasted my life playing dumb
Knowing that my heart is unemployed
And what’s left is only bittersweet

What did I do to deserve this now?
How much longer ‘till I tear the eyeballs out of my head?
And living with ghosts, in a veil of disguise?
Living in my blind faith, guided by blurry lights
Do I care if God wants me to survive?

Dear Lord, you know I'm painting my dreams
I'm holding my breath and hoping you to lead me
Out of this rainstorms and kiss me goodnight
Some nights, I tear myself apart- yet heals in the morning
I left dead, many times- but You raised me up

What’s the point of wandering
When you’re still getting lost?
What’s the point of singing lullabies
If they’ll never even care? 

When will I memorize their faces
Without releasing the devil inside?
What can be said of my heart
That is full of darkness?

I shout to the nights
Hoping they feel the way I feel
And drown them into the sea of my soul
And if the regrets ever gone away
Please take me back to the start

  1. What a pretty good stuff you have there. Love it. You've express the emotions into those words quite gentle yet firm. Well, we're humans afterall, we have tons of emotions, but not all humans can express their emotions into beautiful pieces. I'm waiting for your next poems/proses.
