The Time We Had (song lyrics)

Days are long
Nights are longer
Every day I get stronger, though
I still miss you so
Shine a light
Help me, guide me
Another morning
Without you beside me
Oh, why did you have to go?
No fly by night lover can heal this pain
There's no more sunshine, there's only rain
The time we had is gone
The love we shared is gone
I've been replaced
You've found another
Remember when we said
We'd only love each other, well
That's all gone to hell
I'll give away your things
Put your pictures on a shelf
Wish I could solve all my problems
With someone else
But it just feels so wrong
The love we shared is gone
Gonna drown it all in alcohol
Wash everything away
Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight
And face another day
Why can't I just move on?
The time we had is gone
The love we shared is gone

Keep On Forgetting (poem/song lyrics)

I know I shouldn't think about you
Pretend you don't even exist
Move on with my life
Cross you off my list
It would be so easy
To pass you by in the hall
Minding my own business
Not caring at all
But in a world full of lies
This is the only truth
I keep on forgetting
To forget about you
Won't give you a chance to reject me
You don't even know my name
Somehow I'll silence the yearning
And live through the pain
Somebody help me
Tell me what should I do?
I keep on forgetting
To forget about you
Somebody save me
It's bleeding through
I keep on forgetting
To forget about you

Higher (poetry/song thingy)

"Higher"

Hey, why don't you pick up the phone?
Haven't heard from you in awhile
And I'm tired of being alone
Hey, I know you're hurting inside
But if you just give me a chance
I'll make everything all right
Cos you're like heroin
Coursing through my veins
First comes the ecstasy then the pain
Just take my hand
Maybe then you'll understand
And as your golden hair surrounds me
I'll take you higher than you've ever been before
Don't try to fight it, just embrace it
Tell me, tell me now that you want more
Hey, I understand that you're afraid
Those other girls, they've hurt you
But I'm not the same
I'll do my best to wash it all
Away from your memory
First, I need you next to me
This chance comes once in a lifetime, make the best of it
As for my lifetime, you can have the rest of it
You've nothing left to prove
And nothing left to lose 
And as your golden hair surrounds me
I'll take you higher than you've ever been before
Don't try to fight it, just embrace it
Tell me, tell me now that you want more

Haibun (Japanese Poetry)

Haibun is a form of Japanese poetry that was popularised in the 17th century by poet Matsuo Bosho. it combines a prose poem and a haiku, which communicate with each other either subtly or directly. 3rd person objective  is used in the prose, while the haiku follows the traditional 5-7-5 rule. 

The First Time

She had waited so long for this moment. The timing was perfect. He was perfect. Conversation, which before had been so shy and awkward, came to a standstill. The long night stretched before them as they dove into each other face first.

fear morphs into joy
unexplored terrain conquered
infinite rapture

Love Doll (POETRY)

Your kisses taste so bittersweet
We could be something more
That's what bothers me
When it's over I always disappear
I sleep alone every night
Because you're never here
You say you want me when you call me
But you only want me when you're horny
I'm your sex doll
Take me or leave me
You leave me empty
My heart's broken and bleeding
I'm your sex doll
Discarded and ruined
Can't take anymore
I won't live through it
Last night you promised me someday
When it's all over
You're the one who gets away
I get nothing but lots of wasted time
People think I'm crazy
Cos I want to make you mine
But who wants a sex doll?
Used up like a tissue
Carefully concealed like a mental issue
Who wants a sex doll?
Well, you don't mind
But I'm cold and I'm lonely
When you leave me behind
