THROUGH THE WINDOW

Through the window, across the town
I see people enjoying night life
Unaware of the residing silence on the other end
Through the window, across the hall
I see hopeful eyes waiting
Unsure of when their loved ones will return
Through the window, across the door
I stare at you with similar hopes

Stronger than hopeful that you will return

THIS MOMENT

In this moment of weakness
I wish I could take your place
And let you take a breath
In this moment of chaos
I wish I could shut you from the world
And let you rest your eyes
In this moment of heartbreak
I wish I could hold your heart
And save it from shattering
In this moment I wish I could change this moment

SHE WAS

She was once a daughter
Who was joy to her parents
She was once a little sister
Who always kept seeking attention
She was once a friend
Who was more than just a friend
She was once a wife
Who was a perfect other half of someone special
She was once a mother
Who loved and gave warm embraces to her children
She was once a grandmother
Who radiated of pure love
She was…yes she was
Because, now all that remains of her is her memory,

Memory of who she was

FUNNY GAME

This game is funny
I don’t know if I am here
And I don’t know if I will be there
I am not certain of this moment
Let alone the moment seconds away from me
I wondered what will happen next
Perhaps I will always wonder
And wondering is a part of this game
This funny game called life

YOU SAVED ME!

I was drowning
Gasping for air even in an open space
I was alone
Trying to be seen and heard even in a crowd
I was dying
Clinging on to life even though I saw no hope
Then I met you
And for the first time
I felt the gush of fresh air in me
Like a new born baby
I felt seen and heard even when alone
As if the silence was humming to me
I felt alive and I knew I was saved

You saved me J

WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?

Sometimes, late at night
I stay awake and wonder
If I am gone, will you notice
That I am not there and I am gone
Will you remember me?

I am the girl who laughed a lot
The one who had a lot of dreams
I wonder what will happen to those dreams
If I shared those dreams with you
Will you remember me?

I want to write my song and sing it
If I sing that song to you everyday
Will you wonder what happened to me
When I stop singing it to you
Will you remember me?

But to be honest, I don’t want that
I want you to remember me
Because you miss me
And not because I keep asking

Will you remember me?
