Last Lullaby

Now, I can still fathom the echoes of my stepsAs I was approaching silence in all its depthsCertain with the rivulets prickling in my eyes

But you know what? I set them free with the word cry

Indeed, I saw you that day not so long agoPerforming confidently and owning the show

Talking bout all the questions weve got to faceAnd youve left your answer without a single trace

I remembered how fate made our lives cross once moreSeeing you afar, after stepping at the doorIf only its true, first impression is lasting

Right now, Id take them all back to the beginning

twas walking up on stage and showing we ve gotJust like our own way of saying forget me notFancily dressed, fearlessly facing the spotlight

Heads up and smiling while conquering our stage fright

I could still envision the day we faced such crowdWith all their cheers and screams, my heart was still far loud

The grounds were shaking while waiting for that questionFor there, everyone rely their full redemption

There backstage, they stole a picture from both of usYou were insecure and reluctant with the sash

Perhaps thinking Im witch-like or sort of snobbishBut I was thinking that youre kill-joy and childish

Just like that, crowned like kings and queens there on that stageSuch moment was worth writing on an endless page

Never knowing then that it was not yet the endIn a preoccupied memry, there was a friend

Crossing seas, uncovering another levelWith hearts enraged with a spirit of a rebel

You captured the crowed by singing those party songs

Songs

I never thought would be nostalgic for long


2/4



I didnt cared how everything ended that nightFor you dreamed of horizons which couldve been right

I applauded your bravery to those true stuffsSettling slow when you learned that I live with hand-cuffs

tis was something I never thought of happeningThe blossoming of friendship and new beginningsClearly, you got along with my friends and colleagues

Then all of a sudden, changing our livesthat big

I could only dim my sight and give a deep sighThinking of that day I never thought was goodbye

Scenes brought me back to that day when tears start to droolAs I repeatedly thought of you as a fool

Crossing the limits of anger and miseryIn denial of an unrequited story

Mimicking such broken voice on the other lineI never heard silence when it was calling mine

Was your delusional love worth the risk?Was the word able to complete your lifes lyrics?

cause you know what? You did brought rhythm to our livesWasnt it enough reason to strive to survive?

Have you forgotten us? Us, who believed in you,Was it for that six-lettered name you left things threw?

cause I cant decipher how everything happenedWhy left everything undone? Why so sudden end?

Did you forget that song you sang at my debut?You can ask me to try but I shall never do

Havent you promised to be my crying shoulder?But why have you chosen love-suicide far better?

You are indeed a true friend sent from the heavensWherever youre performing, wherever youve been

Our hearts with assurance that thats where you should because you left our lives with a pleasant melody

For that day shall come, when all sorrows will be goneAnd all that was written will be considered doneFor even if the valley of tears shall run dry

Our hearts eternally hear your LAST LULLABY.


3/4



I tried.

Staying awake til midnight, just listening to the beat

My head is wandering beyond the voyage of my feet

Back to the golden days of youth while soaked with innocence

Living in fairy-tale endings while hoping with patienceI never thought that someday, somehow, I could write like this

Revealing every detail of life with my heart at peace

You may think Im crazy with such an art but, this is me

Im not certain that you would understand but cant you see?

Childish, I was ignorant of such Law of Attraction

I tried to play with fate, so I made my own love story

With my best friend, we perfected each qualification

Securely framing the plot and characters uniquely

If yin has its yang, just like how the sun hides from its moon

Well, I never dreamt of a typical ever-after

Like somewhat waiting for superman to rescue me soon?

Oh no! Falling in love with a villain is far better

I dont comprehend why theres a great need to understand

Why some people stand by the phrase opposites do attract

I tried to know, but its not something we feel through our hand

Its an unexplainable phenomenon beyond facts

My friends would describe me purely as every mans dream girlBut hell no! Im not that pretty, nor tall, nor that sexy

If its the name, then they only see the clam not the pearl

You see? Im just a hopelessly romantic nobody

Probably, youve heard the name from my lips a thousand times

But I never revealed his qualities or what hes like

An anime from my own world with his passion in crimes

I tried to tame his looks while he shows-off riding his bike

Triad piercing on his brow matched with silver and black rings

Cigarette and liquor runs through the veins of his tattoo

Hes got his moves in skating and his art in breakdancing

His sole weakness is but love, and he never had a clue

Conservative but talented lass in all her being

Nevertheless still greatly fears to fall in love madly

Is destined to conquer a heartless man through his feelings

And his weakness made him fall for the girl quite secretly

I tried to show how he decided to follow his heart

He cant break through her walls but he managed to find a wayRisking it all and taking it all back to the very start

Desperate to be with her, he pretended to be gay


4/4



Right now, I paused then closed my eyes to grasp for some thin air

cause just like that, years ago, I left my story hanging

And you know, reality is just too heavy to bear

Thats why I preferred to thrive in fantasy and dreaming

Saying to myself that, things might change the course of the way

I tried to stay in my colourful fortress for so long

til my heart was tied up to that imaginary play

Ever hoping that someday, indeed, he would come along

I just really wanted to say sorry at this moment

Because honestly, I never made these fuss just right now

Stepping out of the line was something I never meant

Its just that, hes the person who resembles him somehow

I admit that Im good at concealment and pretention

cause Im just weaker than you thought and still fragile by heartI tried to ignore each detail which leads to confusion

But theres a piece in me who says- we should not be apart

Im sorry but you dont know how I fall too easily

That only my self-made defences cant make you see through

Though possessive, my eyes can clearly hide my jealousy

And I never joke around cause all my actions are true

Im sorry that Im just too hooked-up with my fairy-tale

twas a mistake thinking that its my bride and groom faade

When I know that everything will just be a wasted tale

I tried to deceive myself that apart, I wont get sad

So, will he find the courage to tell me for the last time?

Did he ever think of me becoming his sweetest crime?

Is he willing to confide to me who he really is?

Doesnthe want me to stay with him, through sadness and bliss?

Whenever our hands entwine, does he feel like letting go?

Was it everything that we were just a part of a show?

Karma messed my story, so I smiledbut you see? I liedWill you finish it for me? cause Im tiredyou know- I tried.
