A Weeping Heart
The scorching sun blinded my sight,
Gradually the ocean runs dry,
The succulent and green, turns brown plant,
The wet street goes dry so the earth cry,
How many more surprise is yet to unfold?
Our loving heart you've long got sold.
My heart is dry and empty,
My cheeks lacks tears to shed,
We did consider it a sin, the word chastity,
We made a garden for us to breed,
I wonder how your tongue becomes so tasty,
I cherish every meal you called word,
Now am crying for a hand to hold.
How beautiful was the sky that I forgot it rain?
How perfect was your lies that I ignore your twitched eyes?
Alas! I was a helpless tot but thought I've grown,
You were the mastermind, you made the plans,
An overdose love caused me my sight,
So I saw dim light and called it bright.
Before I looked you were long gone,
In this scary path you left me alone,
To the sound of the night I became glope,
Hoping the sky will take pity on my soul,
Then find a way to cry out my sorrow,
But I couldn't so I lost my part that glow.
What happened to your birdlike voice?
Your love professions and the vow we took,
Your trace of hand in my loins bring me to a fuse,
Pain! What a perfect love I think,
You painted a perfect picture, I can't deny,
They were a trick, this bring me to sigh.
I wasted time building house without a brick,
I was sick but never once go for a break,
I thought in your warmth holidays wasn't lack,
You saw my innocence then gave a smirk,
A minute of consciousness I did lack,
Gradually I gave you my all then you got me wreck.
