"The Fight"

How does one bear the hurt,
How does one deal with pain...
Until when can he keep
What's driving him insane (?)


How can he gag his heart
And keep it from yearning
What it can't really have
And shouldn't be keeping (?)


How can he fake his smiles
With his heart on his sleeves...
Feigning a cheerful mood
While his grieving heart bleeds (?)


How can he keep his eyes
From hiding all his fears
If behind its sparkle
Keeps a bucket of tears (?)


How can he keep his hands
And body from trembling
When each time he held her
There's that fear of losing (?)

One can never discern
No matter how he try...
How deep true love can be
When it's time for "goodbye".


I guess I wouldn't know...
I guess I won't find out...
For I chose to fight off
This clearly losing bout.

"Wounded LOVE"

Tonight I shed a tear.
      Because i no longer feel you near...
                though you said you'll stay.
      Because I no longer feel you see me...
               though I'm where you want me to be.
Maybe I'm just numb...
      With the pain...
      With the fact...
      With the feeling.
               The pain that you can never be mine.
               The fact that past can never be re-lived.
               The feeling that was but can never be.

I always believed in LOVE.
I always had faith in its power.
     But I feel drained right now.
            Drained of all its strength...
                  emptied of all its hope...
                          stripped of its life.

Maybe because I gave it my all...
            poured out my heart...
            used up my time.

Maybe.

But I always believed in LOVE...
      I always believed in second chances...
      I always believed in happy endings...
                                 in YOU...
                                      in ME...
                                           in US.

Life does not end with a tear.
For always there's another moment.
      always there's another hour.
      always there's another day.

Tonight I shed a tear.
But pain daunts me not.
So long as time is my friend...
      So long as my heart beats your name...
           I will remain.

I will remain, my love.
