Staring at the half-moon
I wondered why it glowed like so
Clouds passing by stained with lights maroon
The stars and the moon gracefully glow

Staring at the half-moon
As the night breeze tickled my skin
I realised that time flew by so soon,
But memories continued to resonate from within.

Staring at the half-moon
I raised my chin up the sky
A nightingale sings a silent tune
As if calling for me to fly

Staring at the half-moon
I began to sink deeper and deeper
I spotted a drifting balloon
It just went higher and higher

Staring at the half moon
Its glow bathed me with a sudden calm
Oh, this light would go away soon
If only I could grasp it in my palm

Staring at the half-moon
I forgot why it glowed like so
Gone are the clouds stained with lights maroon
The time has come for me to go.

Spare me that guilt
Spare me that shame
Though it may seem like
I alone carry the blame

Fear claws violently at the bark
as the rotten fruit slowly dries in the dark
If the leaves of truth were hid from the light
No more fruits there will be to mark

Praise the wind as it blows
Its fragrance thrills the bloody nose
Oh, blow this pain away
Remove it now as you make me sway

Spare me some light
Spare me some honour
I need some fire to survive this fight
For I am left with no armour.

Push that blade in me
Push it in deep
I beg for death in one thrust
It is my sin to painfully lust

Pry the eyelids open
Let through a glimpse of heaven
If this is what it’s like to die
It’s far better
than to hear you lie

Curse me a loving soul
Bless forth the burning angel
Spread wings greet me with tears
As chains bind me with my fears

Cut open a door to my heart.
And let it free
For it has done its part
No more tears for me to shed
Just leave alone
the eyes that have bled.

I have but forgotten
The taste of bread
The feel of grass
The smell of wind
The sound of water
I have but forgotten

My windows are shut dead
My sinew rigid as lead
My skin burns with the stench of coal
As my heart quietly succumbs to the cold

Fangs bite into my eyes
As they peer numbly through lies
Unknown of what may be
Lest the blade roars in fury

Fear not of me
Fear not for me
Fear not to love me, to hate me,
to cherish me, to deny me
For it is the path I that chose to succumb
It is what I have become.

Oh wait, I think I do.
I mean, I did so, too.
More like, I wanted to know you.
Yes, I wanted to know about you.

But, what happened?

Let’s see, from words you tow
Perhaps you DO know me.
Or was it me whom you know?
The one who you expected me to be?

I thought I knew you
Tuns out I don’t
I thought you knew me
Looks like you do,
but known not in the way I wished to be

And then there was silence.
It was one that was beyond conscience.

Do you still know me?
From the way you talk it doesn’t look like you do
Looked back, looked forth too
More like, you don’t want to know me.

Left me wondering,
wtf is actually happening?

And then, you started talking suddenly
all conversational as if you know me
But just to kill time
You approached me and spoke as if it was crime
The style was like mayonnaise squeezed with lime
Too bad it’s all covered with grime

You sound helpless
You sound hurt
Somehow you’re in a ruckus
And you just can’t help but blurt
Oh fuck, I’m gonna break in a shower of tears

Wished I could help do out
Wished you’d let me hear you shout
Wished I can ease your pain
Yet in my ignorance, I’m just someone plain

So I know you now
I thought you knew me then
Here I am wondering how
You’re a fucking lamer, not worth a cent

To think I was obsessed
My heart poured, my soul bled
I broke myself
Honoured you like an elf
My eyes still cheat me now
but my mind sees the truth that was read

Do I know you?
Well, I guess I do.
