You say it's love
You can feel it in your blood
How can that be true?
When its all about money with you
...

I stole a smile from a child
I walked with it for a while
It almost made me cry
...

You're the flower and i the bee
You're the root and i the tree
You're the river and i the source
You're the song and i the voice
...

Do you want someone perfect?
Whose skin has no scar
Whose upright at every aspect
Whose dreams shine brighter than the star
...

Which mask should i wear today?
That will hide away my pain
I'll pick the one with a smile
What if i start to cry?
...

She's the apple in my eye
Most think my love is a lie
They say am after her cars and jewels
She always smile and ignore their empty tunes
...

I stared at her nails
As i gave her away
I felt a loneliness
Underneath my breast
...

I've lost the drive to write
Am now like a child lost in the night
Confused and scared
Frozen in mind
...

The times you were here
I never did notice
I remember you now with every tear
And each time my heart feels empty
...

Am scared to open my eye
To realize you're not really mine
That it was all but a dream
I feel bad because it felt real
...

How should i forget?
How you tore my heart apart
Time is was suppose to heal all wounds
Yet it's now a year and my pains are still new
...

I wish for that special one
Who would give me her love
Her eyes will shine like the morning sun
And kill men with all her curve
...

Have dated lots of girls
None will ever be like her
With all the insults and blows
Am still the guy she chose
...

It felt like love at first sight
His words were like suns light
We met here and there
He treated me right
...

My dear
I feel bad you're not here
I miss you're brown eyes
How they blink when you lie
...

I painted her on a canvas
Designed all her curves
I focused my brush on her smile
Her teeth perfectly align
...

Life is an empty vacuum
With lots of puzzles but no clues
Some even say it's a game
And the rules change everyday
...

Every June i buy her flowers
I sit and we talk for hours
I usually have lots to say
Because i miss her everyday
...

You left him saying am the best
That he never loved you and gave you stress
You just wanted to lay on my chest
It broke his heart i could see in his eyes
...

I saw a bird behind a leaf
I moved closer to take a look
I saw both her eyes covered in grief
I asked her if there was something i could do
...
