Enjoy,

Solace and Serenity


When I close my eyes –

I am alone, among the stars

Flitting like a butterfly in an empty space.

Things like this,

They're purposeless.

Why should I pursue you

If you'll never like me back?

This thing I have thumping in my heart, it's

Unrequited. It's all one-sided, is it not?

I think it was inevitable for me to discover

But you are shocked that I've found out…

I see that secret smile you have when I walk past

I think I'm pretending to not care when in reality it couldn't be

Farther from the truth.

I was stupid to think I had any chance with you,

You're unreachable, the Holy Grail I can't ever get.

However, I'm sure you've got that shining light by your side

He's a real jewel

Kiddy-king's finally grown up hasn't he?

Even his laugh echoes farther than mine,

It resonates with yours more fittingly.

His voice is draped with gold,

Rich and shining from miles away –

I cannot,

Will never,

Compare with him, will I,

In those lovely eyes of yours?

You are a leech on my soul

I cannot believe you are taking away my heart.

I don't smile as much as you do…

I would rather be with you,

Be still deceived that you like me…

But of course I threw it all down the drain –

Oblivion's a lie, and that's just that,

I won't change that.

I can't, you know.

All I can do is

Watch you hand in hand with him

Laughing all the way

And I –

I sit alone,

Among the shadows,

My heart slowly tearing itself apart –

And at night, when I fall asleep…

All I can dream about is your perfection.

I dream about gold,

Your radiance,

Your joy upon joy alone.

I dream

Dreams of gold.
