True Love for False One
Stars of destiny take me there
Love is true where
And may i not end in despair

I found it amusing the way you got into my life
Without letting me know you changed in a while
But now when i'm looking back
I can feel my heart aching inside
It doesn't matter what you did
'Cause I'll love you all through my life

I found you in the deepest part of love
How you got there is an unknown affair
Today I suspect that you are still there
How you changed is the cause of my tears
I peep out of the window
And see you walking away
Tears touch the ground
And I plead for you to stay

Fighting through the darkness
Struggling for the crimson light
Holding you close near me
And feeling the mystery in your eyes
I got to know the reason baby
Why you left me struggling with your memories tonight

The only time I felt worse than loneliness
Was when my heart got lost
And the only thing worth it's pain
Was the price of what love costs
Cause when I thought it all to be in my hands
That's when it was gone
And when I felt that I had you
That's when you told me that I was too wrong

You were the everything I ever wanted to be
But now when you're gone
Everything seems lost for me

Still I hope to do
Whatever the best I can do
To get back to you
Every single road I take
Minding it to you
Asleep or wide awake
Just dreaming of you
And before it's too late
I'll surely find a way back to you

And that's what I'll surely do
For me and for you

Endless Love
Look at the Lovely sky so blue;
And feel, my Angel, how much I love you
Come to me so we can start;
Take my life oh take my Heart

The best thing I know;
Is that I have loved you
But its worse for me;
'Cuz I can't have you

You filled that empty space;
With the love I used to chase
And now all nights and days;
Baby I wanna see your face

There's no life for me in water and land;
And its because you're not here to hold my hand
You can be my life, you can be my friend
But always remember, my love has no end.

My love
Don't you know how much I miss you?
I'm sleepless without your sight;
I feel so lonely all day long
Although the world is around

Unable to believe I found you;
In you I feel god's presence
Hug me when I open my arms
And show me the love intense

I thought that happy endings;
Were only in the books I read;
But you made me feel alive;
When I was almost dead

Hold my hands and keep me near;
When we are together, there's nothing to fear
Even though you lie or make me cry;
But my love for you will never die

Importance of today
Today you live
Tomorrow you may die
Today have fun
If tomorrow never comes

Today is in front of you
Tomorrow may betray you
So live for today
Tomorrow is far away

Today you live
Tomorrow you may die
Today have fun if
Tomorrow never comes…

The Sweetest Memory
When in life I cannot forget
Some special persons I've met
She is so really awesome
With a sight that makes me blossom
And this little joy I wanted to share
For there is someone who really cares
She looks at me with a sigh and a smile
And this memories in my heart I will file
For every moment she made me glee
Thinking of her love I pray to thee,
For she who filled my heart with a spark
Never will her memories fade in the dark
“I LOVE YOU MA”!

A barbie-paralled life
She walks over the cracked pavement
The pupils of many sharpen to her mystic
Her beauty is registered in the sharp toss of her glossed-filled hair
The world spins on its axis at the tip of her finger
Her oblivion to a barbie paralled life
Is taken away when she sees the reflection of a familiar stranger
What used to be hangs over her , resting only in memories erased away
The illusion of a leper is hidden under pink lips and rouged cheeks
Barbie wipes her face... takes off her wig and can't turn from the truth
What used to be died the day the disease overtook you.
