Eternal

You were never my destination Just a diversion on the way, Neither had you given it a second thought Nor had I the courage to say, To say goodbye a long time ago But clinging to you was my only hope, I see you going far far away Ah shouldn’t have taken my breath away,…

Pain

This tingling pain My eyes burn, It adores my body Worships my soul Pain, Penetrates through my skin Leaves me punctured, Fills my days with deadness Nights with insomnia Pain, What a priceless reward Sometimes a surprise Lasts forever, In My dark memories… © Soiba Image: Zaplife

Made in Heaven

She was lost when she felt his hand on her cheek “Come with me”, he said She held his hand and they started walking into the forest. “A part of you knows that we’re gonna get through this”, he tightened the grip of his hand over hers. “Whenever you used to say something like this,…

Wake-up Call
