Friend of Convenience
A friend is good only when they can help.
Otherwise, they’ll say, “So many like you came and went.”
Make just one mistake and they’ll forget,
How much you once meant in their life.
Pretending
Every day, someone keeps breaking someone else’s heart.
Yet the flower shops remain endlessly crowded.
Doesn’t this prove?
That true love is as hard as it gets,
but pretending to love just as easy.
Own
Even your own shadow is not truly yours.
Once light fades, it leaves you alone.
Oh foolish heart,
for whom do you keep nurturing so much care?
In this world, nothing is truly “ours.”
Search deeply, you’ll find only emptiness.
The End
How many stories end before the last word is spoken?
How many words fall silent, realizing there’s no one left to hear them?
Does “the end” ever truly end?
Some are ended,
Some choose to end themselves.
And the one who was once mine,
Soon belonged to another’s heart.
So she bade me farewell,
and the story was no longer special.
How many words fall silent, realizing there’s no one left to hear them?

Some choose to end themselves.
And the one who was once mine,
Soon belonged to another’s heart.
So she bade me farewell,
and the story was no longer special.
Another Life
Happiness, tell me,
could you ever be mine in another life?
Without you, I’ve somehow dragged through this one,
bending myself to fit into the emptiness you left.
