  The act.

  The affectionate bond.

  The dreamy haze.

  The forgotten grace.

  The lame trick.

  The music embrace.

  The riddle of love.

  The speed of life.

  The train.

  The truth

  The wine.

  The words.

  This is how I died.

  This is what love is.

  The Act

  Had fingers tight in a fist,

  Just pushing through the mist,

  Had urge to fight alone,

  Had always been alone,

  Memories flooded back,

  One by one in a stack,

  Lost everything I conserved,

  At the cost of hardness I preserved,

  Fist met the surface,

  Oh so intensely,

  Had a force in this case,

  Oh so briefly,

  Here I was scolding my mind,

  To stop giving me flashback so blind,

  Oh I am in the boxing ring,

  Of life,

  Yeah I am the champion,

  I am life,

  You cannot intervene,

  The act,

  I had put up a scene,

  Now stop your villainy act,

  Just let me do my scene,

  And stop your villainy act,

  Just let me have my dream,

  Let me do the act,

  I thought I became ripe,

  After tears I had to wipe,

  Had flashes I didn't want to see,

  Why did you do this to me?

  Remembered how I was hurt,

  Remembered the words so blurt,

  Thought you loved me,

  But now there is truth that I see,

  Fist met the surface,

  Oh so intensely,

  Had a force in this case,

  Oh so briefly,

  Here I was scolding my mind,

  To stop giving me flashback so blind,

  Oh I am in the boxing ring,

  Of life,

  Yeah I am the champion,

  I am life,

  You cannot intervene,

  The act,

  I had put up a scene,

  Now stop your villainy act,

  Just let me do my scene,

  And stop your villainy act,

  Just let me have my dream,

  Let me do the act,

  We could have been different,

  Could have had a future so brighten,

  But you fooled us,

  You choose a different bus,

  Fist met the surface,

  Oh so intensely,

  Had a force in this case,

  Oh so briefly,

  Here I was scolding my mind,

  To stop giving me flashback so blind,

  Oh I am in the boxing ring,

  Of life,

  Yeah I am the champion,

  I am life,

  You cannot intervene,

  The act,

  I had put up a scene,

  Now stop your villainy act,

  Just let me do my scene,

  And stop your villainy act,

  Just let me have my dream,

  Let me do the act.

  The Affectionate Bond

  Knocked on the door so aloud,

  Feet as light as a cloud,

  The warmth is lavishing inside,

  By seeing the smile that you hide,

  The sweet cologne of yours,

  Had me falling over the floor,

  The lips pursed up and shut,

  Just the disguise which is worth,

  Recognized the hidden fond,

  Wanted to mend the bond,

  Broke the connection vigorously,

  Started my play effortlessly,

  Listened to all the words,

  Listened to the curse,

  I said nothing to you,

  Except for the only few,

  The words you see,

  That I want you to,

  Have the affectionate bond,

  The affectionate bond,

  With me,

  Wearing the same apron,

  But heart claim to have drawn,

  The control is too much to pursue,

  Just to have a review,

  Of the door behind me,

  You want me to see,

  Shook my head at once,

  This was my only chance,

  I know you have the fond,

  Wanted to mend the bond,

  Broke the connection vigorously,

  Started my play effortlessly,

  Listened to all the words,

  Listened to the curse,

  I said nothing to you,

  Except for the only few,

  The words you see,

  That I want you to,

  Have the affectionate bond,

  The affectionate bond,

  With me,

  I know you are mad,

  I know you are sad,

  Want you to have trust,

  Is it too much?

  I know hidden is the fond,

  Wanted to mend the bond,

  Broke the connection vigorously,

  Started my play effortlessly,

  Listened to all the words,

  Listened to the curse,

  I said nothing to you,

  Except for the only few,

  The words you see,

  That I want you to,

  Have the affectionate bond,

  The affectionate bond,

  With me.

  The Dreamy Haze

  Lived in a lifeless hole,

  Used to be a troll,

  Again in the dark,

  Wanted just a cart,

  Strolled forward,

  Towards the voices heard,

  Electricity shivered,

  Stepped back but never traveled,

  Desired for the outer world,

  Desired to be a bird,

  Just stranded in a den,

  Warm light wasn't in clench,

  Saw with dreamy eyes,

  Giving many more tries,

  Just a wave of sunlight,

  Which might be very bright?

  The chirping of birds,

  The wandering of herds,

  Warmness and peace,

  Following by the bees,

  Desired for a place,

  Where the troll could trace,

  The dreamy haze,

  Shined a glimpse of light,

  Traveling towards the sight,

  Shivered the troll,

  As it entered the hole,

  The flight was magnificent,

  Strolling for a hunt,

  When the clench was forgotten,

  The light was driven,

  Was inside the dark again,

  No one to blame,

  Just stranded in a den,

  Warm light wasn't in clench,

  Saw with dreamy eyes,

  Giving many more tries,

  Just a wave of sunlight,

  Which might be very bright?

  The chirping of birds,

  The wandering of herds,

  Warmness and peace,

  Following by the bees,

  Desired for a place,

  Where the troll could trace,

  The dreamy haze,

  Darkest thoughts prevailed,

  Light taught to behave,

  Just believe in the dream,

  Just have an animated scene,

  Desired to be heard,

  Desired to be a bird,

  Just stranded in a den,

  Warm light wasn't in clench,

  Saw with dreamy eyes,

  Giving many more tries,

  Just a wave of sunlight,

  Which might be very bright?

e chirping of birds,

  Desired for a place,

  Where the troll could trace,

  The Forgotten Grace

  Admired the figure,

  Always had a trigger,

  Of the hearts to open the gates,

  Always ignored the hates,

  So blossom so awesome,

  This flower used to burn,

  Many walking hearts,

  Her face was the ultimate art,

  Soon a day came,

  When she had the fame,

  She trusted blindly,

  Just way too kindly,

  Broken glass,

  Reflected the face,

  Showed the class,

  They will now face,

  She had been used,

  Had been introduced,

  To many crimes,

  There were many primes,

  She altered her face,

  Forgot the chase,

  Now she is just a haze,

  Just a haze,

  Of the forgotten grace,

  Used to believe in tales,

  Heart was yet again hale,

  Believed in day dreams,

  To her no one was mean,

  As beautiful as a flower,

  She always had showered,

  The love and care,

  To her it was fair,

  Soon a day came,

  When she had the fame,

  She trusted blindly,

  Just way too kindly,

  Broken glass,

  Reflected the face,

  Showed the class,

  They will now face,

  She had been used,

  Had been introduced,

  To many crimes,

  There were many primes,

  She altered her face,

  Forgot the chase,

  Now she is just a haze,

  Just a haze,

  Of the forgotten grace,

  The broken reality,

  Was the futurity?

  She cannot change,

  The broken cannot mend,

  No matter the range,

  Companions use bend,

  Soon a day came,

  When she had the fame,

  She trusted blindly,

  Just way too kindly,

  Broken glass,

  Reflected the face,

  Showed the class,

  They will now face,

  She had been used,

  Had been introduced,

  To many crimes,

  There were many primes,

  She altered her face,

  Forgot the chase,

  Now she is just a haze,

  Just a haze,

  Of the forgotten grace.

  The Lame Trick

  Stepping out the door,

  Feet padding on the floor,

  So heavy is my heart,

  Remembering words so tart,

  The past so sore,

  Ripping out my soul,

  All the love and care,

  Gone with a glare,

  The church seems so dark,

  The night is frightening so far,

  The knack you carried,

  Was now being buried,

  Couldn’t feel anything,

  Couldn’t see anything,

  Raining drops of water,

  Singing song of starter,

  Saying you have had enough,

  Now just be tough,

  The sweetness you faked,

  It was your trick,

  Just a little lame trick,

  The lame trick,

  Making me weak,

  Imagined the scenes,

  Made me so keen,

  Only to start a life,

  Even with the strife,

  But you had to strike,

  The flower turned into knife,

  Had a dove within,

  That you decided to trim,

  The place is so dark,

  The night is frightening so far,

  The knack you carried,

  Was now being buried,

  Couldn’t feel anything,

  Couldn’t see anything,

  Raining drops of water,

  Singing song of starter,

  Saying you have had enough,

  Now just be tough,
