The Other End

They say trust his words
I doubt him always
I couldn't bring myself to trust his words and promises

They say trust his work
"What work?" I asked
It's not his but another
One that I will never understand its mechanism

They say trust his people
"His people? Which kind?" I said
The one who speaks or the one who listens?
Or the one who leave others with their belief

Well that is that
It's still a long way to go
And a lot more convincing to do

I'm on the other end, a different person
Not a thing like you

And If You Are

Funny how everything comes out easily from you
Like you have nothing to worry about
Nothing to hide
Somehow I find it too good to be true
Or perhaps you're through with things that I'm still going through
You've passed that stage
And I'm still on it
Still closer to my beginning than you are to yours
Still healing
Still thinking
Still wondering
If you are for real
If you really exist
Or just pretending to be the kind of person that I think you are
The stronger one
Who will never fail me
And if you are
If...

Oxygen

Barely breathing, lost in a lullaby
Roaming like a criminal, an angry passerby
Hurt inside out, buried deep in agony
In the harsh light of day, stuck in a rhapsody
But in the calmness of night, your warmth gives me peace
In the sweetness of dreams, you give me joy and bliss
And I'm breathing again with hope, faith and trust
Believing again that this too shall pass

Inglorious Glow

So I tried to read your mind but your snigger caught me
I tried to breathe easy but your tinkers poached me
So suspicious; this notion between you and me
Yet so wondrously it lingers, snuggling me
No promises made, no expectations foreseen
Though it seems unpromising and almost unseen
Will it remain inglorious, I'd rather not know
For if it stays notorious, I'd doom the glow

That Trust

Sometimes we overplay it
Sometimes we disobey it
Sometimes we disarray it
Sometimes we outstay it
And then we underpay it
Most times we don't potray it
Afraid we'd dismay it
After we've devotedly copay it
