Deserving of Life
I met someone I liked, we unmistakably touched
Asphalt over dirt, skin over steel
If we instinctively choose warmth instead of the cold
Then our dirt-covered faces
are deserving of life
There are those who snarl that we’re overreaching
but we’ll sing of their hypocrisy
If you need a reason to push forward
Be it anger, or something else
it is deserving of life
For the sun to rise and dry my spilled tears
Patiently and tirelessly I wait and wait
I’ve continued reaching, since that day it all fell apart
For the morning I will be redeemed
It’s worth destroying the world
for the warmth I seek
We could not be together
Loneliness with loneliness
What happened on those travels?
That habit of laughing away pain
There wouldn’t have been much to regret
If only we didn’t have a hearts
I made a friend
we shared ideals
We headed forward
our strides were the same
I’d even stomach betrayal
The nights we drank till dawn
sprawled on the side of the road
are deserving of life
We kept searching for something, to replace what we’d lost
Perhaps it’s not so, and loss is the solution
Hoping for the tables to turn, knowing that it’s not impossible
Even the footsteps that trailed off, should be called the journey
It was worth deceiving the world, for what we had
We couldn’t keep apart, loners who had found each other
What happened on those travels?
A look that said inflicting pain was to be expected
There wouldn’t have been much to regret
If only we didn’t have a hearts
To protect what I loved, I broke many things
So many wishes brought suddenly to an end
Walking across the broken pieces with bare feet, falling with my next step
I’d accept death with that one step
yet that is the one deserving of life
That loss, worth giving your heart for
But sadness can’t make a clean switch for joy
What happened on those travels?
The answer is what I am now
What happened on those travels?
Hope, we could have thrown it away so simply
If only we didn’t have hearts
Light and Darkness
