For the sake of love
I have become an enemy
To those who love me
For the sake of love
I’ve chosen to love you
Even though you detest me
For the sake of love
I have been foolish
And I’m just realizing it
For the sake of love
I have wasted my time
And I wish I could get it back
For the sake of love
I have lost it all
In exchange for loneliness
When I’m gone
Write a song
Of my form
During the storm
Doing that which is morally right,
Not because of the benefits it attracts,
But because you have a good heart filled with love,
That’s righteousness.
Tomorrow has no end,
Today expires,
The past is irrevocable,
Avoid procrastination.
Take me away,
I want to be set free.
Fix me at the top,
I want to become me.
A demon sent from heaven,
Pretty as an egg,
Clothe in man’s clothing,
An Angel in disguise.
Life was cold and old,
Time on hold to fold,
But your coming untold,
Sent a light to behold.
Dwell with me I pray,
Don’t mind being your prey,
Having you in my story all day,
Gives me a reason to stay.
A demon you might be,
But the heart of an Angel I see,
Sent from God to dwell with me,
A pure demon of peace.
My heart beats with you,
The twin of my mind,
I hope not to lose you,
My own true friend.

Get me an eraser
Let me wipe a part of my story
I need a pen
To fill it with glory
My regrets and mistakes
The embarrassments and shame
I need to wipe off my lane
To write myself a beautiful past
But maybe I wouldn’t have been this wise
Where would I have gathered the experiences
What lessons would life had taught me
If my life were a piece of perfection
How would I learn to live tomorrow
What would be my motivation
What could have given me the strength
How would I direct the path of my offspring
Yet, I wish life could be perfect
I would have loved to retrace my steps
But what is a life free of errors
A life void of knowledge
When the earth is tense,
When your feet are cold,
When your mouth is dry,
When your teeth are busy,
When your head is light,
When the world is all on you,
Always put on a smile,
Believing the better days are fast approaching.
When darkness overshadows light
And the door of life seems shut
There lies the morning
Which holds joy and gladness
Waiting for the right time to be unleashed
