"I THINK I KNOW WHY COLE PORTER WROTE THAT SONG"

"JUST A KID TO YOU?"
She’s at the familiar crossroad again. Should she just give up chasing pavements, just to avoid the pain? That Adele song* often reminds her of this merciless torment. If only she could lie and t...
"WRITER@WORK"
I’m back into the real world. My body’s been here; my mind elsewhere. It was an imaginary realm of fear; it was a thriller. How does the story end? Sorry, I can’t tell you much now. It’s about th...
"REMEMBER ME"
Remember me, not as the girl I used to be. A lot has changed, you see? Now I make sure you’re no longer a powerful bully. Remember me, not as a girl whose life seems problem-free. My drama never ...

"A NOTE FOR THE STEEL BLUE EYES AND A WALK HOME THAT NIGHT"
There's something in your sweet, mysterious smile tonight - leaving me wondering why. Steel Blue Eyes, are we okay? Does this mean you're not angry with me? Still, your steel blue eyes are guar...
"HOPE AMONG THE RUINS"
What lies ahead? Can we really tell? Too many happenings can drive us mad. Some just love causing a fiery hell. Where do we go from here? So many things are left unsaid. There are things I still...
"THAT SUNNY SUNDAY"
I've been wanting to see you. It's been a while. I needed to get away from these blues. They could only be cured by your smiles. It was a rare, sunny Sunday. I hoped the heat hadn't stung you so...
"UNSPOKEN"
Close your eyes. Take a breath. Count to ten. It has taken you long to realise so many chances you have wasted. Now you can no longer pretend. This is the new you. You’ve come a long way. I’m a...
"SILENTLY"
I’ve never asked for any of this. I don’t want any disastrous bliss. Why...oh, why? Why does this have to make me want to cry? Should I cover this up with a lie? Now I’m haunted by your steel bl...
"DON'T SAY GOODBYE"
Don't say goodbye, for it will make me cry. Don't say goodbye, because these silent tears I cannot hide. I'm one of those who cannot lie, but only for you... I'll try to hide my sorrow behind thi...
"SILENCE(D?)"
Silence is always easy. Just shut your mouth and say nothing. Don't we know that already? Silence can be perfect for anything. Silence can be suffocating. How can you expect me to only see? What...
"THE WAITING"
Does this feel like sitting on a time bomb, waiting for it to explode? Aren't we as paralyzed as a stomped bubble gum? Can we read the signs, so upcoming dangers be put on hold? Will there be an...
"THE MONSTER OF THE ISOLATED CASTLE"
My blood has run cold at the news. I wish I'd never been told, but I know the real you. I may be far, but I'm still watching. No matter how hard, my ears are strained. You're not a man; you're ...
"AGAINST THE APATHY"
I’m not sure who to trust; they all look the same. Do they really care about us? Are we still caught up in the same old game? They say: “Use your instinct.” Some silly fools might flip a coin. I...
"YOUR LAST CHANCE"
You’ve had your chance. That’s what she thinks, the night she sees you there. This time, she no longer cares. You can’t forget her. Well, you should’ve known better. I bet you’re wishing you wer...
I'm standing in my silence, watching you give it all away. What are your chances? It seems things don't look okay. You say you can't take it anymore, so you just step back and go. Things are dif...
"ABANDON"
The clock is ticking. I’m done with counting down the days. Have you ever stopped to think that I’m not really okay? They’ve already warned me. Love has got me blinded. Will we always be, ...
"SIMPLY 'UNWELL'..."
Forgive me. I think I’ve just reached a breaking point here. I know it’s kind of scary. The old ghosts of the past have returned, I fear. I’m sorry. You’ve never seen me cry before. I’m silently...
"THE DELUSIONAL ONE"
Oh, delusional one. I can't help but laughing. I see all you've done in the name of your blunt fascination by his sole, human existence. Is this love or just your sad obsession? Aren't you piti...
"THE GIRL WITH THE RED, SWOLLEN EYES"
You may look at the girl in the mirror and joke about this: "It's a sign that you're going to be a superhero, girl. We both know that you're not a princess. You even loathe the thought of being a...
"HER SILENCE"
There are reasons behind her silence. Believe me, it's not ignorance. She cares about a lot of things, more than you might think. She just chooses not to say much. She fears she might cause a rio...
"GOOD ENOUGH?"
How can one lie so much and live with that? How well do they sleep every night? How much is at stake when one is so good at being so fake? They look at me and sneer as they say: "Aren't you funn...
