Mystery

Your mysterious black eyes always leave me wondering
Is there pain in your heart?
Do you shed tears for those around you?
What have you suffered? I shall never know…
Your dark eyes mock me.
They remind me of when I look into the dark sky
And admire the stars…
But your eyes do not shine.
They have a secret never to be told.
Every now and then when I look into your right eye,
Slowly, your color is fading away.
It wounds me.
Seeing your pain spread like a plague
Eating inside you.
The darkness of your eye would fade
And would soon be as white as milk.

Nobody Seems to Care

The world’s cold
And nobody seems to care
You’re feeling like you’re all alone in this large world
you feel like nobody would understand
Because they’re not you

When there’s someone who seems to care
And you think there’d be some hope in your heart
And some sparks in your only candle
You imagine your life in a better way
And you think it’d happen for real
And you start to be happy and smile some more

ONe day, you find out it was all pretend
There was never any hope in your heart
Or any sparks in your precious candle
It wasn’t anyone who seems to care
Or there was someone but they couldn’t do anything

You’re feeling like you’re falling apart
Like you’re not in one piece
You feel like it’s all wasted for nothing
The world’s cold
And nobody seems to care
