Lonesome
Walking through a night
I saw the stars up the sky
they blinked like flashy eyes
flattering my heart.
Brushing the sand around
with my satin feet
drawing a girl in shadows
who’ll look at me.
Even the sea helped me
painting the body and eyes
I wish she would’ve live
when I kiss on her lips.
That did not happened
winds vanished all over
now my breath went away
she couldn’t live any longer.
I’m lonesome
not for her, not for me
someday life will create
another being to love with.
I’m lonesome
not forever, but somehow
destiny will set up for me
with joy, peace and eternity.
