Voting Anxiety

There was a rise in power. There was a rise in leadership. There was a rise in governance. The advertisements, propaganda, posters wrapped around my mind, spiralling to the forefront of my peripheral knowledge. I was not interested in politics. I never was. But at the legal voting age, I was a part of the community – a part of society. It was like an asteroid whacked me wide awake. I was eighteen. I was a legal adult.

Staring at the ballot paper, I was horrified. I was not prepared for this. I was not ready for this. I was too young for this. My surroundings, full of adults, were now a part of my world. I would have to get used to this.

What was I going to do?

The chill in the air was a disturbing comfort.  I didn’t mind the cold weather but today was not an ordinary day. It was election day.

Staring around me, I felt a wash of fear. What if I messed this up? What if I destroyed our country? What if I ruined our country? The pressure of the vote was overpowering, overwhelming. I barely felt my knees, legs, and hands. I was succumbed to guilt – the guilt of voting for the wrong party.

Maybe the whole country wouldn’t spiral into an ordeal if I chose the favoured party?

But what happened when it did? What would have happened if my vote created anarchy? What would have happened if I caused a civil war?

Honestly, none of this would have mattered. People voted for Labor as well. I would not have been the only one. But what if I was? What if I was the only one who voted for Labor? Would that have been bad? Would that have caused controversy? Would that have caused a barrier?

The random noises of people entering and leaving flooded my ears, my heart pounding faster than usual. It was perplexing. I couldn’t believe what was happening and I didn’t know what to do. It was like a whole new experience, and I was not ready for it. I was not ready at all.

I could not remember if I had learnt this or not. Sometimes I wonder if I gained this knowledge, maybe then I would have been ready? But I was not.

* * *

Like curiosity killed the cat, my curiosity was killing me. I needed to know if I had caused the first civil war of our country. I needed to know. Tears pricking at my eyes, I was not ready for the announcement of the results. I was not ready to find out the fate of the country. I was never ready to be an adult.

“The election has concluded. Thank you to all the participants for voting. Our Party in government is the Coalition.”

There was no other announcement.

Like a tide rolling in and out, I was overcome with relief and peace. Nothing happened, nothing occurred, nothing collided.  The country was still in order. Even with the Coalition in power, it was better than a civil war. Maybe my values align with Labor’s but that should not have divided our country.

We all had choices. We all had a say. We were all equal.

The Talent Show

Performing our piece

Was such a joy.

We loved to choreograph

Our little dance routine.

It was a pleasure to work with her

After all our mini disputes

That nearly tore us apart

Before our part.

Performing

Performing my assessment piece in Music

Was always extremely nerve-wracking.

I feel my bones shaking

And my mind running.

I love the thrill of performing

But I was frightened that my song

Would not live up to

Those of my peers.

It was a tough journey

And now my hard work

Lies within their ears

And decide my fate.

Writing my Day Away

Sitting at my desk,

I let my fingers type furiously

As I make progress towards my goals.

I focus on my emails and correspondence

As soon as I begin

And then my poetry.

I listen to music and the tapping of my keys

Before transitioning to my novel.

I allow myself to sink into the story

And immerse with the characters,

Watching over them like a guardian angel.

Writing all day and night

Gives me a sense of tranquillity.

I love working on my pieces

And sharing them with the world.

The Colours of my Heart

Happiness fills my heart

As I paint my friends and family

For my empty, lonely wall.

It brings life to my soul

And gives me optimism for the day

That one day we may reunite.

Being Creative

Drawing, writing, painting.

I love working on art pieces

That fills my heart with joy.

Singing, sculpting, dancing.

It is exciting to see what comes to life

And brings a spark to my day.

Being creative is relaxing and fun

As I explore everything outside the box

And have fun with my friends.

Family Adventures

Family adventures were always my favourite,

Especially road trips to the coast.

It was always a joy to see and hear

What I wouldn’t in the city.

I would never regret those days

That ended quite badly

Because those challenges made

Our family adventures all the more fun.

Playing With Dolls

My sister and I always played

With our favourite dolls

And explore on mini adventures.

I enjoy the stress-free games

And the feeling of not knowing

What time is.

Playing with dolls with my sister

Was always a fun time

And now I get to relive it with my stepsister.

Joy

The joy of waking up

To my favourite people

Is a dream come true.

I love seeing their smiles

As soon as my eyes flutter

And their excitement for the day.

Pictures

My best friend is a photographer and designer.

I am a model and actress.

We love helping each other with our skills

Whenever we have a project to do.

I model her clothing and merchandise

While she takes photos of me and my work.

It is such an easy workday

Whenever we take photos and laugh together.

Those pictures always bring happy memories

Full of excitement and joy from those days

And I cannot imagine working with someone else

Whenever I replay our crazy photoshoots.

Memories of You

The photos captured the days we spent

Exploring and travelling the world.

I miss you more and more each day

Since you left for a better time.

I know you look down on me

And witness these moments

When I reminisce over everything

We did as crazy teenagers.

His Birthday

His birthday was different

To what he had planned.

Things changed immediately

Before we had a chance

To savour what we could.

I feel terrible that I was

Not there to celebrate

His birthday with him

But he told me that he’d

Choose our night over the

Extravagant party thrown

Any other day.

Happy Moments

Seeing my friends rejoice

Over their Christmas gifts

Was super sweet.

It was nice spending time

As a group before things

Became different soon.

We were grateful for

Our final moment

Before moving states.

Budgeting

Learning how to budget

Was interesting during class.

To think we would take things seriously

Was almost a joke.

Somehow we understood the work

But it was filled with more giggles

Than calculative numbers.

However, I wouldn’t have it any way else.

Nature Walks

Spending time in nature

On a late afternoon walk

Is such a blessing

Since working at home.

It provides clarity to my mind

And massages my brain.

I cherish my time in nature

Especially when hiking the trails.

Summer Fun

Splashing at the beach

With my friends in the sun

Is so much fun.

We play volleyball and

Enjoy a sweet picnic

Of icy, delicious meals.

Winter Breeze

The frosty morning

And chilly days in winter

Always wake me with a smile.

I love walking to school

In the winter breeze

And feeling my mind relax.

It is so calming before a day

Filled with lectures and research

Just like the sight of snow.

Damaged

My mind hurts with the drama

Circling on repeat.

I hated this.

It was insane to think

That they would fall out

Over a silly argument

But we were all silly.

We took sides

And avoided the others

To show our loyalty,

Causing the drift

In our eroded friendship.

Stings Like a Bee

I thought that this wouldn’t hurt.

But how dumb was I?

I always thought that we would be

Together forever and ever

Until that week when we heard

Those words escape from within.

What happened to us?

Why did we let each other go?

We still can’t let each other go

In our hearts even after all this time

And we hate seeing each other

With somebody else.

Why did we stop fighting?

Why did we stop trying?

Why did we just stop?

It all stings like a bee.

Seeing the Rainbow

Seeing the rainbow

After a thunderstorm

Brings me hope.

Seeing the rainbow

After a disaster

Brings me optimism.

Seeing the rainbow

After a death

Brings me light.

Seeing the rainbow

Helps me remember

There is more to life.

Designs

The spirals and swirls

On the dresses and shirts

Remind me of the clothes

That my niece loves.

She has always been a fan

Of patterned clothes

Whereas I preferred solids

And neutrals in clothing.

I smile as I grab a hat

With sparkles and

A giant pink ribbon bow

For her seventh birthday.

Favourite Drink

My favourite drink

Is a glass of chilled water,

Refreshing my mind.

Phones

Communication

Through phones makes talking with

My old friends stress-free.

Difficulties

Difficulties can

Be frustrating but vital

To explore the world.

Obstacles

Obstacles are a part of life

And they shape you into who you are.

The challenges help you grow,

Strengthen your skills

And enhance your opportunities.

You learn to appreciate things more

As well as gain a greater perspective

Of the extraordinary world.

Life would never be as interesting

Without those gruesome challenges

As annoying as they may seem

But they form a part of you –

One to help you brave the world you live in

And continue to prosper

With immense knowledge.

Happy Days

Happy days are bright

Sunny days when spending time

Doing what we love.

Math Homework

Sitting at my desk and

Focusing on my math homework

Brought reminders of the upcoming test.

This topic was exhausting

Despite being not the hardest one of the year.

Remembering all the methods were getting tough.

I never minded doing Algebra

But now that I moved to Extension,

It was causing me more pain than relief.

Me Time

Whenever I have time to myself,

I spend it doing the things I love.

I write poems and stories and

Read heart-warming books.

I enjoy painting and colouring,

Doodling kittens and tiny bunnies.

I relish the shows and movies

And indulge in my favourite treats.

I love learning random facts

Or finding my next favourite thing.

I enjoy the summer breeze

As well as the calming workouts for my mind.

Having time for myself is always a blessing

To disconnect from the world

And evaluate my journey

And revel in my accomplishments.

Make sure to make time for yourself

And enjoy making memories

That fill your heart and soul

With great joy and happiness.

Losing Everything

Losing everything in the blink of an eye

Is painful and tragic.

Losing everything in the blink of an eye

Hurts like no other.

Losing everything in the snap of a second

Damages your soul with hatred.

Losing everything in the snap of a second

Stabs your heart repetitively till it can bleed no more.

Losing everything is a tragedy

Like a love story that ends.

Losing everything is a tragedy

Like the death of my friends.

Joyful Memories

Looking through the photos

Of our friendship trips

Was extremely bittersweet.

We rarely have time for these vacations

And it rips my heart out of my chest

That we never make time for them anymore.

Life has been full-on

But these photos still capture

The essence of our joyful memories.

Friendship

Friendship is something

Special and is tough to find

With the right person.

Bullet

It was a bullet

That tore me apart when you

Said goodbye that day.

Yearning

My heart yearns for

The love it received back then –

Now non-existent.

Missing my Friends

I used to see them every day

But since we parted ways

For our futures,

We have never been the same.

I miss them each more each day

And it pains my heart every passing second.

I am happy that we’re following our dreams

But I wish we didn’t lose contact

Over those four years.

Things would’ve been different today

But I’m still glad that I have those memories

To reminisce over every night.

We’re Royalty

Growing up, I loved playing ‘Princesses’

And being called someone’s princess

Made my heart flutter.

I enjoyed the endearment

And still do to this very day.

But I also realised

That everyone is a princess or prince

In their unique way

And that we’re all royalty.

Library

Browsing through books in

The library is always

Fun to explore through.

Trip to the Museum

Visiting the art museums

Are always such a blast!

I love exploring and learning about the works

And the masterpieces throughout history.

As an art student,

It is so fascinating to learn

About the history and meaning

Behind the works.

It is always a joy

To spend the day with my friends,

Lost in the wonderful works

Of the great artists before us.

Biscuits

Making biscuits is

Always a fun time for the

Kids when with their dad.

Childhood Books

Childhood books are always a joy to read

Especially when going back in time

To see what I grew up with.

I love reading the early novellas

And simple but effective picture books

To fill my time.

It is always nostalgic

And extremely fun to take a trip

Down memory lane with my childhood books.

Search

Looking through my closet,

I am on the hunt for a dress.

One of my favourite dresses to wear

On special occasions and events.

But now, it’s lost within the depths

Of my closet

Where everything is organised,

Yet it has vanished from the world.

Travelling

Travelling to other countries

That I am interested and fascinated by

Is always a joy.

I love learning about my world

And getting to connect with others.

It is so much fun!

Travelling is a gift

And I am thankful to explore

My grand home.

Improving my Writing

Developing my writing skills

Has been a whirlwind of a journey.

I have learnt the “right” and “wrong” ways

Of doing things in my work

But I continue improving each day.

I enjoy crafting characters and storylines

As well as expressing myself through poetry.

I love learning about my craft

And strengthening my creativity.

I am inspired and motivated to learn,

Create, and explore through words

As it is what I love best.

Languages

Growing up, I always loved learning languages.

I enjoy writing, speaking, and listening

In other languages other than English

And exploring other cultures in our vast world.

I have always been fascinated

By how we connect with language

But also, how it keeps us apart.

It’s a bittersweet thing honestly.

I remember wanting to learn how to speak

All the languages of the world

But I am still happy with knowing a few of

The languages I have been taught.

Moments

Moments like these are

Special to my heart as they

Are held close to me.

Family Days

Thinking about our fun family days

Always brings a smile to my face.

I love spending time

With my husband and kids

And I will always treasure these memories

Because they’re all I’ve got.

Forgotten

Tears attacked my eyes

When I saw you with her.

We were separated for four months

And you showed no sign of boredom.

But then, you were a different person

Almost like a shell of the person

I used to know

But still love as a whole.

You were no longer the same

Once you heard those words

That weren’t in truth

But in vain.

We acted like we never met,

Never like how we once were.

I felt forgotten by you

But you were constantly on my mind.

Browsing

Searching through stores,

I admire the pretty stitching, fabrics, and laces.

But none of them was the one I desired.

I searched high and low

For the perfect dress

To wear on my wedding day.

But alas, I still haven’t found “the one”

That will make me feel beautiful

On my special day.

Her Jewellery

Sorting through my jewellery box,

I found the dainty pearls and gems

That I loved to wear

On these special occasions.

I haven’t touched them in years.

The last time I wore a piece

Was before they parted ways

With my parents and me.

I held the delicate, elegant necklace

In my hand, before shaking

With tears that drowned my face.

His mother’s necklace…

I never thought that I would still

Have this piece especially

Because his mother tore us apart

By betraying our hearts.

Icy Splash

The icy splash of

Water signalled to my mind

That it was morning.

Problems

We all have problems.

Life was never made to be easy.

It was full of obstacles and challenges –

Something that can be discouraging.

We overcome these difficulties

With constant perseverance

And determination.

We learn from mistakes and push on.

Our issues make us stronger

And help us grow to be better people.

We learn from failure and succeed

With a sense of triumph.

Problems are just a part of life

And we learn to live and conquer them.

We are stronger and better

And continue to strive for the best.

Without You

Lying in bed up at night,

My mind whirls as I try to sleep.

The thoughts of you continue to pound

And rattle my brain

As I listen to the soundless night

And the screeching harmonies

Of my heartache.

Being without you has been insane

And it continues growing restless

Every passing second.

I am happy for you

But a part of me still wishes

You were mine.

It was always like that

Until the fateful day

When we had to live without each other.

Teardrops

Crying as I try to work out

A heartbreaking assignment

For my English Extension class.

Writing a poem based on my heartbreak.

Jotting my emotions and thoughts,

They swirled around in my mind,

Prancing and traumatising me

As I breathed them out.

This was too painful.

I couldn’t do this.

Tears flooded my eyes

And I felt my mind implode

As my feelings crashed within.

“It’s just a poem.”

Closing my eyes,

The words flow out – I’m heartbroken.

Pain

My heart yearns for

You even if you pain me

With surreal heartache.

Mistake

I didn’t know how to feel

When everything came crashing down.

I didn’t know what to do

When I lost my life source.

I didn’t know how to react

When he said those words.

I didn’t know how much he meant

Before I lost him.

I didn’t know how to breathe

When he was gone.

I didn’t know how to function

When he was with her.

I didn’t know how to react

When we were done.

I didn’t know how much he meant

Before I lost him.

White Roses

A white rose is my

Favourite type because their

Innocence is pure.

Royalty

Spending time with him

Always made me feel like royalty.

I was his princess

And he was my prince.

No one could replace

Either one of us

In our royal hearts

And our royal minds.

We were each other’s crown

And each other’s guard.

I was his princess

And he was my prince.

Waiting

Counting down the days

Until my friend’s birthday

Felt exhilaratingly nerve-wracking.

I loved spoiling, celebrating, honouring her

Just like she did for me.

Our birthdays were always our excuses

To spend our energy, time, and money

On each other

Because we couldn’t feel as guilty.

Waiting three hundred and sixty-five days

Felt like doing a chore

But it was always worth it.

Damaged

The fear surrounds me,

Capturing and holding my heart

In a rush of anxiety.

Hearing those frightful words,

Ones I have not heard in four years,

Tore my heart out of my chest.

I did not think how badly

You would have taken those words to heart

When I could not care less.

I knew you were mine

And that I was yours

But things changed in an instant.

Now we long for our past.

A past we can never escape

Because it was ours before the damage occurred.

Sunshine

Waking up to the morning sunshine

Is what I find the closest to mine

Especially when everyone is sleeping

In a peaceful bliss.

Peace

The quiet of the morning

Revels around me.

The tranquillity of the morning

Before the day begins

Will always be a joy

For me to savour.

The peace of the morning

Revels around me joyfully.

Memories

You are no longer here with me

But our memories are forever here.

They remind me of our times together

And how much I love you and you love me.

You are my everything.

Losing you is still hard to accept

But I know that you are happy and healthy

Up in your world, wherever that may be.

I still love you and will forever treasure our memories together.

You are still my everything.

Love and Happiness

My heart fills with great

Love and happiness as I

See the ones I love.

A New Year

The new year comes around

And my heart fills with love.

I am so grateful to see

My family and friends with me.

The year has been a long, wild ride –

One I will never forget like the tide.

I cannot wait to see what the new year brings

But I know that I will accept it with pride.

Christmas 2021

The year goes by in a flash

And soon we all gather

With our family, friends, and loves

To celebrate the gift of joy.

The night ends in laughter,

The day full of merry,

Never ceasing the endless celebrations

Of Christmas Day.

So, it’s time to shout hooray

And celebrate the day.

Enjoy the rest of the year.

Merry Christmas!

Anniversary 2021

This is the second anniversary of Issy’s Writing Wonderland. It is still so surreal to think that I have been working on this website for over two years. Over these past two years, I have been overjoyed and extremely happy with each post and everything along the way. I treasured the tears, smiles, giggles, et cetera along the way and seeing the way each post is received is extraordinary. Thank you so much!

Throughout these past two years with Issy’s Writing Wonderland, I have furthered my poetry writing skills as well as my creative muscle. My short stories have improved, and my writing has evolved marvellously. I have had the joy of experiencing challenges as well as finding ways to stoke the creative flame and keep myself motivated. I am grateful for everything I have accomplished, and I cannot believe how far we have come.

Last year on my anniversary date, we have accumulated seventy-three in our welcoming and friendly writing community. This time, we have two hundred and thirty-seven followers in total. I am so blessed for every one of you. I am thankful for your patience and generosity in reading my poems and stories as well as engaging with the specials. I love reading your comments and creating new works to fill your heart’s content.

At the beginning of this year, I was unsure. I had created a massive plan, but it was excessive. I am so happy to create all this content and enhance my writing as well as furthered my growth. Your enjoyment is well received, and I am ecstatic each time I upload something new. My hopes are blossoming with each post, and it is a wonderful feeling.

Last year, we hit a hundred followers and we hit two hundred at the start of this year. I have a slightly ambitious goal of hitting three hundred followers before the year ends. I am extremely thankful, and I cannot wait to see what next year brings. As I write this, my heart is full of joy, happiness, and thankfulness. Thank you so much for reading, commenting, liking, et cetera. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

(I feel like each year’s anniversary post will be getting longer and longer. Hehe.)

I love you all so much. May the rest of the year be epic.

So, why don’t you join me in my adventure?

Until next time, stay positive, work hard, and make it happen!

~Issy Juanita

Birthday 2021

Two thousand and twenty-one… What a year it has been! I never expected to pass over two hundred followers before we hit my birthday, but I was surprised, just like how I did not expect the joy and interest received this year.

I am so thankful for each one of you and this birthday has felt magical. Instead of doing a year in review like last year, I will be telling you my best moments, accomplishments, joys, and favourites (all topics) between December of two thousand and twenty and November of two thousand and twenty-one. It was a crazy journey, that is for sure.

My best moments were a whirlwind of emotions. I had a great end to the year of two thousand and twenty and I could not wait for the new year to arrive. I enjoyed starting little challenges (some which I completed and others which I stopped) in January and learning more about my writing and creative energies. I got to talk and spend a lot of time with my friends and made some new friends too. Another interesting moment was the lockdown that felt endless, but it was surprisingly both good and bad. I enjoyed spending time at home, but it was getting a little tough not seeing my friends and other family members. I also participated in numerous activities that brought smiles and won some competitions with my friends as well. I explored other creative mediums and forms of expression which was such fun. I also brainstormed more poetry ideas and planned a few books that I cannot wait to start writing. Overall, those were my best moments, and I am so happy to have experienced them even in ridiculously tough times.

My accomplishments of this timeframe vary between a scale of being big and small. I managed to do exceptionally well in my schoolwork while balancing my hectic uploading schedule for the year. I also reassessed what was working and not working for me and removed quite a few things that were just taking up extra time. I enhanced my writing to the best it has been to date and read books that I love and cherish (more to discuss later). Another accomplishment that I am extremely proud of was learning how to prioritise and how to deal with stress effectively. I also experienced new things which are always something good and learnt more about my writing abilities. I made many friends this year, as mentioned above, and expanded my knowledge in random subject areas with my friends. All in all, I did well in my life, education, relationships, and much more.

The joys and highlights of this year were at the beginning and end of the timeframe. During December, January, and February, I had tons of fun with my family and friends. I also got to experience life as normally as we could, and it was a blessing. I loved getting ready for the school year of two thousand and twenty-one as well as sharing learning experiences with my friends in my classes. Towards October and November, I spent time with close ones and other special people in my life. It was so nice to see them after months of lockdown. We also explored and experienced more joys together as we were segregating in our cohorts during the breaks and managed to do a bunch of silly and crazy things. We shared many smiles and laughs as well as conversations and way too many boring things from our time at home. Hehe, everything was a perfect conversation topic after being stuck at home.

My favourites of the year range from a variety of things. I found new music which is now one of my all-time favourites to chill and work to as well as read many books that brought tears to my eyes or left an impact on my soul. These books were such a joy to read and only grew my love of historical fiction. I watched my favourite movies and shows throughout my time at home and discovered apps (old and new) that have a permanent place in my heart now. There were also favourite foods and drinks (non-alcoholic, of course) involved as well as games and traditions which I dearly missed. I also made some of my favourite memories with my friends and family.

This year has been so special and wonderful. I still cannot believe that I have such a beautiful and strong community that I love and cherish with all my heart. I have learnt to never take things for granted especially since May of two thousand and twenty-one. I am forever grateful for your continued support and engagement with my writing. I love doing this and I can never imagine not sharing my work in some way or form with others.

Thank you all for liking, commenting, reading, sharing, et cetera. It means the world to me, and I can never express my thanks to you. You have helped me become the writer I am today and thank you so much for sticking with me on my writing journey.

I love you all so much. May the rest of the year be epic.

So, why don’t you join me in my adventure?

Until next time, stay positive, work hard, and make it happen!

To You

I’ve never felt this way before,
But something about the way you talk,
It was so different from before,
Like you didn’t even know how to walk.
But whenever she is around,
You stumble on the words that never leave your mouth. 
Your eyes follow her around
While I start to feel like I’m going south. 

My heart begins to break apart 
Because I think that you like her. 
I’ll never admit how I feel about
The way you always talk about her. 

But I don’t get why I feel this way,
Especially when I don’t like you that way. 
Why do I feel like she’s more to you
Than I have ever been before to you?

Whenever I walk home alone,
I’m reminded of how we used to joke. 
But now I feel like I’m alone
And my tears always make me want to choke.
But whenever she is around,
You stumble on the words that never leave your mouth.
Your eyes still follow her around
While I know that I am going south.

My heart continues to break apart 
Because I know that you like her.
I’ll never admit how I feel about
The way you always talk about her.

But I don’t get why I feel this way,
Especially when I don’t like you that way.
Why do I feel like she’s more to you
Than I have ever been before to you?

Deep down I still don’t understand
Why I feel like that when you talk to her.
Maybe I’m just a little lost?
But I will admit that I like you too.

Taken You Away – Boy’s Perspective

 I haven’t seen you around for a while. 
 You seem to be so far away. 
 I can’t help but feel real bad
 Yet I don’t know why I feel bad. 
  
 I know your heart is breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her,
 I know your heart is breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her... 
  
 I can’t help but feel the guilt. 
 She’s taken me away from you. 
 Your heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because she’s taken me away. 
  
 I’ve noticed that you’re breaking apart
 From the way you’re looking at her. 
 The guilt tightens at my heart
 And I can’t help but feel bad. 
  
 I know your heart is breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her,
 I know your heart is breaking apart 
 Because I’m hanging out with her...
  
 I can’t help but feel the guilt. 
 She’s taken me away from you. 
 Your heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because she’s taken me away. 
  
 I’m sorry that I didn’t know. 
 I’m sorry I’m too blind to see. 
 I’m sorry that I didn’t know. 
 I’m sorry I’m too blind to see. 
  
 Your heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her. 
 You are slowly fading away
 Because I’m hanging out with her. 
  

Taken You Away – Duet

Taken You Away – Girl’s Perspective

Taken You Away – Girl’s Perspective

 I see you walk away with her. 
 I see you laughing with her. 
 I can’t help but hate her
 Yet I don’t know why I hate her. 
  
 My heart begins to break apart 
 Because you’re hanging out with her,
 My heart begins to break apart
 Because you’re hanging out with her...
  
 I can’t help but feel jealous of her. 
 She’s taken you away from me. 
 My heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because she’s taken you away. 
  
 My heart begins to break apart
 Because you’re hanging out with her,
 My heart begins to break apart
 Because you’re hanging out with her...
  
 I can’t help but feel jealous of her. 
 She’s taken you away from me. 
 My heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because she’s taken you away. 
  
 I’m sorry I’m jealous of her. 
 I’m sorry I envy her. 
 I’m sorry I’m jealous of her. 
 I’m sorry I envy her. 
  
 My heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because you’re hanging out with her. 
 I feel that I have lost you
 Because you’re hanging out with her. 
  

Taken You Away – Duet

Taken You Away – Boy’s Perspective

Taken You Away – Duet

 I see you walk away with her. 
 I see you laughing with her. 
 I can’t help but hate her
 Yet I don’t know why I hate her. 
  
 My heart begins to break apart
 Because you’re hanging out with her,
 My heart begins to break apart 
 Because you’re hanging out with her...
  
 I can’t help but feel jealous of her. 
 She’s taken you away from me. 
 My heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because she’s taken you away. 
  
 I’ve noticed that you’re breaking apart
 From the way you’re looking at her. 
 I can’t help but feel bad
 Yet I don’t know why I feel bad. 
  
 I know your heart is breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her,
 I know your heart is breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her...
  
 I can’t help but feel the guilt. 
 She’s taken me away from you. 
 Your heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because she’s taken me away. 
  
 I’m sorry I’m jealous of her. 
 I’m sorry I’m too blind to see. 
 I’m sorry I’m jealous of her.
 I’m sorry I’m too blind to see. 
  
 My heart is slowly breaking apart
 Because I’m hanging out with her. 
 I feel that I have lost you
 Because I’m hanging out with her. 
  

Taken You Away – Girl’s Perspective

Taken You Away – Boy’s Perspective

Jealous

 I see you walking with her. 
 The quiet laughter - I wonder. 
 Sometimes I feel invisible,
 No longer feeling invincible.  

 It’s like your attention is all on her. 
 It’s like your focus is never leaving her. 
 Sometimes you don’t know I’m alive
 Because you’re busy staring at her eyes.  

 I feel so alone 
 With nowhere to go. 
 I lost my brother
 When they’re alone. 
 Sometimes I wonder
 If he’ll be back
 Since he’s gone
 All night long.  

 But now I think I’m starting to get jealous
 Because he’s spending all his time with her. 
 I feel like I no longer matter at all
 Because he’s spending all his time with her.  

 I see you walking with her. 
 The quiet laughter - I wonder. 
 Sometimes I feel invisible,
 No longer feeling invincible.  

 It’s like your attention is all on her. 
 It’s like your focus is never leaving her. 
 You still forget that I’m alive
 Because you’re busy staring at her eyes.  

 I feel so alone 
 With nowhere to go. 
 I lost my brother
 When they’re alone. 
 Sometimes I wonder
 If he’ll be back
 Since he’s gone
 All night long.  

 But now I think I’m starting to get jealous
 Because he’s spending all his time with her. 
 I feel like I no longer matter at all
 Because he’s spending all his time with her.
 
 Jealous...
 Jealous...
 Jealous...
 Jealous... 

 Jealous...
 Jealous...
 Jealous...
 Jealous... 

 But now I think I’m starting to get jealous
 Because he’s spending all his time with her. 
 I feel like I no longer matter at all
 Because he’s spending all his time with her. 
 But now I think I’m starting to get jealous
 Because he’s never at home. 
 I feel like I have disappeared 
 Because he’s never at home.  

 But now I think I’m starting to get jealous
 Because he’s spending all his time with her. 
 I think that I have vanished from the world
 Because he’s never at home. 

R U OK? 2021

Problems are a part of life

But they can be more than an obstacle.

Keeping things to yourself

Can cause more damage than help.

It is always tough to deal with something hard

But talking it out with others

Can alleviate the burden on your shoulders.

You can always start a conversation before it’s too late.

You’re never alone.

Never think that.

Because you matter.

You made a difference to the world.

Daddy’s Special Day

It is that time of year

When I get to celebrate with my daddy.

I am so excited for this year,

Preparing sentimental gifts

With the things that make him smile.

I am so thankful for my daddy

And I love him very much for all he’s done.

He is the best and I am forever grateful.

So, on this special day,

Remember to tell your daddy

How much he means to you.

I love you, daddy.

The Joy of Winter

The cool season,

My favourite season,

Reminds me of all the memories that I have

From our times together.

I adore remembering everything we have done

When we were going out

Because I will forever remember

That special day.

Something about winter

Just brings about joy to me.

I cannot imagine my life without this ever occurring

Even if I know it could be in my imagination.

My favourite season has always been winter

Which was quite a surprise at first,

But now, I can see why.

I can see how it all fits like a jigsaw puzzle.

Memories have always meant more to me than anything else

So, knowing that I have this memory of you,

Makes my winter all the better.

It was magical!

The glistening snow,

The shine of the diamond heart necklace,

The pearly white smile on your face –

Everything reminded me of the perfect winter – the winter I became yours.

My Happy Days

Whenever I am in a bad mood,

I recall all my happy memories.

Whenever I am in a bad mood,

I recall all my happy moments.

When things get rough,

I remember my favourite things.

When things get rough,

I remember my favourite activities.

When life is bad,

I remember my friends.

When life is bad,

I remember my family.

My happy days will always help me

Whenever something negative is going down.

I can also bounce back with the support

Of my happy days.

Nature

The children all engaged with nature outdoors.

It has been years since I felt that free.

I begin to reminisce about those times

But find me missing the freedom in life more.

It was such a monumental time in my life

But now, it’s gone.

I wish that I could find free time in my hectic schedule nowadays

But that would be a dream in itself.

Sometimes I wonder if I could find time to go on a walk in the great outdoors

Or even a hike.

However, I can only ever head to the gym for a quick HIIT workout

Before running back to my office.

Life has been crazier since I was a child.

I miss those simple days

But I would only change one thing in my life now

And that is to be in the great outdoors once again.

Bees

When it is spring, the

Buzzing bees remind me of

My favourite time.

Hidden Behind a Screen

Click, click, click.

Words flowing through

And crashing and smashing someone’s heart.

But, how would you know?

How would you know if you’re destroying,

Killing or hurting someone?

How would you know?

How would you know?

Words are knives.

Comments are wounds.

Click, click, click.

But, how would you know?

Click, click, click.

Words flowing through

And is destroying and breaking

A heart in the dark.

How would you know if you’re destroying,

Killing or hurting someone?

How would you know?

How would you know?

World Environment Day 2021

The world is home and

We respect and care for our

Biodiversity.

I Will Always Miss You

Seeing those pictures

Of when we spend time together

Will always fill my heart with happy memories,

Moments, and joys.

Every night before I fall asleep,

I treasure the sound of your voice

As it reminds me that I am yours

And you are mine.

Every day when I wake up,

I treasure the sight of your “good morning” texts

As it enforces the feeling that I am yours

And you are mine.

When you wait for someone for eleven years,

You could have someone else in your heart.

But you always wait for me

And never complain about the time passing by.

Even when those eleven years

Could have a special memory of us,

The fact that you would wait for me

Is an honest loving memory.

Even if we are now together at last

I will always miss you as I have for the many years

That we wait for each other in the end

Because we will always love each other until we die in each other’s arms.

Letting You Go

Life was never built to be easy.

But this life is the only one that I know.

I know that what I’m doing is right,

But I’m scared to hurt you in the process.

I’m sorry if I did hurt you.

But I couldn’t bear the pain

That took over me

From trying to protect you.

It hurts me to think

That what could have been

Will never occur at all

Because of me…

I have to respect your boundaries

And stop trying to save the day

Because in reality,

That’s never possible.

So, in conclusion,

I have to let you go

Even if it pains me

You’re better off with her.

Breaking

The glass shattering beneath the floor

Sends a painful strike up my heart.

The vase from you

Is now split upon the floor.

The sound of the glass cracking on the countertop

Paralyses me with a painful sting.

Of all the wedding gifts, the rose teacups

Are now split upon the floor.

The sound of the glass colliding onto the tiles

Deadens me with a painful hit.

The diamond ring from you

Is now split upon the tiles.

The glass tumbling down the stairs

Propels a painful prick through my heart.

The picture frames that hold precious memories

Are now split upon the floor.

Everything in this relationship

Is breaking apart.

Regardless of whether we like it or not,

We need to let go.

The sound of glass shattering, cracking, colliding, tumbling

All send paralysing strikes, stings, hits, and pricks through my heart.

I know that this is not the end because you will find someone else

Who will love you as much as I do.

Hurting Inside

The pain inside

Begins to fluctuate

As it increases and decreases

Each time you walk by.

I feel an endless amount of guilt

Plague me against the wall,

Trapping me from escaping back into his arms

Where I feel safe and secure.

I hate the fact that you are stealing him away

Because that is the hardest thing for me to see.

Best friends who fight over one boy

Just because they have a dispute…

Life is beginning to turn me inside out

And it’s only the start.

I cannot believe the harsh consequences that are coming alive

Which the both of us are placing upon ourselves.

It is an absurd idea to even think

That this friendship is going to make a comeback

Because when this is all over,

So will be our friendship.

Life is always harsh to us both

With the immensely crazy history between us.

Our friendship is the turning point

But now, it seems like the endpoint.

I am crumbling inside.

I am breaking inside.

I am hurting inside.

I am dying inside.

Our friendship is a stone,

One that keeps us up and running

And not on the ground.

But, it’s dying now.

I still cannot believe that our friendship

One that is from hurt, manipulation, deceiving tricks, pain, and more

Couldn’t even survive the piercing blow

Of losing the boy you love to me.

Painful Words

The sting of your words

Throws me off.

I never could believe

That you would say

Those painfully striking words

Ever to me.

Now I kind of wonder

If you even believe

Those previous words

You say to me

Every morning and night

Before I leave.

In the night,

The intense pain attacks me again.

I wish that the truth is easier to bear.

But that is not how it works.

The truth will hurt you.

The truth will pain you.

The truth will sting you.

The truth will perish you.

The sting of your words

Throws me off.

I never could believe

That you would say

Those painfully striking words

Ever to me.

But the truth is out

And the truth hurts.

Losing You

The intense squeeze

Is the last I remember

Because the presence

Is no longer here.

Repeating the past

Is an exhausting task.

I cannot stand to fathom

Recalling all the previous times.

The worry I feel at night

Is immeasurable to the pain in my heart.

Losing you is like losing a puzzle piece.

Another missing piece of me and the puzzle.

I hope that you feel happier with her

Because I could never give you what you desire.

Sometimes, I regret that

But other times, I don’t.

I miss you still,

But losing you is a lesson,

A blessing, an experience.

Losing you is my change.

Remembering You

The photos on my shelf

Will forever remind me of you.

If I try to ignore it,

The photos always find a way to remind me of you.

I sometimes walk by and avoid looking at them

But the photos always win.

I sometimes mentally curse myself because I always give in,

Allowing the photos to win.

Every morning, I sit in front of the photos

And let our memories wash over.

Every night, I sit in front of the photos

And let our cuddles protect me.

I still miss you

And the grief of losing you will never ever leave me.

No one can never fill the void in my heart

In the shape of you because they are not you.

I will forever love you

And cherish all our times together.

But you are in a better place now

And one day I will reunite with you again

And these photos will stop winning

Because I will be with you

And nothing can ever ruin that.

Nothing can ever ruin our relationship when we are together.

The Loss of Happiness

The joy fades

With the never leaving impression

That something is missing.

My happiness…

I sometimes search for it daily with the hope

That one day it’ll find its way back to me.

But it never does.

My happiness…

The emptiness I feel

Is deepening the void

That is there without the missing thing filling it.

My happiness…

In the night,

I feel the opposite control me,

Making me forget about the other side.

My happiness…

The joy fades

With the never leaving impression

That something is missing.

My happiness…

The Scar of a Diamond

The sight of the diamond

Scars my heart.

Sometimes I choose this trail

Because it is your favourite too.

However, I end up regretting it

Mostly due to seeing her.

Her happiness drains my soul

As I remember how it is us

That are so happy together

With no disruptions from the universe.

Those memories always rush back at me

Whenever I walk along our favourite trail.

I bet you tell her that too.

Some days I wonder if you know

That I am there.

On the same trail that you walk on each day.

You point towards the water

And I remember you telling me the exact thing.

“This is the place I feel the most peace at.”

I will always remember those words.

Always.

I walk around the water a few more times than usual

In hopes that it would bring me closer to you.

That is all I hope for.

But now, I choose this trail for a different reason.

I know that you’re with her

And I could never change that.

I choose this trail because of the memories.

Not the bad memories

Of seeing you with her.

No, the good memories

Of us when we walk around the water

Talking, laughing, embracing.

Nothing can take those memories from me.

Not even her.

But, the scar of her diamond

Reminds me of losing you.

I will never forget what it is like to be in your arms

And I will never forget the pain in my heart

That is forever a scar from her diamond.

Missing Fairytale

The dream flashes before my eyes

As I remember how our love

Is a fairytale.

But, now no more…

That is never in fairytales

But maybe because it is shut somewhere

Deep, deep down.

Our love is no more.

The fairytale ending

I am no longer able to see

Is now a distant memory

And dream flashing before my eyes.

I continue to go about my life

But something just feels weird.

Something feels strange, unusual,

Awkward…

It’s like a piece of me is missing.

It’s like a part of me is missing.

It’s like a fraction of me is missing.

It’s like a piece of me is missing.

Our pictures are nothing but a painting.

Our conversations are nothing but a recording.

Our nights are nothing but a fragment of time.

Our dates are nothing but a story.

The dream flashes before my eyes

As I remember how our love

Is a fairytale.

But, now no more.

That is never in fairytales

But maybe because it is shut somewhere

Deep, deep down.

Our love is no more…

Adapting

Change has always been something I never liked

And I doubt I would ever like it.

But I know that there’s no changing this

Because life is made for changes.

Life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs.

This was always how it was –

We have ups

And we have downs.

I know that I need to learn how to adapt

Even if it seems so hard.

Adapting is the only way to make it out

Of this never-ending spiral of life.

Adapting can be perceived as difficult

But once you work with life

And not against it,

Everything will begin to change.

Oh my gosh! I cannot believe what happened today. And today of all days too! Getting sick was the worst part of May for me so far and I just could not take it any longer. Since I was unable to attend school, I was stuck at home and let me say… That was horrible! I could feel my mind slipping away and draining. I hated it!

This morning, I had the most difficult time getting out of bed. It was strange enough not having to rush in the morning to get to school but it was even weirder that I was unable to feel my body. Everything felt broken. My day was so boring that I had to try and keep myself alive and not die of boredom. I kind of gave up on hope towards the end of April that I would never reach my goal of three hundred followers by the end of the year. But this. This has restored my faith in my website and myself.

I do not recall when I reached two hundred followers, but I do remember doing some report writing when I did. I am so sad that I am unable to celebrate this momentous occasion because I am sick and that is so disappointing. Sad! I was also mostly distracted throughout the day as well as I received my work from school but procrastinated on doing any. I was too perplexed to focus especially with my illness taking up over half of my brain and my connections taking up another quarter.

Let’s just say it was a struggle to get through the day.

I was so grateful to have this happen today because it turned one of the worst days into something spectacular. Sure, it had a bad start, but it ended merrily.

Like I said in my post when I reached one hundred followers, I wanted to be an author since I was eleven. I did extensive research and still am, but since then, I always wanted to do something that relates to writing. Or more specifically, creative writing.

If you have not noticed already, I have done a rebrand and I am so happy with how it is. I am so thankful for all of your support. Doing this rebrand was a tough decision. Not only was it going to be a lot of hard work, but it would also lose so much of my work along with it. I am thankful that the rebrand did not shake things up too much and if I am being honest, I love my upcycled brand way more than the first two.

Since the creation of Issy’s Writing Wonderland, I have created a community that shares a love of words. I am so grateful for every one of you who has read, listened, commented, liked, et cetera on one of my posts.

Thank you once again for two hundred followers. Here’s to another hundred to go!

I love you all so much. May the rest of the year be epic.

So, why don’t you join me in my adventure?

Until next time, stay positive, work hard, and make it happen!

Mummy’s Special Day

It is that time of year

When I get to celebrate with my mummy.

I am so excited for this year,

Preparing sentimental gifts

Full of things she loves

Such as cards, homemade presents, and breakfast in bed.

I am so thankful for my mummy

And I love her very much for all she’s done.

So, on this special day,

Remember to tell your mummy

How much she means to you.

I love you, mummy.

Happy Earth Day 2021

Growing up on Earth

Is a blessing I will remember until my death.

I am so thankful to be part

Of a loving community

Where our home comes first.

Just like us,

Earth suffers greatly too

And I will always treasure what I’ve learnt over the years

To help keep our planet safe.

It’s our only home as of now

As we continue exploring the Milky Way

So, we must act now

And care for our collective home.

We need to play our part

Because once it’s gone,

So is everything we’ve ever known…    

Oceans

The calm blue waters

That wrap around our coasts

Will only ever show

Its calm and peaceful exterior.

But what is really going on inside?

Something good or bad?

Something positive or negative?

Something constructive or destructive?

Nothing can ever hide the truth.

It will come out one day

Whether you like it or not.

The ocean is a representation of our emotions.

I Miss You

The pain in my heart

Will never suffice the hole you fill.

You are no longer here

To be my other half

Making me feel vulnerable,

Fragile, and hurt.

I am never going to be safe again

Because you’re no longer here.

I miss you every day

And yearn to feel you next to me every night.

I miss you more every second

And yearn to be next to you every hour.

Sometimes I wonder why we split

Because it seems like a wasteful thing.

Everything is perfect

Until those words escape your mouth.

Our connection is impenetrable.

Our connection is powerful.

Our connection is indestructible.

Our connection is everlasting…

Sometimes I still don’t understand

Why I agree

When I really don’t

Because it hurts too much.

Why do I agree?

Why do I agree?
Why do I agree?

Just why?

Every passing moment

Stings my heart

Like a bee

Reminding me of the pain.

I should say something

But I can’t fathom the words.

I should express my feelings

But I can’t fathom how.

I feel powerless.

I feel hopeless.

I feel useless.

I feel empty.

Why would I intervene?

If your happiness is my number one priority,

Shouldn’t I let you do whatever you desire

So that you’re still happy?

Every night I lie in bed

Wondering and questioning

Whether you’re happier or not.

Most nights I cannot sleep

And I wonder if my heart still needs you here.

It feels impossible

To ever repeat the past

Because I love you too much.

I still love you deeply and earnestly

Never forgetting to cherish our memories.

I wish that you are still here on days

When it feels like the whole world is against me.

Every day feels like a nightmare.

A never-ending nightmare.

It encapsulates my mind and heart

Where nothing can penetrate through.

I sometimes sit still,

Remembering all the wonderful memories.

It is calming

Yet it hurts me too calmly.

It is like my shield will never stand strong

As it needs another piece

To forever glue it back

And restore its full glory.

The birds still sing their songs

Even when I desire peace.

They remind me that I’m now alone

And that we will never be again.

I feel tears prick my eyes

As the memories wash through my mind.

The gently glide down my cheeks

As the memories play in my mind.

I allow my emotions to escape,

Freeing myself from eternal pain.

But, it is not easy.

It is not simple.

I remind myself that not everything in life stays

But when I lose something precious,

Special, and important to me…

It is way harder to comprehend.

I still cry myself to sleep at night

Even if three months are no longer here.

I miss my love.

I miss my love…

It still hurts

With the ever growing pain

And never leaving hurt.

It still hurts.

Every time I stroll by our pictures

The torturing pain

Strikes my heart,

Dragging me to the depths of the ground.

The monster will never let me escape.

Never let me be happy, carefree, and alright ever again.

Inside the confines, I struggle to wriggle free

As the chains tighten every move.

I feel so out of place without you.

My guide is no longer here with me.

My angel is no longer here with me.

My love is no longer here with me.

On days, I feel like I have no heart.

I become ruthless,

Never caring about anyone else

Because of the pain in my heart.

The excruciating pain that is growing,

Simmering,

Cooking.

The excruciating pain from you.

Now I wonder if there is anything

Still for me.

The world is turning me back

And I wish that you aren’t the answer.

But, you are.

You are the answer.

I don’t think that is the best though

Because I see you two together and everything crumbles inside.

It still hurts

With the ever-growing pain

And never leaving hurt.

It still hurts.

So, now I think I should try.

Try and move on.

Try and flow with change.

Try and explore new possibilities.

I know you won’t always be there.

I know you won’t always love me.

I know you won’t always embrace me.

I know that you will one day find someone new.

And that day is here.

It is here

Whether I like it or not.

I’m happy for you

But the pain in my heart

Makes it concealable.

I won’t be jealous of her.

I will be happy for her.

The pain in my heart

Will never suffice the hole you fill.

You are no longer here

To be my other half

Making me feel vulnerable,

Fragile, and hurt.

I am never going to be safe again

Because you’re no longer here…

No Matter What

I send my gaze that way and what do I see?
A painful sight that rips my heart apart. 
I’ll never tell you what pain I feel
Because we are no longer that close. 

But in what world would I not care about you?
No matter how close we are or not,
You’ll always be my friend no matter what,
Despite everything that’s pushed us apart. 

I see you’re happier when you’re with them
Even if it is so hard for me. 
I’ll never tell you what pain I feel
Because we are no longer that close. 

But in what world would I not care about you?
No matter how close we are or not,
You’ll always be my friend no matter what,
Despite everything that’s pushed us apart. 

But in the end, I still care about you. 
Even if we’re no longer friends,
You’ll always be my friend no matter what,
Despite everything that’s pushed us apart.

String

The endless pain tears my heart
As I wonder what we’ve done so wrong. 
The endless guilt eats me up
As I try to write it out in this song. 

I feel my heart begin to break apart 
As you wander back into my thoughts. 
You’ll never know what pain you’ve put me through
As I try and try to move on from you. 

But in what world would you care about me
When I meant nothing to you in this world?
I know you’ll find somebody else to string
But I hope you don’t treat her the same as me. 

The endless hurt still eats me up
Every night as I try to fall asleep. 
You’ll never know how much it hurts 
To sing this while it’s still so deep. 

I feel my heart begin to break apart 
As you wander back into my thoughts. 
You’ll never know what pain you’ve put me through
As I try and try to move on from you. 

But in what world would you care about me
When I meant nothing to you in this world?
I know you’ll find somebody else to string
But I hope you don’t treat her the same as me. 

But in the end, why should I care
When I meant nothing to you all that time?
I know you’ve found somebody else
But I hope you treat her right this time.

Pictures

Do you still remember all those years ago
When we were younger and carefree?
I still remember all our memories
But do you still remember us?

It’s been so long since I last saw you
But seeing you with her today
Makes me sad but happy as well. 
I hope you’ve found the one you’re looking for. 

All the pictures in our photo book 
Remind me of our good times. 
I know that it didn’t last that long
But my heart still loves you. 

Do you still remember the nighttime walks
When we gazed upon the stars above?
You always seemed to make me smile
But do you still remember us?

It’s been so long since I last saw you
But seeing you with her today
Makes me sad but happy as well. 
I hope you’ve found the one you’re looking for. 

All the pictures in our photo book 
Remind me of our good times. 
I know that it didn’t last that long
But my heart still loves you.

A Sight

Every time I look that way,
I see a sight I can’t replace.
Even if I try so hard,
I see a sight I can’t replace.
I feel my heart slowly break apart
From a sight I can’t ignore.
No matter how hard I try
I still see a sight I can’t ignore...

Our friendship broke apart -
Slowly but fast enough.
All those moments we yelled and screamed
Soon turned into small whispering...

Every time I look that way,
I see a sight I can’t replace.
Even if I try so hard,
I see a sight I can’t replace.
I feel my heart slowly break apart
From a sight I can’t ignore.
No matter how hard I try
I still see a sight I can’t ignore.

All our memories begin to fade.
Everything begins to blur.
Our vision is no longer the same.
Everything turns to grey...

Every time I look that way,
I see a sight I can’t replace.
Even if I try so hard,
I see a sight I can’t replace.
I feel my heart slowly break apart
From a sight I can’t ignore.
No matter how hard I try
I still see a sight I can’t ignore...

Break Apart

 The look in your eyes
 Reminds me of the good times.
 I wish that we didn’t fall apart
 Cause now it’s tearing at my heart.  

 The striking pain begins to elevate,
 The stinging pain too hard to calculate. 
 Now everything is crumbling
 All from one long single look.  

 I feel my heart begin to break apart
 Not knowing why I really care that much. 
 I broke it off long ago
 But now I want you in my heart.  

 The way you look at her
 Affects my heart. 
 I wish you were looking at me
 But I know that it’s not meant to be.  

 The striking pain begins to elevate,
 The stinging pain too hard to calculate. 
 Now everything is crumbling
 All from one long single look.  

 I feel my heart begin to break apart
 Not knowing why I really care that much. 
 I broke it off long ago
 But now I want you in my heart. 

 I feel my heart break apart. 
 I still don’t know why I care so much. 
 I broke it off long ago
 But I still want you in my heart.
