Chapter 8 : THE DIARY

__________

I could take it all,

those hard strokes of fate;

let them drown me,

let them pin me down,

I wouldn't flinch

as long as you're with me.

But without you,

my heartbeats would be for nothing;

it would be my greatest mistake,

it would be my greatest fall.

To bring you paradise,

I could have failed

because imperfect I was found;

from a wrong cup

I could have sipped,

for that I wished to be free

from all that I lacked.

It all I did

because I couldn't withstand

to see you drowning in my quicksand.

Yeah, I've wronged;

I drove you away all alone.

And because I don't know

when you'll be once again my own,

so I'll just let me sing

a sad song.
