Beyond The Oblivion

Beyond The Oblivion

by Jywell Buscato

As the shattered mirror Strikes the broken heart It bleeds by its horror It can't end without a start

The eyes sees nothing But a void within The touch held something Yet none sense between

The mirror tried mending its shards Even with a touch, it's weak and fragile As no flutes with no bards And no roads with no mile

No figures were in my observation Cause their hearts are soulless That is beyond the oblivion Of me being useless

Just Smile

Just Smile

by Jwell Buscato

The nights are cold

And the wind kept whistling

But truth be told

Their lives are worth saving

Their minds were poisoned

By their memories of the dark past

It's full of misery and depression

And their greatest moments will be their last

No,no,no, you're not ready

Your lives are terrible

But you have to keep it steady

Or it will be pricked by the needle

It's been a while

For you to do this

Just give a smile

To everyone you missed

Let Go

Let Go

By Dominic Ceballos

Every time I wake up,

I reach for a coffee in a cup,

Going through us.

From the memories we had,

Everything we did,

From the good and the bad.

I carry this weight with me,

Of you and me,

And I’m dying, still hurting.

Can you not see?

I guess you can’t,

From all the smiles on your face.

I was destroyed,

When you packed your suitcase.

When you looked back,

Only to say goodbye.

I was killed by the pain,

Said nothing but cried.

I’m tired of this hurting.

I’m ready to let you go.

Though I’m still wondering,

Are you a friend or foe?

But time will tell,

After I’m free.

And I am hoping

That you are ready to see

All the happiness I get,

And all you’ll feel is regret.
