Ay, Buhay by Anjel Cruz "oh what a tangled web we weave" leading the lives we live only to deceive i wish i could believe in god and love and light and the pain will subside and my heart will take flight and the sorrow will pass, and i will move on through heartbreak and anguish my love will stay strong but romance and passion aren't the topic of contemplation the search for a panacea to all problems would bring eternal elation why do the worst things happen to the best people and the best things to the worst? why does luck smile upon evil while leaving the angelic cursed? and as i stumble down the long and dusty road that you call life i feel the blade against my throat but i dont see the knife so god open my eyes to the true beauty of this journey torrents of smoke sting my eyes and vision become blurry what is my purpose in life? why am i here? because i feel like im at the beginning but i know the end is near the accumulation of days brings the accumulation of pain and once im clean of sorrow the cycle begins again first joy, then anger, and finally depression as i get lost in my own world and in another dimension and as i walk down this path, two sets of footprints trail me two roads, one decision. i close my soul and choose blindly and where the road may lead, only god himself knows the sun for shame will not his head show and as the seconds pass by, the darkness grows |
