Angels Cry

Should'nt have walked away
I would have stayed if you said
We could have made everything ok
But we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground

There was no melody as sweet as ours
We fit perfectly, like a hand in a glove
I would look at you and wonder is you were real
Always scared I would one day wake up
And there would be no You and Me
Now I live in that nightmare
And all I wish is to fall asleep and dream again
To play that sweet melody of You and Me

I could'nt have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Supernatural love conquers all
Remember we use to touch the sky
And lighting dont strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True love is a gift, but we let it drift in a storm
Everynight I feel the angels cry

Always thought we could make it through the storm
Now I'm like a shattered glass bottle
And, Oh does it cut like a knife
Ripping through my very soul
How could I have prepared myself for this
Now silence is terrible
And all I hear in my head, are the angels cry
But their cries and tears are not as bitter as mine

Limitless, omnipresent kind of love
Couldnt have guessed it would just up..
.. And disappear in a whirlwind
Here I am, walking on this narrow rope wobbling

But wont let go,waiting for a glimpse of the suns light
I know I can stand, just pull me back up

But there ain't no hurricane, its just us

Baby, we can get back that shine

A fallen soldier of love
Sitting in my little corner
Still nursing those terrible wounds
Wondering if they will ever heal
Wondering if I'll ever be the girl I used to be
You might be able to fix a broken bottle
But you can never fix the lines
Maybe if we fix us, I can fix me
For a melody like ours cannot be played by any other

And lighting dont strike the same place twice
When you and i said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True loves a gift but we let it drift in a storm
Everynight I feel the angels cry 


For a melody like ours cannot be replicated
And lightening doesn't strike the same place twice
And I'll never sing like that again
And I can never love like that again
And I want that lightening
I want those fireworks
Lets find that love again
Do you not hear the angels cry for us?

          
                                                  ..... Shels

~ Inspired by Mariah Carey's 'Angels Cry'.... I'm IN LOVE with that song!!!!

~ Does lightening really not strike the same place twice? lmao.. Well, even if it rarely does, I'm sure it strikes pretty darn close to it, so when you find yourself on the floor, do pick yourself up (don't wait for anyone to come pick you up, cos homie, you came to this world alone), and go find lightening, tell it to strike again, somewhere different, somewhere better, somewhere new... and if lightening wants to strike the same place twice, it can feel free to do that, because some things are just meant to be. ... but some things aren't.

~ FOR YOU, YANG... See, I came through for you after all. This is all yours, just for you and only you. Tx for being so wonderful. :D (ps. love the song n all, but yo, thats some pathetic ish. lol. what ever happened to getting it together?)

Tears in Heaven

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven

Will it be the same

If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong, and carry on

Cos I know, I don't belong

Here in heaven

Heaven

In your heaven

You've got me trapped

You, my master

Me, your slave

Infinite stupidity

The story of my life

I think about what we have

A pile of nothingness

I ask you, omnipotent one

I ask, who am I?

I ask, who are you?

I ask, what are we?

The silence speaks volumes

For I mean nothing

.. am nothing.. to you

Yet you trap me

In your heaven

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way, through night and day

Cos I know, I just can't stay

Here in Heaven

Promises

All empty

Empty barrel

Why do you remain silent?

When I ask, Omniscient one

Where are we heading?

Or why do you do the things you do?

I guess you feel no need for noise

Empty! Empty! Empty Barrel!

Yet you've got me trapped

In what I thought was heaven

Trapped in your web

An intricately woven web of bullshit

And though it stinks as hell

I'm trapped here in your heaven

Clearly a dilemma

For being trapped means suffocating

Being trapped means death

See, I just can't stay

I don't belong

Time can bring you down

Time can bend your knee

Time can break your heart

Have you begging please

Begging ... please ... 

For you I've shed many a tear

I've begged and I've pleaded

My knees are weak

My heart is bleeding

So out the door I go

I'll miss the laughter

I'll miss your touch

I'll miss the good stuff

But you have a wicked heart

In your heaven, I am nothing

For every smile, for every laugh

I cried ten times more

For every caress, for every kiss

You pushed me and crushed me

ten times more, ten times harder

So I cannot shed another tear

Not for you, or anybody

For I know

I don't belong

In this heaven

Beyond the door

There's peace I'm sure

And I know, there'll be no more

Tears in heaven

Yet its hard not to cry

When I'm not sure what exactly is outside

But it must be better than this hellish heaven

Outside heaven, there is light

Outside heaven, there is hope

The irony of it all

So I walk towards the door

Not looking back

Still teary eyed

Sad, yet hopeful

Angry as hell

Out of your heaven

Hope it gives you hell!

Cos I know, I don't belong

Here in heaven

And I know , there'll be no more

Tears in heaven

~ Inspired by Eric Clapton. Not quite sure this is what he had in mind though.

Nightingale: Small voice, Big Song.. Fly..

'I never thought we would end up here in separate cages. It doesn't go like this, you've left out some pages ... Hey, don't you know what it means, when I say Hey. See it in my face, I'm breaking. I'd waited for so long just to know, that you would have wrapped yourself around me if you could let go...  I never know what to do with my hands, so I'll put them behind my back ... behind my back .. put them behind my back' 

She is a nightingale

A nightingale with a small voice

A small voice but a big song

A big song she sang for only him

Him, the one she cherished so

So in his cage she remained

Remained and sang her song

Her song of promise and hope

Hope that everything was possible

Possible only if one sought to

But alas, eventually her song was painful

For the cage owner did not want her song

'Not now, not now', was what he said

'But why, but why', she asked confused

'Not ready, not ready', was his reply

Her spirits sunk, her knees ached

'I want you though, I really do', said he

'Oh no you don't, you're disillusioned', said she

For if he really did, he would at least try

Try because nothing was ever set in stone

‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
How to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
... She sang, in her small voice, her big song

And she wondered why he ever sang along to her tune

And she wondered why she ever sang along to his tune

And she wondered why she was still in his cage

His heart was heavy

Why did she not understand ...

You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how am I to know
How I'm going to hold on to you 

When I'm spinning out of control
You and I together

Her knees still bled

Feathers provided no warmth

She wondered if his words were an attempt

To put band aids on her wounds

Yet somehow they added insult to injury

How selfish of him to still want her in his cage

When he knew there was no point

So she decided to save herself, to save them

She spread her wings and kicked at the door

Poised for her flight, only to return when all was well

When scabs fall and wounds are healed

Her voice returns: small voice, big song

She would have forgotten her old song

She will sing a different tune

A song of friendship

She will find another in her former home

And she will smile, hoping this new bird

This new bird will not also have to fly away

Hope another bird helps him realize

That one works hard for what they really want

' I'm sorry I can't steal you, and I'm sorry I can't stay ...  I hope to find you are doing better, better than today, better everyday.'

You're not lost.

Heyya, here's another one by Michael Buble. Its very comforting, and yet somehow it makes you want to cry. I remember one time I was listening to it on the plane and I just started crying. It wasn't like I was sad or going through some emotional issues, or anything. Its just the song .. dunno how to explain it. I could just picture someone suffering and someone else walking up to them and giving them a hug. Now that's just sweet.

Here is the link: Lost

And here are the lyrics:

I can't believe it's over

I watched the whole thing fall

And I never saw the writing that was on the wall

If I'd only knew

The days were slipping past

That the good things never last

That you were crying

Summer turned to winter

And the snow it turned to rain

And the rain turned into tears upon your face

I hardly recognized the girl you are today

And god I hope it's not too late

It's not too late

'Cause you are not alone

I'm always there with you

And we'll get lost together

Till the light comes pouring through

'Cause when you feel like you're done

And the darkness has won

Babe, you're not lost

When your worlds crashing down

And you can't bear the thought

I said, babe, you're not lost

Life can show no mercy

It can tear your soul apart

It can make you feel like you've gone crazy

But you're not

Things have seem to changed

There's one thing that's still the same

In my heart you have remained

And we can fly fly fly away

'Cause you are not alone

And I am there with you

And we'll get lost together

Till the light comes pouring through

'Cause when you feel like you're done

And the darkness has won

Babe, you're not lost

When the world's crashing down

And you can not bear the cross

I said, baby, you're not lost

I said, baby, you're not lost

I said, baby, you're not lost

I said, baby, you're not lost

~ So I've been pretty sad lately, and as one of my friends put it, disinterested in life. Lol, to my friend who said i seem disinterested - Please far from it.. I like life paaaa!!! haha... But I know why am sad though. Its because I hate it when I can't be there for my friends when they need me, and it really bugs me. So this is for my friend, the person who I wish i was with at this very moment ---> You're not lost and you are not alone. So when the world is crushing down and you can bear the cross no more, just know u're not really alone. I know sometimes you may feel like though you're surrounded by 'friends', you're really alone (ok, i stole Beyonce's line, but she was speaking truth..cos i'm sure everyone has felt like that atleast once in their lives. If not then, ei, i need to meet you. lol). So when you ever feel down, just LOL. I mean there's a slight possibility that people will think you're mad, but u know me i don't judge..hehe. love u.

Amazing Grace

She lived a good life

Had a good run

Played her part in society

Gave life to others

Who in turn were a blessing as well

She was an inspiration

Indeed she served her purpose

Then it seemed that life dealt a cruel card

And oh did she fight

She fought a good fight

And won many battles

And as her time grew nearer

And the gates were opened

Beckoning her to a better place

She gracefully obeyed

It would be a shame to think

That she lost the fight

When she really is at a better place

Smiling down at you

Yes, shed those tears

For they serve as an outlet for the pain

But do not wallow in sadness and anguish

For she is smiling down at you

~ About the departed

    For my dear friends. (Though we may not always understand, in God we still trust.) Love U.

Joy instead of Melancholy

Blink

Blink

Blink

Though I try my hardest

I cannot fight the inevitable

Salty tears rolling down my cheeks

Memories

Memories

Memories

Of wonderful times we shared

Of a love so strong and so deep

Of the first man I ever loved

Regret

Regret

Regret

For I should have walked with you

I should have listened with you

Then maybe you wouldn't have walked that walk

Now I walk a different walk

On the boulevard of broken dreams

Pain

Pain

Pain

For how can one forget

How can one replace

What a way to make an exit

You really should have just kicked a bucket

I bet that would not have been fatal

Now I know what you would want

I know what needs to be done

I derive my strength from Someone stronger

On a mission to make you prouder

Though you never got to see me take the world by storm

You will always be in my heart

So though my heart is heavy laden

And responsibilities pile up

I taste the salty tears and smile

I'm happy

You're happy

We're happy

~ For Ricky

The plea of the tormented Ex

Stuck in a prison called Y.O.U

I'm feeling like a fool

Totally helpless

Completely Useless

Wanting to escape

Yet incapable of doing so

I want to be free

To spread my wings and fly

Yet you keep holding me back

With memories, emotions, actions ..

These I regret 

I wish to forget

I wish to let go

But that deadly force keeps me in chains

So I ask with a heavy heart

Save me the agony

For you have the key

Release me from Y-O-U

~ For the tormented ones

Cold Kisses

Cold stares

Cold kisses

Your heart is as cold as ice

I wonder when and where it happened

How you suddenly became so icy

Shooting daggers through my soul

A soul that thinks the world of you

With a heavy heart 

I walk out the door

Because if all you have to give

On this cold winter night

Is a kiss as cold as ice

Then i'd rather be kissed by snow

Just a poor soul

I've been told that I'm quite the heartbreaker

In fact some have called me just plain and unadulterated evil

Well I beg to differ!

That's quite harsh don't you think?

I'm just a wandering soul looking for some extra-curricular activities

A little grinding here and there

A little groping here and there

Maybe if i get lucky i will make a home run

But really just a kiss will do just fine

Actually, I'm feeling quite lucky tonight

No strings attached, no commitments

You call me your love, I call you my cuddy buddy

Don't get it twisted love is a beautiful thing

You love only one

I choose to love many

You saw another who claims I'm hers?

FYI, That's Anthony's wife!

I should look into your eyes and tell you the truth?

I'll tell you the truth alright

Truth is relative

Fine! I'll be honest

And while I'm at it, i'll say I'm sorry

So it seems we're back on track

Then you just had to bring that friend over

Options, options, how I love them!

Now I contemplate

Now I scheme

But don't blame me

For I'm only a poor soul looking for variety :-)

*** For my one and only, apple of my eye, simpOl dimpOl ..aka. I wish I could x0x0 every girl in the world. We are still getting married when I'm 30!! lol
