Death is calling my name/ He whispers sweet broken promises in my head/ He can be held accountable for my yearning to meet my demise/ Death is patiently waiting to take my heartbeats/ Death, however, did not tolerantly wait to cease yours/ He crept in and stole your innocent soul from me that night/ Being an optimist, I tell myself it is better to have loved and lost/ But this does not excuse Death for the heartbreak he caused/ He has left a scar that I am yet to recover from

She is the pearl in a clam/ She is very rare to find/ You better treat her well/ She has the most brilliant mind/ The beautiful hair she wears everyday/ People should thank her for her everlasting beauty/ If you don't, then you're not doing your duty/ I guess this is the end so I better say goodbye/ You should explore her beauty before you die/

I love you even when your curves are masked/ By the baby blue of the morning sky/ I loved you the night before and the past/ When you, the sun, the stars, and I align/ I'll love you tomorrow if I implode/ For with your love, I've already caved in/ I would sacrifice every single soul/ Your presence is worth a whole extinction/ I wish upon the stars that lie between/ To have a love that we can call our own/ Your iridescent glow always outshines/ The people that think of me as their home/ Of all the sights in the whole galaxy/ You are my world; the only one I see/

A girl and a boy, they had it all/ Boy let it slip, caused their relationship to fall/ He tried to fix it, but only made it worse/ Girl didn't listen, but instead set a curse/ She constantly ignored him/ It made only his life dim/ A girl and a boy, they had it all/ Boy never even made a call/ Girl took offense and called it over/ Boy couldn't believe he lost his four leaf clover/ He tried and tried, only to realize he truly had hurt her/ She called it a relationship murder/ A girl and a boy, they had it all/ After a while he finally stood tall/ Girl realized she needed him in her life/ He broke the curse using a knife/ Thats when they knew they needed each other in order to survive/ All the way until the end, the day that they die
