long-walk.


I was sixteen And with an open heart I did dream and fantasied alot I was loved and knew it I strolled to adulthood en route I fell in love and my imaginations widened I would lay awake all night Indeed "I knew I was in love because reality was finally better than my dreams". I would sit in my open world dreamily All set and good until reality interposed my imaginations My world fell and cracked open All sweetness spilled and left it's trail I still layed awake all nights Indeed "tears melts away like emotions heated" I wore a mask of painted roses A wig of feigned gardens And hoped the thorns don't pierce through I memorised our farewell like ABC Lend a lone applaude to every friendly stunt I pulled The hurt made me grow Yet I strolled to adulthood I wore my years like an inner wear And wrapped my heart like a forgotten souvenir They say "it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all" Indeed now I understand Heart breaks en route to adulthood.
