A Man's Heart

Heart of a man with a soul of a beast,

Deep inside a man struggles to be free

To no avail it breaks in piece

Looking for someone who can please

Hear the people, see the world

Not to mention my heart that whirled

Thinking back and forth never get to learn

From beginning till now, it has always been my turn

One tick away from another

With no ways to recover

It moves relentlessly as man despair,

And yet he is still stuck there,

No face, no brain, nor talent,

Fake smiles and proper tears,

But those are not important,

As things have remained the same for so many years,

She and I were born under the same sky,

But we walked down through different paths,

It was destiny, when it crossed by,

That's when I thought of her, to be mine

A second has passed,

A second later,

Your image is still here,

As if you’re near

Where the waves meet the land I see your footprint of shoe,

That’s where I saw you,

‘I love you’ is what I sought to say,

But I’m afraid it will come back with just an okay,

A Man is what I am,

A Man is what I be,

Sad is all I feel,

And she is all I see,

A sudden appearance of her elegant sight before me with no times to delay,

I felt something strong deeply inside as never understood,

The awkward Silent moment without a single “hey”,

Thought of doing something not knowing how to,

With brave I step forward and say,

I love you.
