hope

Sometimes I sit at my window
Feel the breeze come in,
Look at the sparse lights and wonder
Will this ever end?
But the answer's the same as always
Yes, it will
As all things come to an end
With or without our will.
And then that makes me realise
How much I want us to last, 
That in the future years
We are not strangers who pass
Each other on the street, and smile for the sake of smiling
Greet for the sake of being polite and 
then ignore each other and continue on walking.

Mold

I feel your hands
Dragging me down
Your breath has my heart in a chokehold.


I want to escape 
I want to flee
You want me to break, but I fold.


Unbroken though I am
I am stretched too much
Wound from everywhere bleeding gold.


I don't know now
If you want me to break
Or want to shape me into your mold.
