The ground beneath my feet begins to crumble
I’m left with nothing to hold on to, null
I have to admit, I have lost the battle
You are there, so far away, unreachable
I say this, you say that, misunderstanding
Causing pain in the heart and soul, shattering
For what I’ve done, I’m blameful
The world is against me, my fight is extinguished
You have abandoned me, the one I cherished
Forget the pain and move on, as I mull
I’ve learned my lesson, time to rise again

I’m a fountain of blood
in the shape of a girl
my life is a tragedy or a ballad
I can be your pearl when I twirl
lost at first hole
rattling in the forgotten shell
not knowing my role
coming out of your spell
stretching my wings
time to leave your sight
(c) ladyleemanila
Glimpsed outside to freedom
Sunshine and light, is it all worth it?
Will I miss this place when I’m there?
When I reach there, will you be there, too?
And together we can explore beyond

Sing me a song that will give me craft
Day or night – I know I’m being missed
A fiery one that will repair my frame
Call me back and add a billow of hope
Another chance to say that I still exist
A fair amount of good-natured chaff
Lightning that flashes called sprite
Ladyleemanila – that’s my nickname
Write a letter and put it in an envelope
Vibrant colours in a range of kaleidoscope
All winter long the garden is cold and bare
With the coming of spring, everywhere is lovely
Trees unfold their leaves, flowers bloom with flair
Apples blossom, all white and pure with such beauty
And the smell of wonderful rain and freshly cut grass
Buds coming out, take time to smell the flowers
The nature, as pure as I commune
The splendour that awaits us
Enchanting as they blossom

A branch has fallen from the tree
And after some time moss has grown
Abandoned like when you left me
A branch has fallen from the tree
The world around me seems gloomy
Grey or black, somewhat monotone
A branch has fallen from the tree
And after some time moss has grown*
