Alone In The City 2: Under The Vermillion Streetlights

Nothing much there is to begin the telling
Of how things have not seen enough of changes since I got here
But here, and now, there is emptiness alas
As empty as I stare at these unforgiving streetlights
So bright yet so lifeless, so flooding yet so tearful
As easygoing winds flicker in and out through my consciousness
As I am one, but am I worth it to be alone?

Please, amass no more of your anxiety!
Bury them now someplace else far, far away and then leave this place!
I heard someone said
For there is no peace for you here if you keep on lingering
As heydays of your life now they came and went
And paydays are long, much too long away for you to wait for it here
As if you deserves the wait of this magnitude!

But leave not as a warrior who ran off the battlefield, another voice said
But leave just as graceful as a firefly under this unsympathetic streetlight
For we know that you are lonely, but not as lonely as to torture your life like this!
Please, for you already know how to go back home from here
Towards home that you may never knew how to go back to without the grace of God!

Leave, leave I say, and leave this cold town and never ever turn back
For there is enough of tears of people like you to have come and gone from this place
Much more than enough to paint the sky's face black with sadness
For here is not the place to mourn and bury your dreams
But rather a place to abandon all hope and live like a robot!

This is not the place for you my friend!
Your place is up there in the sky! Not of the earth!
Please, please no one else now
But poisoning yourself at the same time!
You are still left none by the ones who understood
What's in your own soul!

So please live like a light on a row full of darkness
For your motives are well understood by the ones
Who watches you from the sky above
Let not anyone stand in your way again my skysent love
For we are hear for you, and we are here for you!
Farewell...for now
