in my innocence 
i imagined
a beautiful world outside
of bright lights that glitter
far into the night
a wonderous sight
filled with endless pleasure
food, drinks and leisure
until i saw the ugly shadows
lurking behind the smiles
on the faces
of those who hatch evil
in their hearts
scheming to take away
my hard-earned relief
from my toils in daily stress
with heaviness within
I yearned to return
to the home I left behind
only to find
it no longer existed
while I was away
her innocence was stolen
her young heart broken
her character defiled
her purity lost
that sweetness
gone sour
and I moved on
Believe you me, it looks exactly like my friend's house in Tg. Bungah too. Does 616N Tg. Bungah ring a bell? Ohhh those were the days my friend. But it still came to an end. BTW, the old is still standing amidst some rmabutan trees.
ReplyDeleteFriend, the last line has part of Tom Jones' old house... haha you swap oak tree for rambutan trees.
ReplyDelete616N is somewhere behind the Geok Sam Soo temple. An old friend of mine was at 616W. But he's migrated to Oz.
