I Wanted to Live

I
i wanted to live
perhaps would always want it to remain as hopeful…
as blissful…as happy… each day
as i spent the little least of my time in this world…
II
i wanted to live
like i never tasted the bitterness of pain
i don’t want to slumber in my agony and sufferings
i will wake up with a smile so sweet to greet my morning
III
i wanted to live
believing that i am not alone
that i’m holding the hand that i longed for
that i am safe within the care of compassion
!V
i wanted to live
knowing that i will not fall and break
that i am on a pedestal with my glow
that i would never be lost again
V
i wanted to live
trusting that nothing can hurt me again
that i am protected with my faith
that i know you won’t ever let me down
VI
i wanted to live
loving the thoughts that you are there
caring and will be watching over me
that nothing else dares to make tears fall
VII
i wanted to live
longing the days that we used to be
when i have your eyes to mirror
when i am sure that i was holding you
VIII
i wanted to live
like i was never born to live without you
that i had been cared for in all my life
when i would feel the presence of your love
IX
i wanted to live
with the love that i’ve always wanted
to be just that last leaf to cling on the vine
i wanted to live though i know i will die
