Lost
Alex Teng Aug 2019
I miss me
The old me
The bright me
The happy me
The laughing me
The smiling me
The gone me
The real me

Us

Us
It used to be us against the world,
Now it's just me.

Eye contact
Alex Teng Jul 2019
It's when we fall into slumber,
When we cry, when we remember,
Through the short times that we've shared,
For all the pain we compared,
It's when I looked you in the eyes,
It's when my heart couldn't lie,
For the hundredth of time,
You've hurt me inside,
I still can't let you down.

I don't
Alex Teng Jul 2019
I don't hate you, although I should.
But I'm grateful for what you did,
It made me stronger and happier.

Thank you,
Because of you,
I learned what I deserve and what I don't,
Between what I want and what I don't need,
Between who to love and who to let go.

Storm
Alex Teng Jul 2019
When you come out of the storm,
You won't be the same person who walked in,
That's what this storm is all about.

A real man
Alex Teng Jul 2019
A real man would never lies,
He may love you,
And yet still get attracted to another,
That's the truth.

Joke of the day
Alex Teng Jul 2019
There's *** without love,
Love without ***,
And there's you without both.
Jul 2019 · 349
Used to
Alex Teng Jul 2019
Used to have that motivation to wake up,
For the day to shine,
And for me to see you smile,
Now it's just back to mundane,
To the usual day to day life.

Feeling cheap
Alex Teng Jun 2019
You brought it upon yourself,
Should have expected the outcome,
Ain't not good enough to be love,
You are just another ****

Moments
Alex Teng Jun 2019
In life moments come and go,
Take a shot or you'll never know,
Your heart will tell you when it's time to move,
Ask yourself what you gotta lose.

Scribble
Alex Teng Jun 2019
When the moon is big and bright,
It's a supernatural delight
Alex Teng Jun 2019
Be the extinguisher,
Stop the candle from burning herself out,
From the matches that are trying.
All won't happen without air (fate)

Rumors
Alex Teng May 2019
Rumors are carried by haters,
Spread by fools,
And accepted by idiots.

Butterfly
Alex Teng May 2019
He feels so ugly
That the only way he can find some peace
Is to share his pain with others

You aren't what he said  
You are the opposite
Find your butterfly

He hate himself so much
That he believe that the best way to feel beautiful is to make others ugly.
Stay safe and stay strong

Obstacles
Alex Teng May 2019
Embrace obstacles in life,
As the darker the skies,
The brighter the stars shine.

Fly

Fly
Break the norms and raise high,
Who told you, that you cannot fly.

Joke of the day
Alex Teng May 2019
Men are born between a woman's leg,
And they spend the rest of their life,
Trying to get back in between them,
Because there is no place like home !

Joke of the day
Alex Teng May 2019
When you get older,
You will face two weaknesses,
First, you will forget easily,
Second, I can't remember
May 2019 · 283
Sometimes
Alex Teng May 2019
Sometimes the one riding with you,
Aren't really riding for you,
Sometimes the one closest to you,
Is the one competing silently with you.

Stay strong
Alex Teng May 2019
I don't think anyone really understand how tiring it is to act okay and always be strong when in reality you're close to the edge
May 2019 · 240
Education
Alex Teng May 2019
Gas chambers built by engineers,
Children poisoned by chemist,
Infants killed by nurses,
Innocents killed by soldier,
Education should train human,
To be more human.

Grass bed
Alex Teng May 2019
Used to lay on the grass bed,
To see the stars up the sky,
It's the same grass bed,
No stars tonight

Present
Alex Teng May 2019
The past is gone for good.
You can sit here mourning it's departure,
Or prepare for the future.
A week passed

Don't cry over a man
Alex Teng May 2019
You got to be tough,
If you are going to be stupid.

Disgusting
Alex Teng May 2019
In this generation,
If it's isn't on film,
You didn't do it.

That's something
Alex Teng May 2019
You know the feeling,
Where you first had a talk,
And you felt like,
You've known someone forever?

That's something

Cliché
Alex Teng May 2019
An apple a day,
Keep the doctors away,
A poem a day,
Get my thoughts somewhere.

Sometimes you got to be ,
Who you got to be,
Well,
Even Lucifer returns to Hell

Scream
Alex Teng May 2019
I went through every Hell's door
Just for you to shut it on my face
May 2019 · 206
Intimacy
Alex Teng May 2019
People think intimacy is about ***
But intimacy is about truth
When you realise,
You can tell someone your truth
You can show yourself to them
You can stand in front of them bare
And their response is
You are safe with me
That's intimacy.

Guess who
Alex Teng May 2019
Stop trying to be anything
If everyone just focused on enjoying life
And stopped pretending to be something
they think someone else wants
We'd all be having gutsy relationships
instead of the ridiculous games
Of "guess who" we seem to keep finding.
May 2019 · 197
Gesture
Alex Teng May 2019
When you say you are leaving
I don't like the word goodbye
Or the wave of hand
Maybe it's just me
Feeling the pain

Heart
Alex Teng May 2019
Always too soft
Crying alone till the dawn
Loved without regret without hate
You ain't that strong at all
To take responsibilities all by yourself

It's easy to fall in love
It's difficult to communicate
If it's not yours,
Don't force it

Why can;t you fall asleep ?
Are you still missing her ?
Aren't you tired of loving ?
Even tho you know she ain't coming?

Trying to love someone bravely,
To treat her wholesomely
Too bad she ain't taking it
She won't even flinch
At the sacrifices you made

You can't be thinking
To always be the good one

So let it go
Just let it go
Forget it like she says so

It ain't worth waiting
If she ain't coming
You should be thinking
About how you doing !

Silent cry
Alex Teng May 2019
Think about it
It is more reliable to earn money
Cause when you are in a bad mood
You can always buy two bottles of beer
A big bag of chips
Sit by the side of road and cry

When you had the money
You can cry in Paris
You can cry in Tokyo
Cry in London, Cry in Rome

Cry while playing
Cry while enjoying
Cry as much as you hate crying

What is love
Alex Teng May 2019
Do you understand
Or even know what is love ?

The biggest fate ?
God's greatest plan ?

That's a movie
That's the story

Life is also very short
It's not who you love that matters

What matters is
Who is the person who's with you ?
May 2019 · 242
Any way?
Alex Teng May 2019
What if I say,
I will teach you a way
To see the one you love right away


How much do you love her
Even such an obvious lie
Makes you sway ?

Priority
Alex Teng May 2019
If we are dating,
I want to be your second priority,
I want your first priority to be you,
Your life and your future.

Because,
Finding happiness and security alone,
Is crucial to finding it together.

Rain, Rain, Go away
Alex Teng May 2019
Gazing from my window at a group of children play,
All absorbed in childish beneath the sun's bright ray
Suddenly the heavens clouded threatening the sunny day,
Anxious mothers seek their darlings, now their joy gives away


Pouting lips and saddened faces,
Naughty rain their joy disperse,
From their little hearts the wall comes,
Nature's pathos in this verse

Rain, rain , go away,
Come another washing day,
For the children want to play,
Please just go away
Cuddling weather

Time
Alex Teng May 2019
How to stop time, kiss
How to travel in time, read
How to escape time, music
How to feel time, write
How to release time, breathe
How to waste time,
Like this poem

An apple a day,
Keep the doctors away
Your presence each day,
Keep my sorrows away.

When he had a garden
I gave you a petal
I only had a flower

You can't see God
Yet you believe

Undefine
Alex Teng May 2019
I exist in different version
My parents see me as a son
My siblings see me as a brother
My teacher see me as a student
My colleague see me as a friend
My lover see me as a
Double faced

I don't look at other girls
I don't exist

Goodnight
Alex Teng Apr 2019
Lullaby and good night
Dream sweet dreams of love and light
In your heart
In your hands
You are more than your desires or your demands

Through the days
Through the years
Through the laughter and the tears
You will grieve
You will grow
You'll be more than anyone will ever know
And when you feel this can't be true
I'll help you through

So when you feel you're on your own
Got nowhere to go
Turn yourself around
Seek my shoulder

And when you feel you're on the ropes
Close to losing hope
I will hold you closer

Lullaby and good night
Dream sweet dreams of love and light
You are strong
You are whole
You are more than anyone will ever know
And when you feel this can't be true
I'm here for you
Apr 2019 · 387
Pace
Alex Teng Apr 2019
What if time is just a concept
Created to confine us
It may take us a few minutes
To walk a few blocks

For a snail
That's forever
Inspired by a slow snail

You've asked me to quit smoking.
But cigarette is the only thing that don't quit me,
You did.
