Half - Empty, Half - Full

The glass is half-empty, half-full

The man who drank is a fool

Believing that the liquor is water

All that’s left is a hangover

The journal is half-empty, half-full

Like a mere requirement in school

Entries are just make-believes

A wishful thinking from under the sleeves

And so the love they kept and grown have

had an offspring

At the age of 16, they have to raise another

being

In just a blink of an eye, the word was all

over

A child out of wedlock is soon to come over

The room is half-empty, half-full

Not so warm and not so cool

Sitting alone in one corner

Truth is soon to uncover

It happened a year, and a year ago

When everything seems aglow

Love came by unexpectedly

Followed by meetings under a mango tree

The relationship grew as time went by

Feelings for each other were no way to hide

But then the bond was suddenly discovered

Two families had since been angered

This triggered a more chaotic situation

Leaving them caught between love and

family consideration

Where to go? What to do? When will all the

pain subdue?

Another life is hanging, the image were all

so blue

Suddenly, fate had a very dreadful twist

One day, the woman felt something she

can’t resist

The fluid of life accidentally slipped away

Then what came next are pictures of black

and gray

Two lives departed, another is bewildered

The events had brought about nothing but

hatred

Seems like a lifetime has easily passed by

And all he can do is nothing but to cry

They say the more the heart is hindered, the

more it falls deeply in love

Because for a couple so young in age, love

is all they have

Nothing really beats our every first

time

Even when they’re together no more or their

music’s ran out of rhyme

The glass is half-empty, half-full

The journal is half-empty, half-full

The room is half-empty, half-full

The man is half-empty, half-full

A fool at school who lost his cool

Sitting alone in the four-cornered room

Waiting to hang himself in gloom.
