; end of the world

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world, cos you don't love me anymore.

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do those stars glow above?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world, it ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning, and I wonder;
Why everything's the same, as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand;
How life goes on the way it does?

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know, it's the end of the world,
It ended when you said goodbye.


No matter what happens, the world will go on spinning, and Apollo's fiery chariot will resume it's daily trek through the sky. At dusk, the velvety blanket of darkness will fall, along with the stars that twinkle and shine, with the customary illusion of hope. Even when there is no hope.

It's unkind and unfair of me to begrudge his friends for their nonchalance. But. Big Xiang called the day before, he said the bunch was at Ktv and he thought of my brother and wanted to find out how he's doing. When I inquired whether he knew that they could write, he hesitated and went "I know but.. Aiya.." I'm fully aware that people move on, but so quickly, it's a wonder why people could litter me with names like heart of stone, for my seemingly cold bloodedness sometimes. There they were, enjoying themselves while my brother was probably asleep on the stonecold mat, with nothing to look forward to but another day closer to freedom. These times I hate the world, I truly do.
