He had once been kind, just, and gentle, but the cruel world forced him to unravel. A hollowed smile played on his lips. He wasn't happy; the emotion of sadness eluded him entirely. He simply became what fate had dictated. But perhaps it wasn't fate at all. It could all have been just an accident. The cruel world was oblivious to his fragility.

Random Leaf #581

You cannot hold back tears, be it joy or sorrow. If it will rain, it will rain.

Random Leaf #580

And the devil asked, "do you want to forget?"

Random Leaf #579

But how can I save her? It's already her fate.

Random Leaf #578

The bitterness cannot drown me.

Random Leaf #577

It's because of love that the world needs heroes.

Random Leaf #576

In the sea of dark, a certain glow, whatever color that light maybe. It will always be a sign.

Random Leaf #575

The flags are all over. I must not get attached. Or else, even the tears of heaven won't be enough.

Random Leaf #574

Like moths in trance, my heart gets attracted to which would burn me ablaze.

Random Leaf #573

Her eyes were made of stars. Her tears were galaxy overflowing. She was never meant to cry.

Random Leaf #572

They were unguided, unloved and abandoned. They serve no one but their hunger. Satiate their needs and you'll be their master for a little. Or at the very least, until you can longer feed them. Let me warn you, though, they tend to bite hands of those who reach out to them.

Random Leaf #571

His anger is of the desert heated sun. No amount of sea could quench its scorch.

Random Leaf #570

After a long time, it's finally nice to meet you.

Random Leaf #569

Yet they are blinded and still continue on leading. Who will see for the rest of them?

Random Leaf #568

Were it not for the rope, I'd mistake them for angels.

Random Leaf #567

They were hanging under a churchyard tree. It was all too surreal.

Random Leaf #566

If only the world could see your beauty. We might have never met.

Random Leaf #565

To blind who loves his mother. She will always be beautiful though he may have never seen her.

Random Leaf #564

Would they be fools running rampant mockery, if in case they believe yet have no faith?

Leaves that fell elsewhere

Leaves 563 to 654, are missing. I have to go back.

Random Leaf #1336

Don't worry. The world recognizes minute kindness.

Random Leaf #1335

What if she realized, she herself has become what hurts what she loves most? Is it not only right for her to just disappear? She may have hurted him for at least once more but she knew it's for the best. She lives on, my friend. Rest assured. She's alive and well.

At the price of his tears, he would grow. And as her own price she set. She knew it is what should be. It was not only he that got hurt. She too felt it.

Random Leaf #1334

In this fucked up world we live in. It is normal for one to die as a hero than one to live as a hero.

Random Leaf #1333

Some things that soothe and some things that heal, can both be one and different.

Random Leaf #1332

And after that, he was lost.

Random Leaf #1331

Wouldn't it be ironicnif the god of sun is blind?

Random Leaf #1330

For they, too, may one day feel things disturbingly sour. For those who always yearned for the taste of grapes at their finest.

Random Leaf #1329

There will be tears more beautiful unshed than let fell.

Random Leaf #1328 IG

What if it was all a lie?

Random Leaf #1327

Dreams of invisible noose, rope marks and eyes unreflecting of dream

Random Leaf #1326

There will be lies better said and truths left unsaid.

Random Leaf #1325

Suddenly, the hero had an ephipany. There was nothing for him to gain. He could just simply choose to leave and let all these trivial things lay it's course. He wouldn't be affected even if did not participate anyway. Just a bitter taste both in his mouth and conscience.

Random Leaf #1324

A young man casually walked to isle of the warring nobles.

"I'll be her sword," said the young man, directing towards the teary eyed lady.

"Are you out of your mind?" asked a gentleman, one of the onlookers of the show.

Almost everyone aware of the feud seemed to favor the holy figure across the teary eyed lady.

"You're being decieved, young lad," said another gentleman with furly brown beard.

"She's a witch! She's a demon!" said a high pitched tone woman behind them.

The young man who waltz in the mids of heated discussion was certainly aware of things that happened. But still, he did not care.

He smiled and bowed. After raising his head and gaining his gentlemanly posture, he said.

"I am always up for a good fight. And right now, I am most certain I will be enjoyinh this small mock scrimmage."

Random Leaf #1323

It was obvious, right from the beginning. They weren't just feeding their ego. They were seeking for a place to call their own. They are different from the rest of us. The feats; their antics; their capabilities;  and everything about them. It's true they may seem like but they're not. They stand above everyone else, protecting everything around them, while everyone is going on their own ways. They have to do many things just for us to be where we are. Hence, they are called hero.

Random Leaf #1322

"For I, too, wish them saved," said the orphaned step-father.

"Saved? Don't you mean safe?" asked the head of the orphanage.

"Safety will only get them far. If only they could just let go of the heaviness in their heart."

Random Leaf #1321

Maybe there will a point in our lives. That one single moment wherein we would totally lose ourselves. Our real selfs. We just forget about it. We get disconnected from it. We become detached. And we won't even be aware. Somehow, despite that, we go on. We move. As if nothing were there. As if nothing happened all through out. Maybe it's not a single moment. Maybe it's a repeated cycle. A routine we would surely go on shedding bits and pieces of ourselves. It would be different everytime. And what would only hurt is that it would not hurt. Because we won't be aware about it.

Random Leaf #1320

Would it not hurt?

Some sort of a bitter cruel joke

to be asked

by the one you most cherish:

"who are you?"

Random Leaf #1319

I'm sorry. I can no longer save you.

Random Leaf #1318

Achievement unlocked: saved the devil digging his own grave.

Random Leaf #1317

For I too can be convinced it was never love to begin with.

Random Leaf #1316

It doesn't matter. Let the whole world hate me, for all I care. I want to see her smile more than anything else.

Random Leaf #1315

May one day, all tears shed genuinely out of love and heartfelt sorrow flow to an eternal oasis.

Random Leaf #1314

Those who knew you will smile and bow. You deserve it. Everyone knows.

Random Leaf #1313

He kept on mumbling: "I won't lose her. I won't," as he slowly lose himself. And his name is Orpheus.

Random Leaf #1312 IG

If she will cry for you, that's all the good reason for you to care for her even more.

------

If she cried for you —

then cherish her even more;

she felt something real.

Random Leaf #1311

He will kept on losing himself.

Random Leaf #1310

"She reminds of the moom," he reluctantly replied.

Random Leaf #1309

"He smells like the sun," she faintly whispered.

Random Leaf #1308

For the one who is most evil does not and will never require souls as payment. They are the creator's own property, after all. All the thing that the one who is most evil only needs are memories. Not a bad trade, if you think about it, right?

Random Leaf #1307

"It's fine. I'm happy she's happy and I get to see her everyday. What more could I ask?" I proudly answered.

"Tides come and go, my friends. You know full well she won't always be there." He jokingly remarked. But hidden in those words, it was meant as a warning. A warning to me.

Random Leaf #1306

The dreams will never be as vivid.

Random Leaf #1305

There will always come a time. I do not what what it will be about. I am sure we won't be ready for it. Whatever it is that will come.

Random Leaf #1304

Aren't we all one and the same? Some maybe broken, dented or damage, even still, we're all dying or are already dead inside.

Random Leaf #1303

In all honesty, if each and everyone truthfully and honestly understand each other, contradictory, no one would be trusting.

Random Leaf #1302

If only we could all hear the music that not all are blessed to hear. If only we could all distinguish the hues that not all are blessed to notice.

Random Leaf #1301

The hue of the world appeara differently from person to person. But the hints are only, and will always will be, too subtle to individually discriminate.

Random Leaf #1300

A lifetime will never be enough. It will never be.

Random Leaf #1299

For they cannot see the torch you carry

and the things they see is hardly visible to you. To what extent should patience still be called a virtue if by all means, much like them, you are only human.

Random Leaf #1298

Yet the present screams yes.

Random Leaf #1297

Would these little trivialities matter in a few years hence?

Random Leaf #1296

For the authors are the most evil and most beautiful beings made.

Random Leaf #1295

Can you still say the same when those you saved asks: "how can everything be fine if you're dying for us?"

Random Leaf #1294

They're too unreal and unbelievably realistic.

Random Leaf #1293

It is not her that sings the music. The music becomes her.

Random Leaf #1292

"I'm alright. Everything will is fine," that was her first lie ever.

Random Leaf #1291

Is it bravery or desperation?

Random Leaf #1290 IG

For I too, for someone else, is barely part of this world.

-----

For I too — for someone else — am not a part of this world.

Random Leaf #1291

Was it ideals that set him apart?

Random Leaf #1290 IG

It was already but the hero finally realized the blood on his hands. He was no savior to all. On one side, he is. On the the other he is not.

-----

It was already done—

when the hero finally realized

the blood on his hands.

He was no savior at all.

To most, he is—

To some, he is not.

Random Leaf #1289

And so in that future, they went on their separate ways?

Random Leaf #1288

Someday dream some daydream.

Random Leaf #1287

Someday dream.

Random Leaf #1286

Some daydream.

Random Leaf #1285

Do you know ehat sets them apart? Even though they are much like everyone else that slowly drift apart. They are lucid. They are hurting inside and yet they do not do anything about it. They accepting things while being aware.

Random Leaf #1284

Even though she tried so hard. It was never meant to be a love story.

Random Leaf #1283

Happy endings are but mere fleeting moments. Sufferings and struggles are forever.

Random Leaf #1282

Atop the many betrayals, dead bodies, love lost and lost dreams, I will be there. And the last thing you will hear from me will be laughter as my lifeless body drifts away.

Random Leaf #1281

And anything after that will just be heartbreak and disappointment.

Random Leaf #1280

For I have seen the truth. There is and will never be only one. There are many truth and all yielded into me crying. Each of them were painful. I regret knowing many of them. I fear one more or a few would really break me somewhere.

Random Leaf #1279

And one day when I wake up and you're no longer a part of my mind. A distant part me, someone missing, will be crying in a little corner. You were in fact everything to me at one point in life and forever will be. I just hope, that that one single what if had actually had been.

Random Leaf #1278

Let the world burn, you're all that I need!

Random Leaf #1277

I would do everything for you!

Random Leaf #1276

The man who knows about sacrifice. The man who knows about regret. Between these two, who is the real hero?

Random Leaf #1275

"I've killed people."

"You've saved many lives."

"You don't seem to understand. I'm a murderer."

"You are a hero."

Random Leaf #1274

Truthfully, I don't mind being involved. The main characters of this world should all be happy. That is what I'm rooting for.

Random Leaf #1273

Much like the rest of us, she wanted to ve loved.

Random Leaf #1272

For she, too, was broken inside. And her beautifully framed smile won't hide what's underneath.

Random Leaf #1271

For he without hope sees more than despair. Fear one who threw everything away and saw all things as chance and opportunity. What is left for a dead man on the edge of the end?

Random Leaf #1270

Words easily unspoken and oftentimes misunderstood. We always sing about them. Laugh things off as if mere trivial thoughts. We are fools willingly driving nails into our hearts.
