I'll Only Have You


The night is a canvas
turbulence, the safflower oil
you were the abyss I fell into;
the echoes beneath the soil.

I have lost my mind
searching for you in the cold, musty dark
I have longed for your touch
the tingling warmth that would deftly heal my scars.

Who are you?
my blemishes fade, my unbearable flaws 
stroked away by your brush
I am new, and now I am yours.

Are you van Gogh?
or are you Munch?
my skin quivers; the silver clair de lune
but I will only have you
if you're sweeter than my solitude.

I'm still beating myself up for that. And then there was Taylor's Principal Awards where I was awarded with 10 thousand MYR worth of tuition wee waiver for selected Pre-University Courses. Considering my current financial abilities, I turned it down because as honoured as I am to be holding a TPA, the remaining uncovered fees (not to mention living costs) were still far from what my family could afford. I didn't get the PETRONAS scholarship, neither did I make it to the 3rd stage of Yayasan Khazanah (YK). I say, failures are a sign of you're getting closer to what you want, so let's rejoice.  Back to where I started, I was about to write about what I've learned during the interview processes of YK - Stag...
