I was sailing in

my own storm

but now, I am

at ease.

Sailing in

my lake of

tranquility;

for You have given

me, peace.

You saved me,

when I've fallen

to depravity.


You gave me

hope,

when I was

trapped with

iniquity.

My heart is now

cold as ice;

I don't want to

hear from you—

or your lies.


We barely even know

each other;

you annoying little punk—

do you want me

to call my father?


Stop pestering me,

I'm not ready

to feel that way.

Swoon me

and I will

mess your day.
I met this guy during a tutoring session when I was still in high school. We both came from different schools so basically he's not a schoolmate of mine.  There's this place for students who can get tutors in different subjects so I was there, studying Algebra and he was studying Mandarin Chinese. We're not really close and I only see him as an "acquaintance". He started to put on this "persona" and tried to act cool in front of me. Like a braggart. And then suddenly he just messaged me asking to be his girlfriend. I told him "no" because I wasn't ready to be in a relationship and also I didn't see him in a romantic way. But he keeps on persisting to the point it really irritated me. I then realized that he just wanted to use me and to boast to his friends in school that he finally has a girlfriend. I told him that he was ludicrous and also to find someone else to be his girlfriend. I never talked to him again.

I wish I could turn back in time when I first met you. I miss the feeling of being with your presence and falling in love. I know it that once I fell, I won't stop loving you. But I know that you have to leave. And once you leave, you would forget everything we had. Every moment we shared, the experience and most of all: the feelings. The feelings we have will just fade away. And once we meet again in time, we'll just be strangers......



"Strangers with a past".

That girl with the

beautiful stature;

I knew she would

be captured,

by the hearts

of men.


Her icy cold stare

and long black hair;

I would rate her

a ten.


The way she walks,

she flaunts.

The way she talks,

she taunts.


She was the girl

whom I just met;

She was the girl

who was hard to get.
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour,
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu.
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of naught
Save where you are, how happy you make those.
    So true a fool is love that in your will,
    Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.
