Looking Down
Gabriel Jan 2022
I hope these tears will fall on my phone
  and accidentally call your number
since my hands cramp
over holding on to love

The ears just don't seem to listen to what the brain has in mind

since the heart will always conquer even the smartest intellect
and I have been stupidly in love with you

My tears however wanted to know
the reason behind
why it landed on my cheek
that you used to kissed
before you said
good bye
Don't give up

Fantasy
Gabriel Nov 2018
Music drowns the room as our bodies
     sway like the tide.
The audacity to stay in someone's life
   just to become a fantasy,
    Hoping prayers can be granted just by  a press of a button

         As the rain tasted like yesterday's memories.
I've been dying for reality the whole time when the moment you left

The more I feel
The more you see
Difference has been set
but love comes to you and me
The less we talk
The more we hate
shared memories begin to fade
The less I talk
The more I think
love was never ours
efforts go down in the sink.

Timeless
Gabriel Sep 2018
Taking back the time
no time machine needed
all that we need to have
is us
in a place where memories stayed
and love
faded

So take me back
use the time machine if needed
bring yourself is all that I need
to a place that our memory fades
and love we've been dying
to heal

Not Like You
Gabriel Oct 2018
Don't compare me to the streets in your way...  
       I don't let others walk on a path
    that's only for one ..

    I'm not like you  |  I am not a deadman's house
              Where people only come to your door just to be entertained.
                         .I'm better.
               Better than you,but still
        you bring out what's best

in me...
Work my way out of this situation

She Comes Home Late/Regret
Gabriel Oct 2022
She comes home late,
the fragrance on her clothes seems different,
like a warm heat that had been rubbed
to a surface I dared not to believe
  and when she kissed me on the cheek
I prayed her lips was wet for
drinking the beverage I had offered her.

Regret has swallowed me whole,
   begged the mirror to break the silence,
what more do I lack?
Was the promise for eternity not enough
  or I wasn't as great as the lover I used to be in the past?

Each doubt made me weak, knowing on another's arms she was given plenty
and everytime she comes home late
  I hope she'll see
through my eyes a man
broken over a truth
I neglected to see

Maybe
Gabriel Jan 2022
Maybe the lie detector's broken
as you said "yes"
to a question that indicates
you leaving
my heart felt the pain
despite your hand
was on the machine
maybe it's broken...
maybe....

Writing Drunk
Gabriel Aug 2018
The last time I saw you
the word "perfection" will never be enough to describe you
your light brown hair
the way you look
as if the moon shines its way back to you
words can never fit in my hand
as metaphors can never be enough to kiss you
and poetry cannot completely describe how I miss you
but I'll write this while im drunk
to let you know
drunl thoughts always leads me to you
always you

Tremble
Gabriel Aug 2018
I used to hold promises like a piece of porcelain
Until my emotion trembles in fear for every step you take to go away from me
The porcelain was fine
I shattered in pieces
although promises are meant to be broken
I'd rather break myself than breaking the love we once had

Ease
Gabriel Jul 2019
Tell me you love me
and let this heart rest from the past
   as long as your tongue spills the truth
            I can take love a one last shot


          See through the smiles
              Let yourself be swallowed by my voice
                  if you found the flaw within these eyes
                       then I'll echo your name in my room
                                 so if you leave
                                     my heart will go with you

Beer
Gabriel Jun 2019
Beer doesn't go well with love
   Like a recorder it takes you back
From words you don't want to hear
  To memories that made you love and fear

For a beer fills the stomach
    Yet it makes my heart spill the truth
Rather waking up drunk
     While slowly letting go of you
Cheers

For I Am Yours
Gabriel Jun 2019
For I am yours , your lips are the first thing I want to taste every               morning more than my coffee
    Eyes than seen through everything I am and could ever be
Take my hand and let each finger point out the roads we can travel
        Use my feet as wheels that could take you anywhere
    For every place seems so colorful
             Whenever your around
Paris was great !

Why does morning coffee tastes like our bitter yesterdays?
   I added sugar to bring the sweetness back
      while all you do is sugarcoat everything.
            Cigarettes matches  our coffee more than pastry
               maybe we are only destined to be a habit
                     than being a necessity.
Coffee?

Mother Why
Gabriel Aug 2018
Mother why does your tone speak like shattered glass?
everytime I make a mistake you seem to make things last
Mother you have the most talent
to turn your voice into a broken recorder you often say things again and again
Mother I don't mean to insult you
but mother you are so focused on what your eyes see me
Mother Im trying my best
Isn't it so hard to see?
Your child is moving mountains yet you only see me moving rocks
I'm making a change while you're just making myself more into pressure
Mother can't you see
or am I the only one that can face
me?

Long-Term Promise
Gabriel Mar 2018
How to love you
If you got someone and I got mine
If my heart does not understand the circumstances
of forgotten touch.
Changing clothes baby I can't change no more
Lingering on the me I used to be
when i'm with you.
How our eyes look desperately
looking for answers to the wrongs
How the promises we once kept
turned to a vow that we never fulfilled .

Better
Gabriel Apr 2020
In an another multiverse
      The other me might be better
Skinny and with goals in his mind
       and a beautiful heart

But he may have the riches
         and the expensive watches...

I have you in this universe
        My road may be broken  
             from the decisions I made
yet you held my hand
       And that's makes my universe
      better than the others

Vodka Glass
Gabriel Jun 2019
A ***** glass is short
yet can contain the strongest liquor

Just like my words
I seldom speak
yet my words will always weigh you down.

Offering
Gabriel Aug 2021
If falling in love with you means selling my soul
I'd pack my bags with snacks,
take a cab,
give a big tip and a high five,
walk gracefully
as I knock on your door
and bringing everything that I have
to offer it all for you
May the Gods forgive me for my obsession

Noose
Gabriel Nov 2019
When will your ropes break
At 3am on a tight situation
You keep hanging up on the phone
So you can hang out with him
Was the best way
To strangle me
With lies
Oh I have my doubts

Ill Will
Gabriel Sep 2019
My eyes hurt whenever I see what they have in their hands
It seems the treasures they have glow more than mine
If I could take what they have maybe I won't whine or demand
For my mother told me a boy should never be envious in life

As I was getting taller my resentment grew stronger and louder,
"I want to have what they want! They have the cleanest of luxury"
I was never raised to grasp rubies so I begrudge men with power
Whenever I want something they refused, so I grew up with envy

Now my hands can afford diamonds like everybody else
the satisfaction that I felt was all I yearned for these years
Looking back to where accessories were considered wealth
Senseless for me to think that not having earthly desires is what I fear

Now if ever I pass by an alley and a kid looks at me with jealousy
Three words to change his look, "Here's a candy"
So he could see that happiness shines more than jewelry
To the kids who were not given anything when they were young
you know what it feels like

The Other Side of The Bed
Gabriel Aug 2021
I pray
  for that day
where my pillow
is no longer a substitute
for the other side of my bed
and only to wake up
with a dead arm
for holding you tightly.
I pray a little prayer
that Love will win in this life
and not on the next

Head Banger
Gabriel Mar 2019
I banged my head on the wall for the first time ,
it felt like the last time we talked
the hurt surrounding my head
was like the pain you done to my heart

  Was I thinking right when I hurt myself just to not let you leave
     Or was I wrong  
knowing you'll just turn your back and leave me banging my head more ?
suicide feels wrong but the pain makes my day bright

Gabriel Feb 2021
For in each shot I take, the liver begs the heart to stop
and the heart pleads the intoxicated brain as well.
The heart beats for a name that shattered it,
the eyes had seen what the mind couldn't bear
and my liver will consistently be fuller
than each bottle I have drank.

Who
Gabriel May 2022
Who
Who are you?

Not an ally to the covenant
neither a foe that I shall draw arms with

Your looks, pale
your intentions undefined

not a lover for me to die for
neither a deceased relative to let me cry

Alas twas a man in the mirror
Twas a man who I thought
I wouldn't never be

Lost
Gabriel Aug 2018
People couldn't find the way
        probably they forgot
could it be they were too hurt to remember
                   or to happy to notice
    If my mind was a road
I'd give you a way
        a perfect example of a person
    who thrives for other's needs while  
                            loosing his own way
    If you broke down
                clouded with sin
        only you can heal yourself
           it starts from within

Bojack
Gabriel Nov 2021
Mother always told me
"Run like a horse as you head over to your goals"

but the horse inside me resembles that of Bojack the Horseman
and running away has been a forte

Constantly struggling
thinking what will life be
if only I chose the right decisions

that make my world
a little more worth staying

A Message To My Father
Gabriel Jun 2019
F-or the father who left us empty
U-gly is a man that breaks his vows
C-ared less for the best yet cared more for the mistress
K-issed my mother on the cheek you let her hang on the cross          ............just for you to satisfy your lust

Y-our lies echoed on the family table , denying every sin
O-pened roads that will lead to burnt bridges
U-nderstanding the lie to never noticed the truth

My father, this is my message to you

Modern Warfare
Gabriel Sep 2018
These days words **** people more
the sharpest tongue dominates
No matter the situation
It eats the victim more and more
Not killing in a single bullet
Yet let them sink in
of what weakness they possess
Turning words into deadly machines
It prisons the weak in a daily basis
IF YOU HAVE DEPRESSION TALK TO ME
STRANGER TO YOUR MIND
I AM HERE

Halfway
Gabriel Dec 2019
Why would you smoke cigarettes
And only smoke a half ?

"Our cigarette butts leave tracks,
I threw it halfway
To let others know
I can control my habits."

Maybe the same way
You left me
Halfway our dreams and goals
Only to find out
I loved you reckless
While you left
With halfway love

Come Again
Gabriel Mar 2019
Nice to see your eyes once more,
full of life and mystery .
The day our fate grew farther
was my tomorrow's misery

5 steps closer, time begins to slow down a little
Long kisses and warm hugs makes my heart more brittle.
Till the last moment your arms were the most warm
A love so beautiful yet full of scars
Gabriel Sep 2018
The intro played and so did the memories
Fantasy was our  favourite place to hang out when reality separated us

For a slight moment we had
Like a 4 minute music
it was too perfect to end
too beautiful to stop

The music stops
I press repeat
not just only  to remember you
but repeating a music
a music that was both loved
by me and you

Just a little more
       we'll set sail to places we should've wandered
and
walk under the city lights til the sun decided to shine upon us.

Just a little more
        and we can build a home out of love's trust,
our hope for love will be it's strong foundation
                 and faith shall be it's roof over world's harshest weathers.

Just a little more
             and I get to kiss you in crowded places,
their gaze will not put out this burning love,
                  their whispers won't mean anything for us
and God's judgment shall be the only thing we'll obey.
  

Just a little more time
      just a little more........
and we can be family again my love

To My Next Lover
Gabriel Jan 2021
I hope you'll find the goodness of man in me
My bones have been broken
    for fighting over a love
that wasn't meant to risk

My hands have turned into tools
that fixed everything I touch
   while forgetting I was being used
       In the process

To the next lover
   We are lonely people
trying to figure out
     how to be less lonely
Let's start this by saying
                 "Hi"

Let Me Have This Moment

To look you in the eyes
  and let it tell what my lips can't say
since it can't construct words when
it's busy kissing you

To hold you tight
     as I sway you under the city lights,
footsteps of people will be our beat
        and the moon
will be the audience.

Sit down
    have a drink or two
tell me that you love me
       as the flowers bloom

Broken Youth
Gabriel Aug 2019
I'm going to be a father
Yet my heart does not comprehend
      My youth faded earlier
my shoulders grew heavier each day

As I handle the weight, she handled-more...
I was too young
So I lust over different women
They gave me a taste of what was lost..
But I forgot what will I even gain for
                  temporary pleasure

As I looked her in the eye I saw the
       broken songs we once sung
Her voice cracked like it was too much
                  for her to speak
The hatred she held for me for being a
                             misfit

But God I was too crazy for my youth
       I forgot she was preparing for -  
                       our future
I'm sick of taking flights to see these other girls swear to God I'm gonna change

Why latch on a lover
who couldn't even shed a tear for you?

Does your pillow know
How you cried for her in a bar
Only to go home
with a drowning heart

For you held the beer bottle
More than her hand
You chugged it down
Hoping it will be emptier
Than you ever can

If We Can't Make It
Gabriel Aug 2018
If the stars don't shine our way
remember i loved you
more than the days we just met
Since the day we part I've been feeling blue
You were an empty box that my heart wants to make it full

I guess we were so in love
we created new ways to make our promises more complicated .
We were drowning in an ocean of memories and my mind sunk first

I started reminiscing the past
dying from the present
and couldn't think of tomorrow
without you the clock doesn't seem to tick much louder

If we can't make it
tell him this
be lucky, you have her
as my luck ran out
tell him
if he started losing the way
I'll be there to make one

If we cant make it
remember darling
i loved you

To The Ends of Love
Gabriel Jul 2019
I woke up with an empty heart and mouthful of words
  waiting for you to come back
      and tell me once more  
           that your heart still latching on my name

Without a glimpse of reality
    I indulged with the fantasy of you and I
        hoping my dreams will match yours
        
At the last road to our chapter
   I found you once again
       you smiled at me like it was the first
             but love ended and said our one last goodbye
Cant keep going
Overthinking
Makes me feel sick
Especially the thoughts of you

Be safe
Always smile
Choose the right one this time
Keep him

A Shard Of Memory
Gabriel Sep 2022
Isn't love a time traveling feeling?
How her scent remains on my clothes
as my heart catches that memory
from a fragrance
that takes me back to a moment I felt home
a past, where not only my nose
gets to enjoy the feeling of you
but every piece of flesh
that longed for an embrace
of your existence.

And as reality snaps me back
tears dropped as I looked around,
a room full of the shadows
that haunt me with our unfinished love
and on my hand
is a piece of clothing
that I can grasp a memory of you
while the present still aches with regret
to live a future constantly holding on
   for you to comeback

Last Part Of Me
Gabriel Sep 2018
I scattered every last bit of myself
to places where I have been
I've lost my own soul
yet in those places
I am rich

One place is the bar
Where my lips linger on people i don't know
Beer tasted like Sunday's gospel
in a crowded room full of hypocrites

Second place is my bed
a bottomless pit full of my emotions
my bed sheet have seen the worst
my feet trapped on the feeling of comfort
while the world is cruel enough
to not even recognize your pain

The last is in your hands
Arms like heaven's embrace
I've been dying to live for your touch
as days turn to nights
you light my world more than the kitchen light we dance to all day

In places I have been
I lost myself more
in your eyes

I loved a thousand times
failed far more
here I am

open arms
with heart stitches
and broken lungs that force too much
on people who give too little

love my scars
as I will love yours
no matter how deep or how wide
Our time is to move forward
not staying only to heal

As my hand holds yours
painkillers are a remnants of the past
and never will be used in the future
love me for who I am

She saw love behind the metaphors,
  my intentions was leaking
through the sentences that I wrote
  and
as she travelled through my poems
she found pieces of herself
in every writing.

If I would make a love poem for you
then I have to spend
twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week
and
twelve months a year
cause true love is endless
the ink may run dry
or the paper may run out of stock
but here in my heart
and in my mind
I can create hundreds of poems
that tell
how I love you
I love you my adi

A Single Smile

A single smile , like the battery to any machine it brings the life out.
Everytime the world feeds hate , one joyful approach ain't a mistake
If you see a person walking by
,chin up and look at them in the eye
tell them a good day.
people are peculiar being different is a happy thing
share a laugh and smile

From the pearls in the sea
to the moon that lights the dark
I GAVE HER EVERYTHING  

"*******!" I cursed the world
my throat have never been this sore
my feet felt sober
from all the drunk steps I took
JUST TO GET CLOSER TO YOU

MY VISION MIGHT BE BLURRY
BUT I LOVED YOU STRAIGHT
In my eyes I saw heaven
in your arms i felt home
I longed for a short moment with you

GUESS THIS IS CALLED A LOVESICK BLUES

If you'd ask why I didn't choose you
My tongue curls up to say
That you were the dream
and she was the reality

I've slept far too longer
denying every truth
that the heart needs to wake up
knowing it will never be you

You were the happy thought
at the back of my brain
kept lock inside
being scared that things might change

But I found the weapon
to end all of our suffering
no deadly blades or guns
but only a tongue
having the courage to say
"i'm letting go"

Hello My Poem
Gabriel Jul 2022
My beloved piece
what emotion had me thinking of constructing you?
was it the the butterflies in my stomach
that eagerly wants to mention love
or the blue bird in my heart pleading for help to get out?

Let my hands be the fate to that
but while we patiently wait for it
to craft the masterpiece you are
My beloved poem
I'll take care of you
and I'll let the world know
how precious you are to me
and in each word is carved
to let my emotions live
and the world to admire you
knowing that you are loved

When an atheist loves a religious woman
He might question his own beliefs because of her
To think a miracle is holding his hand and a blessing holding his heart
Would he look up and pray or just thanking the stars?
"When God made you , He cussed for the first time, He turned to an angel gave him a high five telling "******* Im Good!" " -Rudy Francisco
