a friend asked me today
she asked me if I know you
I said yes
questions poured in
in the end she told me
shes into you
she knew what happened to us
and said sorry many times
but I said that was okay
it was all in the past
she said you were nice
I smiled as she told me stories
about you as if I never knew
I pretended to be awed and curious
and finally she told me you asked her out


That's okay
I'm not that hurt anyways
stop saying sorry 'cause
we were through long time ago
but please be a good girlfriend
I said

I can't honestly tell her that
deep inside I'm still not over you
thoughts about you kept me awake at night
and I still kept the things I received from you
but instead I cheered for her
and tell her to take care of you

I guess you'll never know
that I'm still loving you
this heart of mine wasn't ready to let you go
how I wish I can tell her
"please Say No"
I'm not ready to see you with someone else
I hope she'll say No

time is just a fragment we created
it never existed before until
we draw it into our lives
never affected how we saw each other
until we spoke
its very existence started

you spun time in between your fingertips
you stretched the time between replies
until it went from seconds to hours
months to years

you did it so gracefully that one
can consider it as an art

I wonder of all the goodbyes you've ever said, if mine was the one you can't get out of your head.
The question that I never asked the last time we met. Sept. 24

How far can I go?
chasing everything
I ever wanted
the things I thought
would made this restless
heart at peace
and as I run towards
my dreams and aspirations
I lost part of my soul
in return
Is it worth it?

How far can I go?

that you can't save

by gripping it

because you'll

I saw a rainbow today
it made me think of you
sometimes you are blue
and I remember that day
you're wearing a red shirt too
as we walk around
I see violets on the
ground
tall trees of green
there are yellow bells too
we wander this
small familiar town
taking our time
walking and talking
we saw an indigo
colored car passed
by
as the sun sets
burst its orange
hues
its been a long day
I enjoyed
spending it with
you

our soul are like
bottled inks
waiting to be open
and spill it wonders
on blank sheets
this is a piece
of my soul
in ink
unto this paper
it spilled

the rain
starts to drop
his fists clenched
his eyes was red
he cursed the ground
muttering the words
fate is wicked
screams unheard
he cursed the ground
called you stupid
your silence cut deep
the pain he tried to keep
he remain tight-lipped
yet inside he wails and wept
how dare you throw away the life
that others struggles to keep?
as the rain stop
he asked the ground
why did you commit
such selfish act?
Potd. Sept 11.

you are his poetry
so he writes about your beauty
in between the lines
of his flawed rhymes
you'll find a
vulnerable guy

Nakatingin na naman
sa malayo
habang tahimik
na tinitingnan
ang palubog na araw
dito sa tagpuan natin
ako'y nag-iisa na naman
Mga alaala mo
tahimik na sumasabay
sa ihip ng hangin at
sa unti unting pagbaba
ng araw sa parang

Hanggang kailan ako aasa
sa posibilidad na bukas
ay muli kang makakasama
Hanggang kailan ako
maghihintay
Kasi unti unti na kong
nalulumbay
matagal pa ba?
ako'y naiinip na
pakisundo na lang
ako pag oras ko na

Araw araw
walang mintis
dumadalaw dito sa tagpuan
masuyong hinahaplos
pangalan mo'ng nakaukit
sa bato
mga naggagandahang
bulaklak na gusto mo
ay dala dala ko
bukas ulit
andito na naman ako

Sana nung nagpaalam ka
pinigilan kita
kung hindi lang ako tanga
sana naagapan ko pa
hindi ko alam
yun pala ay huli na
Huling pagkakataon na
makita ka
Huling pagkakataon
na makasama ka


Matagal pa ba?
ako'y naiinip na
pakisundo na lang
ako pag oras ko na

there's this thing
going  in my mind that I have to set free

I have been keeping this
for a long time already

the more I contain it
it feels like to break free

breathing in and out
trying to clear the clouds
wont let this anxiety take over me

noong bata ako
mahilig ako maglaro
nang taguan
sa ilalim ng buwan
sa harap ng bahay
nagkakasama kami'ng
magkakaibigan
pagpipilian
kung sino ang matataya
magbibilang ng sampu
hanggang sa lahat
ay nagsipagtago
at sa bawat laro  
may madayang
biglang maglalaho
pero sa taguan
kung sino yung
maunang makita
ay siya ang matataya
kaya naman
kung sino yung nangdaya
tiyak sa susunod
na kabilugan ng
buwan
ay hindi na kabilang

"Magsimula tayong muli."

Yun ang sabi niya, na parang kay dali lang ibalik lahat nang iniwala niya. Sa tagal niyang nawala hindi ko lubos maisip pang babalik siya na tila ba parang wala lang nangyari.
Ang walang hiya, sasabihin na kasalanan ko din naman kung bakit siya nagdesisyon umalis para hanapin yung sarili niya at ayun hinayaan ko na. Hindi ako martir. Bingi na kasi siya sa mga pakiusap kong subukan namin ulit.
Sa nagdaan na panahon na wala siya, pilit ko din inaayos yung lahat na binasag niya. Pilit pinagdikit ang natitirang bubog ng pagkatao ko na dinurog niya. Tinahi yung gutay gutay kong puso at pilit na ginamot hanggang sa maghilom.
Ang pagmamahal na inapak apakan niya lang ng makapal niya na tsinelas ay pilit niyang pinapadampot sa akin na para bang gusto niyang ialay ko ulit sa kanya. Tatanggapin ko ba ang proposisyon niya? O baka naman nabagot lang siya kasi walang mapaglaruan na iba?
Ang hirap sa kanya libre na nga binalewala niya pa.
Sobra akong nagpakatanga sa kanya noon. Ngayon, kahit nasa harapan ko siya nagtatanong kung pwede pa ba? Nanumbalik man ang sakit ng nakaraan na dati pilit ko winawaglit. Nasabi ko na lang sa kanya.

"Hinding hindi na ako magpapaloko ulit tama na siguro yung nagpakatanga, naging alipin, sumugal, nagmakaawa at kailanman hindi ako naging sapat sa maling tao at sa maling pag-ibig."

there are nights
like this
when i kept on
staring the cracks
at the ceiling
and wonder how
on earth
we keep
justifying
all the bullets
fired at us
just because
we love the
one
pulling
the trigger
I dont know why. I guess I'm not that bulletproofed. Potd. Sept. 23

ang buhay
ay parang pagtawid
sa kalsada
tingin sa kanan
tingin sa kabila
nag aantay na maging
berde ang ilaw
na nasa kabila
mabilisang pagtawid
sa kalsadang abala
sumasabay sa mga taong
hindi kilala
wag kang tumawid
pag ang umilaw ay pula
mas mabuting mag-antay
kesa masagasaan ka

should I begin with an apology
or thank you?
you have given me a chance
to know you
they say people come and go
sometimes even if you don't
want to you'll have to let them go
maybe I should begin by saying
"I'm sorry"
there are days I push you
just because I want to deal it alone
and hope you don't resent me
all I can think of is to protect you
and I'll end all of this with a
"thank you"
for being there with me
when everyone else walked away

broken boys
with missing hearts
are like broken toys
with missing parts
the lost fights
and lost nights
small mistakes
turn into highlights
their sorry eyes
filled with tears
but they never cry
they struggle
just to keep it all inside

we were sitting silently
on a dim lit park
and you kept on glancing
on your phone
"it's just a text, chill" i joked
but you answered way seriously
"im waiting for her to reply,
for me it was much more than
just a text from the screen"
that moment i know
ill no longer sit with you in the park

I remembered the day you asked me what it's like to fall in love
and now that I think of it
it is the tears that I try to hold back
when I won't admit I'm broken
it's like a whirlwind that picks me up from where you were and throw me somewhere I've never been
and it was like a match sticks when lit can burn a forest to ashes with a slightest touch

"I can't promise you that love is beautiful, but I can promise you it was worth it." I answered
at the back of my head I know
much like of life
love can **** you

hindi ko na mabilang
kung ilang beses na ako
nabasa sa ulan
may mga panahong
dahil sa aking katangahan
biglang bumuhos ang
napakalakas na ulan
may mga pagkakataong
sinasadya din magpaulan
wala gusto ko lang
kailangan ba laging
may dahilan?
simula nang araw ay
makulilim na langit ang bungad
ang payong na isinantabi
pagdinila ko'y walang ulan
na nangyayari
nagbibiro na naman ang langit
sa panahong gusto kong magbabad
at maglakad sa ilalim ng ulan
hindi lumapat sa tuyong lupa
na siyang aking apak

At 25,
you'll read old conversations
at night
while having coffee
you'll think about your life,
how you never get enough sleep
and
thinking ways how to survive
work days until weekend
it feels like kind of a routine
but that's okay,
you'll get out of it someday.
Adulting under construction.

He walks back into my life

ikaw yung wala lang
sagot ko sa tanong na
Ano ang iniisip mo?
"Wala Lang"
wala lang kasi hindi ko masabi ng buo
ang pangalan mo
na sa totoo lang pinilit kong kinakalimutan
at sana sa susunod
pag tinanong ulit ako
kung ano yung nasa isip ko
masasabi ko na ang mga katagang
"nakalimutan ko na"

i started writing
as way
of decluttering
thoughts in my head,
wounds that
needs tending
and a soul
that needs mending
then someone asked me
what will happen after you heal?
maybe when the time comes
i'll gladly burn all
these
pile of papers
to
the ground

tell me
what went wrong
was it because
i wasn't that strong
or it was that
i forgot to write you love songs
or maybe
i waited for you far too long
in between your words
you pronounced "him" differently
i wondered if there was a difference
between him and me
that so much
your eyes turn to him
and never me

Sa totoo lang
ako'y nabigla
hindi ko inaasahan
ang biglaang
pag galaw mo
na halos
pakiramdam ko
sasabog ang puso
sa sobrang bilis
ng pag pintig nito
na tila ba'y para akong
mawawalan ng malay
sapagkat hindi ko alam
kung ano ang gagawin
sa biglaang pagyakap
para akong idinuduyan
at pinapanalangin na
sana'y tumagal at
wala nang katapusan
ang pagkakataong ito'y
kay tagal kong inaasam
pero bakit kahit anong
hiling ko na tumigil
ang mundo pansamantala'y
tila ba mas bumilis pa
ang bawat patak
ng segundo sa relo
nababaliw na ata ako
sana naman naramdaman mo
ang nanginginig kong mga
kamay habang dahan dahan
kang kumakalas ang
puso ko'y unti unti
din napipigtas
at sa iyong paghakbang
paalis at pagtalikod mo
na sadyang ka'y bilis
wala din akong nagawa
kundi ang hayaan kang
umalis at sa aking paghakbang
paalis sa lugar na kung saan
naging saksi ng iyong pagyakap
at nakarinig ng mumunting
dalangin ko sa maikling oras
inaasahan ko na ako'y
iyong tatawagin uli
hanggang sa pagtulog
mamayang gabi
sana ay kahit sa panaginip
pinapanalangin ko
na mayakap kang
muli

I was so afraid

process
I lost myself,
I've tried so hard
not to break you
but in the end
it was you
who ruined me.
