You once said
that beneath this flesh of mine
are worlds and galaxies and universe
and ideas waiting to get out.
But boy, you are so wrong,
how can I tell you that within me
are not galaxies, but ghosts and demons
and dead souls wanting to get out?

I.
It was raining hard when you left me
the ship we’re on was about to sink
and all the gang was there.
You held her hand,
As I held mine.
II.
It was raining hard when she left me
the ship we’re on was about to sink
and all the gang was there.
I wished it was her hand,
I was holding.
III.
It was raining hard when he left me
the ship we’re on was about to sink
and all the gang was there.
I was holding his hand,
But she was holding his heart.

The words curled around her tongue
vanishing before she gets a taste of it
Her hands are inked with sentences
Her stomach are filled with phrases unknown
Every bit of her skin
Are marked with ancient lines
Four lines, five lines, six lines
And she lost count of the others on her back
They called it stanzas
From the World Before
When words were freely written and spoken
On things called books and papers
With an ink that must be the same
As the one inscribed on her soul.
She is an obscenity
A walking contradiction
A curse in the post human language era
As she bears all the words and languages of the world
So that all can see through her
The beauty that words can make
(Yet none can read nor understand)
Even though none can read nor understand.
She wears her soul on her skin.
Still, no one can read her.

I’m memorizing every contours of your face,
Like a blind girl tracing her fingers on a braille,
I’m memorizing how your voice sounds
And how it tinkers when you laugh,
I’m commiting to memory every facet and feature of you
For I know our days won’t last
And I’m just that kind of girl
Who keeps on forgetting
her ex-lovers faces and names
So when that time comes
When our ways will part
I hope I’ll have enough memories of you
Tucked in my mind and my heart,
memories, I will never
unlearn.

He’s building castles in the sands
Making his way in my heart
He’s building words in the sky
Sprinkling me with love
He’s building towers out of paper cups
To anchor me from up above
He’s building my life before he sleeps
And I am nothing but his dream.

You entered my life
and I couldn’t help
but question God,
Why?
You’re slowly, gradually, fading in my life
and I still couldn’t help
but ask again God,
Why?
Why should I even have to see you?
Meet you?
Feel you?
Fall for you?
What’s the purpose of this?
I still haven’t found the answer.
God has been quite silent all this time,
watching, observing,
maybe shaking His head from time to time
in all my unwise decisions,
but nevertheless mum all this time.
And I wonder if I would ever know
or this would be one of those
things that get in the back burner of my mind
as years go by
and memories fade
and as realities turn into dreams
as vague as whispers wistfully carried by the wind
and petals being silently plucked out,
“Do you love me, or do you love me not?”

Look at me now
can you see
I’m made of glass
and sheets of ice
that slowly melt
at your glance and touch?
Look at me now
will you believe
that I’ve gone to hell
and earth and heaven
then all the way back to hell
because of you?
Look at me now
and tell me
that you see me
that you see the devil that was me
and the angel that is me
and the human I’m struggling to be.
Look at me now
Do you really see me?
‘Cause I badly want to know,
What you see when you look at me.

Embrace me through the night
And let me feel you sigh
I want to feel your heartbeat close to mine
as it sky-rocketed through the sky
Hold me tight
Keep me warm
Even just through this night
I don’t care if this won’t last
as forever never do really last
Lie to me if you must
But don’t tell me this isn’t real
for tomorrow may be gone
and this moment is enough.
Lie to me if you must
but make me believe
even just this once
that your heart beats only for me
and this is nothing else but real.
