Tired
Byron Galang Jan 2015
I'm tired of hurting,
Tired of running,
Tired of crying,
Tired of fighting.
Tired to be someone who doesn't matter.
Tired of all the days that I will fear.
Tired.

So let me lie here
Because I'm tired.

Rekindled
Byron Galang Nov 2015
A candle burning,
A cold wind gushes,
The flame dies.
You came.
You lit up the candle.
You rekindled back my flame.
Thank you

Doesn't make sense
Byron Galang Jul 2015
I walk the same streets,
but I'm lost.

I talk to friends,
yet they are strangers.

I drink water,
yet I still thirst.

I eat,
but I get hungrier.

I see you,
but you're not there.

I'm here to help
Byron Galang Jan 2015
Don't worry. I'm here for you.
If you need a shoulder to lean on. I'm here for you.

I can't pretend to understand what you are going through. I can't imagine what has happened to you.

I'm not here to say sorry.

But I am here to say I'm here to help you.
By being there with you.
Remember you are not alone. No one is. You only have to look and reach out and someone will be there for you.

Those three magic words
Byron Galang Jul 2015
I haven't said that three magical words in a while now.
I would have loved to say it, just so that you may know
How much I feel for you,
But times have changed.
The three magical words no longer work their magic.
They are merely words now.
In memory what was but is now gone.

How long?
Byron Galang Jan 2015
How long do I need to wait?

I've been here for a year
With my heart in my hand
And nothing more to offer.

How long do I wait?

Until you notice me.

How long still,
Would I have to believe
That you are going to be mine?

How long do you think it'll be
Till I give up?

And how long would it take
For you to begin to miss me?

How long?

Aching
Byron Galang Nov 2015
My heart ached for the first time in ages when I saw you
My heart ached when you and I were introduced to each other
My heart ached when we talked of how your boyfriend hurt you.
My heart ached when I saw tears forming in your eyes.
My heart ached when I saw you smile a carefree smile.

Whatever you do, whatever you did.
My heart aches.
It aches for you

I was found
Byron Galang Jan 2015
Out there shivering in the night,
Without any fire or any light,
I was found.

A lost soul without hope,
A heart made of stone,
Was found.

Warm hands helped me
As I lay on ground lifeless dead.
I was found.

Out of nowhere did you come from.
Out of nowhere did you find me.

Because of you I am alive,
Because of you I am here.

And I love you for you have found me.

Surprised
Byron Galang Feb 2016
Excitement rushed through me,
As I opened the door finding you there,
Smiling happily.
She surprised me

Our little forever ending
Byron Galang Jun 2016
Within our forever
we promised each other
that we will be together
Forever and ever.

But that forever has ended,
and it was great while it lasted.
But times have changed.

I love you
And that will always be true.
No matter where you go,
No matter what you do.
I love you.

Crazy to believe in
a future that will not be.

Not anymore
Byron Galang Feb 2015
You've been telling me what to do.
Since the start I've listened and did what you wanted.
Now I'll show you.
I'll stand up for myself.
I won't bow to your every whim now.
But that doesn't mean that I don't love you.
I do and I will never stop myself from loving you.

Lost
Byron Galang Jul 2015
My body is alive,
Never have been better.
But I lost a part of my soul,
When I left you.
It still hasn't stop hurting.

The night
Byron Galang Oct 2015
I hate the night
Because I remember you.
All that we could have been
Will not be
Because you and I
Weren't meant to be.

Missing you
Byron Galang Feb 2016
'T was never my intention
To have this kind of emotion.
I feel a sense of urgency,
Like the feeling in a catastrophe,
When out of the blue,
I find myself...missing you.
For J.D.N.T.

Stranger
Byron Galang Jan 2015
For someone whom I don't know, you know me better than others.

For someone whom I don't know, you care more about me than othera.

For someone whom I don't know, you became the person I trust most.

How is it that a stranger
Could care for me better than a friend
Stay with me more than family
And comforts me more than anyone else?

A stranger whom I just met
Just became the person
That I would love the most.
Don't let fear of talking to others scare you. Take the chance and live freely.

Your back
Byron Galang Nov 2015
I chase but for nought.
I reach to touch what I can't reach.
I run to follow a fleeing site.
Smaller and smaller it goes,
That back which belongs to you.

I cry.

The ride
Byron Galang Jul 2015
The ride with you was
the best that I have ever had.
I felt like I could fly
whenever you were with me.
But every ride must come to an end,
And this is my stop.

You sang a song
A song of sweet despair
I clung to it
And was happy
Until you stopped singing
Then I despaired
Wanting you to sing
Your song of my despair

Happily Ever After
Byron Galang Jan 2015
A loving kiss that melts my heart.
A smile that warms my soul.
A Happily Ever after...

For you maybe,
But not me.

Are now the nightmares that haunts me.

Sleep
Byron Galang Feb 2016
When I watched over you sleeping,
I could hear a thousand angels singing.
When I saw you smile,
I felt God's breath as he sighs from appreciation.
Behold a beauty like no other,
A peaceful slumber,
In my arms,
Within our little forever.
To the person that I've been thinking about, you know who you are.

You
Byron Galang Jan 2015
You
I've never believed in forever
Nor of the thought of true love,
But  YOU came in my life
,and you shattered that belief of mine
And threw it on my face.
And I love you for it.

You are the reason why I believe in true love.
You are the reason why I could believe in a forever.

I once said to my self that I never needed
any kind of love from someone.
But YOU came and destroyed that belief,
You showed me that there was something
Better, better for me.

And that thing (person really)
Was You.
For her the woman that made me feel love and loved that I have never known to be possible

Finished?
Byron Galang Jun 2016
Warmth and sweetness
changed to *agony and sadness

when you were gone,
making me believe
that you and I are done.
I'm still hoping

Untouchable art
Byron Galang Nov 2015
Darkness fills the void of my lonely heart,
Accompanied by a monstrous hunger for that soul
Which has a hold on my heart.

Watching her as if a piece of art,
I hear a sound within me, an angry growl,
Because all I do is look, and this tears me apart.

But I intend to just watch,
To protect,
To let no man harm nor catch
You, not even myself.

For
You are an art to treasure.

With you
Byron Galang Jan 2015
With you, the sun feels warmer
The night feels less lonely.

With you, fear doesn't hold me
Instead your arms does.

With you, a normal day
Could become the best day of my life.

With you will I ever become truly happy.

The happy days will continue
And will last
As long as
I
Am
With you.
To my special someone. Thank you for being by side and having me love someone like you.

Sleep
Byron Galang Jan 2015
As my body lie
Here in my confined  four walls,
I feel a peace
That I have never experienced.

To the women who are crying,
Please stop.

I am tired,
Let me sleep.

To friends that visit me,
There's no need for flowers.

Just let ms lie here peacefully
And let me have my sleep.

That I'm better off

How come?
Byron Galang Jan 2015
How come that
You say you love me,
Yet you always hurt me.

How come that
You say you need me,
Yet you always push me away.

How come that
You say you are hurting,
Yet you don't want my help.

What should I do if you don't even want me around you?

Is this finally it?
Byron Galang Jan 2015
They said that what I felt
Would go away soon if not now.
They said that it hurts but I think hurt is not its only description.
They said that it takes time
But mine did not.
They said it fades
But I believe mine will last.

I've been like this for the past year.
Yet everybody still says the same.
But I could hardly listen to what others think.
Because there is only one that matters.
Hers.

I've been asking myself this question.
Is this finally it?
Listen to yourself

Home
Byron Galang Jan 2015
Looking up I find the ceiling
Staring back at me with its gray eyes,
Feeling as if oblivion eats my soul
And drowns my body,
But a force pulls me down
To reality and once again life.
And that person is watching TV
Right next to me.

I have a dream
That someday you'll be here.
In my arms.

But for now you'll be at someone else's.

And I'll be here, waiting for you.

Wind and I
Byron Galang Jan 2015
As a tree I have never cared
Of the birds that made its nest on my branch,
Nor of the kids that climbed my arms,
Nor of sunlight that kept me warm in the cold.
The only time that I only cared
Was when the wind blew.

And then I knew...

— The End —
