Act
Act
And so the final curtain has set

Its been great playing in your circus act
but now you hear the audience clapping

Its time to put an end to your show
goodbye foolish clown

No matter where you are

You are just sorrowful man behind a smiling mask
He writes loves stories of wonder beyond inspiration

and no one could ever match his wit, his art, his creation

No one could defeat him from the poet’s throne
                                 . . .
Though the king of composed literary

is a fool behind his work of virtuosity

a clown to his own emotions

describing love letters for a lover he has let go
It was called a
Coincidence
because it was an
Accident

And

It was called
Destiny
because it's
Fate

And then,
There was
U S
in between
For we did not know where we are, what We were
I remember that fairy tale
That bite of an apple
The answer to whom
The fairest should be

I look at the mirror
Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Why am I not pretty unlike her
Eyes on her every move
And lips so red
But it can ****

**** me and lay me to rest
No I'm not snow white

There's no prince to save me
From this fight

I've learned to live alone
To stand strong
And be hard as stone

No I'm not needing for saving
I've fallen corrupt
I need protecting

I'm the witch in the story
I assure you a
No Happy Ending
To all fallen chaos in nightmares
Started with a hello
Ended with a goodbye
Time to move on

And then your eyes met again
On the place you once treasure
A place of pain and sorrow

Then you smiled and he did
Waved farewell and went on
Awkward isn't it?

The person who was in your dreams
Exist only to wave and smile
A past which future stands still

Then comes the times were you were crying for a broken love
A dissolved relation
That ended up as the option

Awkward isn't it?
You met again
And couldn't look in the eye

Because you can never forget the past
Until you actually feel okay
With seeing them with another
I wanted to fall asleep it was my escape in this reality

Deeply imagining of what could've been.

Flying around the World with no reason to stop and much as well rest...

The nights are not what they seem, I need to stay awake.

The voices in my head telling me to open my eyes wide

Where only I can see the dark, wishing I was blind.

The silence was killer, to think I'd go back and listen to my Dad read a story or my Mom sing me to sleep

But I hear whispers saying I should leave.

Dreams weren't nice, they were frightful like the night

I can't differentiate reality from slumber.

The moment I close my eyelids I'd feel it, the grasp of something unseen. It's screaming in my ear letting me know

I'm not alone.

It's morning again 24hrs to prepare for Bedtime once more, another battle.  

And the Demon had a score.
Battling against with fears of things that keep me up at night. It can be depression or a form something else in mind
She said she wasn't
B r o k e n

but her mind is in
P i e c e s

and her heart is
B l e e d i n g

because of the
S h a r p
E d g e s
We think she is fine, but in her eyes it's otherwise
It’s not too late…

to be your own hero

and it’s always too late

to be the maiden in distress

but stop being the own

villain to your story

You are the main character

not the antagonist
I will ask you a question

“Do you remember the child you once were?

Who colored the crayons beyond the lines, shaping everything in that child’s imagination.

That painted the rivers green and the trees blue, full of wonder, putting nothing in order.

Now, I ask you this… What happened to that child?”

Why is that child now organizing the shapes, his head now a machine on rotate

He solves the puzzles but not his dreams
He gives the leaves a touch green, and rivers with blue...

What happened to the child who once ruled the world?

Now the World ruled the child."
Children~
You leave me with no other

but to get over
you
.
choice
I wanted to bury my feelings for you, deep within the ground so it was out of sight.

Never knew it was a seed, sprouting and blooming. It was beautiful you see  just one of a kind.

But I get it, you won't choose it.

Who would pick a daisy in a garden of roses.

And then you picked the one with the most thorns, now it's painted red just hiding in the colors.

But it's actually grey because you left.
Why would you even pick the flower that bloomed for you
I have wished for you in every star in the sky

and prayed you'd visit me in my dreams

waiting for 11:11 to come for it to come true

Hopeless still, broken inside, yet devoted to you
it wasn't what i needed but now i can't survive without you
Don't let me be your dream
  Something you need to achieve

Let me be your nightmare
  Things that keep you up at night

Don't let me be a flower
  You need to take care of

Let me the unexpected sprouts
  You never saw coming

Don't let me be the girl
   You wish to have by your side

Let me be the girl
   You need to have all your life

I'm never something pretty
   Because I am always insane

I don't need you to protect me

I need you to know me
Because I can't be normal let me be me
"Stay" The word that slipped his mouth when she was walking away.

She wanted to be chased yet she chose to close the door between them.

Sliding slowly regretting he made her leave and she guilty of shutting the door.
About lovers who chose to let go when both were holding on
I wonder about your dreams

The things that keep you up at night

And these thoughts open my eyes

If I appear at them once in a while

Then the sun is peeking through the blinds

Wondering again if I'd see you again tonight
I had it...
             These Honest Feelings
But it had me...
              The wrong timing
And the moment you said
               "I'm sorry."
I knew it was the end.
The start of letting go.
   When I finally got to the last hold
      You were there standing, saying
                "Stay."
Our story isn't the most happiest, but I will read it again with every bit of love

I had to say it back.
               "I'm sorry"
Because I can't risk another heartache
Every time you end up falling for him again.
I'm not a doctor to heal you when you're wounded. I get hurt to
There were things you left in me

Things that left a mark

Flowers that never bloomed

Because they withered apart
And I thought you remembered
When I used to fall
I'd tell where it hurt
so it can be healed
with gentle hands

Later on...

I kept on falling
Hurting
Being alone
Pointed my heart
Pointed my mind
It's in pain
But no one came

So...
I continued
This free fall
Endless agony
Until I hit
The
Ground
No one came to save the falling victim
Her eyes starts aligning  all constellations
Her hair black as the night
And shines with the nebulas
Her body radiant to the sun itself
She, a universe
With every cosmos of her body is in shape
Galaxies when she smiles forming a loop of faith
But for me
She is a glass
Eyes so clear
See through
Yet fills a blurry void
No one can go to
Her body a vase
With every curve in every way
Yet step foot on the tip of the unsafe
Pushed by Him she falls
And breaks
Every piece in every direction
Crumbles before her execution
And then She, the universe
Is fixed again
At the edge she stands
Infront is Him
Once again.


glass shatters

The end.
How one person could shatter a whole universe with just one mistake
.  .  .

You said to me “If you want something just reach out and grab it”

And it that moment I held your face. “I got it.” I replied.
You told me to

Hold on to him

when you were the one

I wanted to

Let go
He made me smile
He made me laugh
He made me fall in love
Then,
He  made me cry
He made me hope
that he would love me back
we are the main character of our lives and it's in our hands if we're going to save ourselves or let ourselves die...
Why are you trying to be his world?  
He can't contain every star in your body.

Every galaxy in your eyes

Whenever the whole solar system would spin on your smile.  

He can't
Contain
The
Universe
You are
Don't  let anybody tell you,  you're  not enough
Hey how are you

I wanted to tell you I'm hurting, that every part of my body is aching. That my eyes wanna cry out from so much pain inside. I'm begging, screaming and pleading to stop it all.

But what do I say?

"I'm fine"

A lie I couldn't bear to deny, everyone else is repeating the same line
When you just lie to pretend you're okay
He awaits for his favorite
                s t a r
the one he whispers his wishes too
the one he cries out too
the one he tells his story too
He awaits for that
                s t a r
When day has passed he goes to sleep
and dreams about his  
                s t a r
the one he whispers his love
the one he cries about
the one he tells his story
of that fated star and him
making a journey to an aisle
and as the day ends once more
He awaits for that
                 s t a r
if she ever to decides to open her window
and awaits for him to be her
                 m o o n
He awaits...
And the night falls
As she closes
Her eyes
The whole world
Fades
Into a
Dream
I fell asleep on the Sun, it was warmer than any sensation felt by a hug
I woke up on the moon because the stars were telling me love stories about you
I walked on the ocean the breeze of the wind telling me the direction
I climbed the shore where they said it was your destination
I flew on the land they told you where there and she was there as well
I went back to space to learn how I can distance myself
I starred at the earth from mars and it’s funny I know exactly where your heart is beating
Not with me but with her and her to be
So I fell asleep at my bed wondering the efforts I wasted.
Yeah... I fell but I got up.
I fell in love with you
I fell in love with that smile
to see you happy every time
I fell in love with  that laughter
the carelessness we share together
I fell in love with that frown
the sorrow of your heart I please
I fell in love with that boy
the one I fell in love more and more
I fell in love with  you
knowing  you won't love me too
I had to be nice
had to learn to keep smiling
I had to live my life
even though I'm dying
I had to be alone
I had to let go
Keep pretending
to be the fine girl
when I'm really losing my mind
in this cruel world
"You lied to me"

"Why did I trust you?"

He looked in my eyes,
  Those ocean shores began to become waves I've never seen before

His voice was a sound my ears never heard but was familiar like something from the past.

He answered. "You knew me.

And you didn't"
Two reasons someone would do treason, You knew them, or you didn't
It’s been awhile dear diary, How are you I would ask? Are you still fixated by the old love story you used to write daily in the past?

It’s been awhile teddy, How are you I would ask? Do you miss the times I would hug you every night every so afraid of the dark even though I had a night light?

It’s been awhile photos, How are you I would ask? I wonder why I smiled in every shot thinking the reason I was happy as that…

It’s been a while heart, How are you I would ask? Are you still fixated about your love story? Missing his hugs in everyday life? Or thinking the reasons you felt happy by his side?

It’s been awhile…
Love,

How are you I would ask?

Do you still remember our old love story?
Or the hugs I give you?
Perhaps maybe the smiles we had when we were together, smiling at each other.

It’s been a while

I hope you’re okay.

With the written love story of yours in that invitation

As you hug her in your arms both of you dressed in formal attire

And smiling sweetly captured in that altar

It’s been awhile since I cried, I wonder why?
Digging through my old poems found this one 8/15/2017
I was happy with the presence of you by my side

I was happy that I made you smile and laugh as you would do the same

I was happy that the thought of you caring for me was great

I was happy of the time we spent alone in our own world

I was happy with you…
But could I be happy?

When you left me out starring at the open door you exited

Was I happy when someone mentioned her name and you smiled from your cheeks

Was I happy when tears came down my face secretly that you wouldn’t see

Was I happy to look at the sight of you two laughing thinking that could’ve been me…

I was happy but then she came along and it was the question was I happy with you two getting along?

I was happy, but deep down inside I’m crying out screaming

" I… WAS  happy"
Stop searching at the place

                        where you lost me

Start finding the reason

                        I walked out
Walked on every city
  with signs I cannot understand
Spoke in a language
  I hardly can hardly pronounce
Loved people
  with broken hearts
yet I ended up with
   myself
    alone
      atlast
if i was to go to a place, to see very sign. to know everybody, i still feel empty in the end
Love was never between
    Beautiful Faces
Love was between
     The ugly experiences
Love was never about
     How happy you were
Love was about
     How sad you can be without them
Love shouldn't be
     Judged
Love should be
     Accepted
Love is bound to nothing perfect
Ageless with wrinkles
Love is bound to flaws
And that's the uniqueness
Love varies in different people
In different ways
Of showing " I love you"
This is how I view love.
Stepped on the stage
Dancing in the light
Eyes on her
Spinning in the spotlight
She did her show
With rabbits and hats
A thrilling magic of trickery
Everyone in the act
But in the room
A man believed in her power
Yet the show ended with her
  Disappearing.
    Was her final act.
When it's the last time you saw her
Why do we c o m m u n i c a t e
           to simply just
                       r  e  p  l  y?

And not
           u n d e r s t a n d
                             the meaning behind the words she cries
why?
It's either

Our hearts are
               MONSTERS
that's why our ribs are cages

               or...

Our hearts are
                G O L D E N
that's why we protect it with our chest

Either way

We should never let it go.

We release a beast

Or

We lose a treasure
It's never a win a win with your heart locked forever... rather an all for nothing chance
It's either

Our hearts are
               MONSTERS
that's why our ribs are cages

               or...

Our hearts are
                G O L D E N
that's why we protect it with our chest

Either way

We should never let it go.

We release a beast

Or

We lose a treasure
It's never a win a win with your heart locked forever... rather an all for nothing chance
You are the silent breeze of the wind
and I'm the raging ocean
You are a future so planned
yet I'm an unadorned present
You are the blooming daisies
while I'm a thorny rose
You are everything I'm not
but I am everything more
"Hey" I’m still in pain

"Hi" I’m lost again

"Hello" I said to him that time yet I’m going across the line

-----------------------------------------------------------­------------------------------

"How are you?" I wanted to ask, but I didn’t know the answer if you would question it to me.

I would lie and say something cliché like "I'm fine" that’s how it should be

We wouldn't talk for some time when crowds would take us apart, I know deep down I'm slowly tearing apart

Although I would look in your direction trying to find your point of view, to know what you saw in her, and not what you see before you…

And as the day ends I would likely lift my head and grab my things, walking to the exit door the same way I walked in

Saying the words I wish I never meant, words I beg to differ, words I regret

A simple "goodbye" to end this heartbreak moment
"Farewell" I didn't make you mine
Next time I'll try again, hopefully you'll notice then
classroom problems
Such treasure long forgotten
Marked with an X
Finding the rhythm
to see such sight
By ship sailing day and night

A heart of Gold by Your name
I found
The missing jewels of a piece
In ground

Your heart differs from my stone
It's buried deep inside
Cursed
Forgotten
Taken from home
...
My heart is trash while yours was a diamond in the sand
My fingers went loose
  
  Like the moment you touched my hair

My lips curved and smiled

  Like how yours would everytime I laughed

My feet stood straight

    The moment you stood before me

And then I let go
  Of a kite begging for the wind to take him away from this world

Like I did,
    With you.

Find peace in the heavens

Where I whisper to the air the things I missed

The words I dare to hear

The guy I begged to live

In my place.
Just reminding you how I miss you
You  are an open book

but your heart is

A runaway Princess
will I catch you?
I want to be a child

To be carefee
without a single thought of
   T o m o r r o w
     without a single thought of
        S o r r ow

And with no reason to be happy
because no one can take it away from me.

But there's this reason, the unexpected truth.

The error in the program
The lesson I cannot learn
The points on my circle
The turn in every road
The person I can't forget
The reasons are

Y O U.
I wanted to tell this, that he is my reason for so many things.
You said we'd be
  All the things we could've been
I said we could've been
  All the things we should be
But in the end...
  You were not mine to have
And I wasn't yours to hold
   So this our beginning
A friendship hurting both
To poetry I give my words I couldn't say
Soon the world will know
What's hiding behind every closed door

The smiles that weren't true
The lies of "I love you"

How everyone would say "I'm fine"
Only to be left behind

But the truth is you'll never really dare
Once they are broken you will then
    only then...
You will start to care
Why do we let things be when we know those who need help.
I don’t know what to say anymore when you said those eight words and three letters

Suddenly my heart stopped beating and I said with tears in my eyes. “I hate you too”

and then I whispered
“but it’s the opposite…”
Have you ever been imprisoned by your thoughts and admiration?
yelling out that you want to be free from this suffocation

You're a prisoner by all means, your heart has abandoned you to the court, and your mind a witness to all the things you've done

Then, you found a key; the answer to moving on but it couldn't fit the locked door

So you tried the best to escape but all routes has failed. There's only one way to fix this, is if you've let yourself to be not guilty of your crimes

Just prove you were innocent but what can we do? we are all pros at heartbreaks
