I have a story to tell,
A story that hurts me.
To a girl that my feelings fell,
and until now I love thee.

I cannot stop loving you.
Even it hurts me deep,
the pain inside subsides.
To the feelings that I keep.

Time won't let us one.
Love won't let us win.
... but I will still love you.
even if it can't be seen.
(read forward, then backward, line by line)

I ran.
Not knowing what else to do
There was so much blood on my hands
It was mine
The kitchen knife
Caught in my chest
Guilt
Consumed by
Fear
I was heightened by
Adrenaline
But running on
Wasn’t enough
While trying to stay calm,
Losing control
It was me that would end up
Dead. Because
He was
In front of me
The whole time
It was too late
Trapped
I found myself
Locked in chains
My fate was
Death.
Forward: from the victims perspective.
Backward: from the murderers perspective.

This TOOK ME FOREVER TO WRITE
Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

Paano ko nga ba ito simulan?,
Mga alala’y nito ang linalaman;
Mga araw na tayo’y nag nagsisiyahan;
At mga gabi na tayo’y nagkwekwentuhan

Naalala ko noon ang iyong mga kwento;
Na palaging naglalaro sa isp ko;
Mga halakhakan na hangang ngayo’y Rinig na rinig pa ;
Binabalikbalikan ang mga araw na kausap kita;

Akala ko’y puso mo’y hawakhawak ko na;
Ngunit sa king palad ito’y nadulas pa;
Ang kutob nito’y pumunta na sa iba;
Sa iba’y na  sumira ng pangarap nating dalawa;

Nagising ang sarili ,hawak ka na ng iba ;
Isang malaking letra ang sumampa;
Letrang T , na nasa isip gumagambala;

T-  Tumibok ang puso para say’o;
T -Tinamaan na nga ako say’o;
T -Tinitingala ang iyong boung pagkatao;
T-TANGA dahil sa huling binitiwan pa kita;

— The End —
