My mama told me not to cry,
cause it stains my pretty face,
Daddy told me not to tell,
cause he doesn't want a case.

I tell myself not to cry,
cause it might mess up my mascara,
I tell myself not to tell,
cause I don't want people to see my crooked tiara.
All of the memories came crashing
in like a wave
I reached my arms out to
         grab them
                 to catch them
                         and hold them close
but I ended up drowning...

Poets born and die
with every stroke of the pen-
so live fast, write young

"across the room
chained up in his imagination
they had spent a lifetime together
by the time she said 'hello"
came to drown myself
in your ocean- yet all you
gave was a puddle
Sa higpit ng iyong mga pagkapit,
nais ko sanang magtanong ng “bakit?”
ngunit labi ay di makapagsalita, na tila ba ang dila ay naipit at napilipit.
Ayaw ko pa sanang tuluyang mapalapit,  
dahil baka sa huli, ito'y magdulot ng sakit;
ngunit kung sakaling mga damdamin ay di na mapigilang
magkalapit,
samahan nati’y ayaw ko sanang magdulot ng pait,
at mabigat na pasakit.

It was that day when I can strongly feel your hands holding mine. From your sweetest words and intimate eye contact, I can't help but to feel that sparks between us.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind these feelings for you if we'll just end up having that bitter and sour feelings for each other.

Let's just keep it this way. This is the only way I know to keep you closer next to me.

You are the Sun
In an absence of light.
But soon you will be absent
And I shall be blind.
Note to self: Stay strong. He won't be gone long, but it’ll feel longer if you don't keep your head up.
Still working on those old poems.
