Finished
Ysa Pa May 2015
Glaring up the sky
Wondering how and why
Life just leaves things unanswered
Laughter was the only thing I uttered

Reminiscing the beginning
From something so special, now nothing
What was I doing?
What could I have been thinking?

All those precious words, now make no sense
Crying so hard, hoping my heart would be cleansed
How could I have been so dense?
My time was wasted on this "nonsense"

Now as this poem comes to an end
I learned my lesson that life sent
Move on and don't dwell in the past
And accept that my fairy tale finished at last...

You Swore (12w)
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
You wholeheartedly say
Come what may
Vowing to stay
You left anyway
Let a stanza be enough
To sum it all up

Pain in 12w
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
The man who can never be mine


And


The girl left behind
I don't think that there's anything left to say...
617 · May 2015
It just came to me
Ysa Pa May 2015
I've memorized the look of your back
As you held my hand, moving forward with life
I've memorized the look of your back
Letting go and leaving me, moving forward with your life
I'm supposed to be asleep by now hahah it's 3am where I'm from and I just can't get him out of my mind. How he looked walking away from me. I just stood there staring at him walk away. And now I'm staring at the ceiling and still seeing him walking away


Just wanted to share... Hoping that ill be able to walk away from the flashbacks

I smiled back (:
Ysa Pa May 2015
The galaxy
The stars
The planets
The earth
The continents
A country
A city
A crowd
A person in that crowd
A pair of eyes
A pair of eyes that were staring back
And *the smile that was given
The moment when our eyes locked...

If you knew?
Ysa Pa May 2016
Sitting on the bathroom floor
Getting drizzled by a substitute for rain
I'm scrubbing my unclean wounds
In the hope of washing away the pain

Finally leaving the lavatory
I felt the electronically generated frosted air
I turned on the lights
No one was there

I moved to the bed
Where the pillows lie
As I tuck myself to sleep
I started to wonder why

Caressing my face
With a damp cloth
No tears fell
But who would have thought

As I learned the meaning of
The word treachery
In the dark
You abandoned me

I can't believe that it's you whom I used to write for
And if ever you knew
Of the countless words and that I'm still writing more
What would you do?

Open Hands
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Giving a day for a selfless endeavor
Exercising charitable behavior
Immersing oneself for the sake of others
One would realize that love doesn't need to hurt

As we rode a bus to our immersion
In order to fulfill our assigned mission
We filled our heads with aims and goals
And prepared our hearts for the necessary roles

Arriving at our destination
It was near to what we've envisioned
To be able to visit not once but twice
We hope that we were able to suffice

Teaching the children and learning as well
I believe that we've gained more from our 'clientele'
We learned much more as we gave our all
We've gained their smiles as we gave so small

We've taught and given educational materials
But what really lasts are the ideals
I just hope that we gave them what they needed
I hope that all good seeds have been planted

To be able to touch lives and influence
It was worth all the expense
And to receive their smile
Truly makes it worth the while

Allotting time for the children's needs
Is a way for positivity to breed
Having open hands to let children hold
We've not only touched hearts but we've also mold

Spreading love and blessings
Gives one an irreplaceable feeling
To be able to help children
Is something we'd gladly do again

Favorite Mistake
Ysa Pa Jun 2017
You cradled me in your arms
Cuddling the moon away
With each ticking second gone
This is where I'd love to stay

You gave me your eyes
Your un-faltered gaze
The usual you
Vanquishing worries of my days

Messing up your weave
I played with your hair
You were just staring
Silently sitting there

Comfortable but still heavy
A moment of silence...
Lost all control, broke the breaks
Followed by a moment of weakness

You were my favorite kiss
I've felt the warmness from you
The softest I've ever encountered
The hardest to say goodbye to

Everyone held me in the same manner
Holding me with force and desperation
Held me as if begging me to stay
Clutching me without care nor consideration

Your hands were different
You were piecing my soul together
You held me unlike those before you
You held me in a way I've only now encountered

I've felt like the most fragile being
The most important glass in the universe
You were careful and gentle with force
As if frightened that I'd shatter

But you still tried so ever to hold me
In your hands, to keep me with you
For the longest time you possibly could
For the longest that time allowed you to

We could never be and we both knew
As we exchanged laughter, painful smiles
Inexplainable looks and unforgettable gazes
We did something wrong that felt right for a while

A bid of farewell
Exchanging apologies
I encrypted behind my smile
Words which you'll never hear from me

Words unheard but undoubtedly felt
Despite of your warnings, we both knew
Regardless of the distance you tried to maintain
I still carelessly fell for you

You are my favorite kiss
Twas the most wonderful
I've ever felt in a long time
Yet, the most painful

Ending without a beginning
Overwhelmed by what ifs that I'll never forget
With your back turned towards me
You became this favorite mistake that I'll never regret
I promise you. This is the last one I'll ever write while thinking of you

A Few Requests
Ysa Pa May 2015
If you may give me permission
To ask and to give reason
I would gladly take the opportunity
To give me a bit of jubilee

As I do my best
To fulfill my quest
I only have a few requests
To my life's guests

It is not to treat me nice,y
Nor to treat me horridly
It is to treat me how they wish to be treated
Whether its with disregard or respect

If you treat me how you wish
Then I shall return the favor
But if you dare mess with me
Just imagine the resulting horror

If you are doing something
Wake it worthwhile
Whatever is happening
Put on a smile

Value each moment
Because all things end
Learn to love and to forgive
In life, good things must be conceived

Most importantly
Is to please remember me
Because I would never forget you
Even if time goes beyond infinity

X Variable
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
We were definitely something
We are this unlabeled and undefined mess
We had a relationship worth dreaming
There was no 'us' but we had realness

What we had was called almost
We shared what people desire
We tried to last with our outmost
But distance extinguished the fire

We had what some envied
We were perfectly unlabeled and unknown
We were bulletproof but we still bleed
I wasn't yours and I couldn't call you my own

What do I call you, how do I explain us?
You're my ex something, my ex almost, my ex unstable
My ex unnamed, my ex unknown, my ex anonymous
To put it simply, since we are undefined, you are my "x variable"

Reclaim
Ysa Pa Feb 2017
During the brief moment
Of utmost vulnerability
The end of fairy tale kisses
Marking the era of a cruel reality

With the intention of shattering
You came, caressing the scars
With glimpses of desperation
And envying the collision of stars

With my inability to hinder
Your plans to have mine stolen
During my reconstruction of walls
You planned out the forbidden

You acted, without a shred of doubt
I responded, through utter loss
Now that its ended, I still can't believe
That what I warned others of, happened to us

Her
Ysa Pa Mar 2016
Her
My darling songbird
My beloved thrush
Whose name, my favorite word
Whose demeanor is plush
Coated with elegance
She paves the seas
As she performs her dance
My demons appease
Whose voice is serenity
Overpowering the storms
Whose love is unmeasured artistry
Whose touch is an invisible form
Whose care knows no bounds
Whose eyes are unlike any other
Whose arms are the safest ground
She's the lady, whom I call mother

Rain~
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
People see it as a symbol of distress
A sign of weakness
A representation of sadness
An equivalent to loneliness

But considering reality
It's full of irreplaceable memories
Wether happy or the opposite
It is full of life and spirit

These are songs from the sky
Hymns from up above
Rhythm from way up high
A manifestation of true love

Rain.
Pouring rain.

Unafraid of falling
Not frightened of crying
Willing to keep pouring
Real emotions are showing

When the world is overwhelmed  and can't take anymore
With the hatred and pain that humans store
It cries in our behalf
It tears up just enough

In order to wash at least part of our load
To make sure our hearts don't corrode
It releases our grief
And showers us with belief

Since the rain cries for our sorrow
Shouldn't we at least wear a smile, a beaming glow?
It weeps for us, to release our pain
The least we can do, is to smile in behalf of rain

Would You?
Ysa Pa May 2016
All I wanted was
For you to do a task
To find my heart, uncover it
Find my heart then break it

Not to cut it in half, or in two
I wanted it shattered by you
Turn it to dust and to sand
I want it pulverized by your hand

Because I believed in the concept of
To be broken, one must first be loved
Not pretentious but to be loved truly
And so, I wanted you to break me

I want something worth experiencing
A painful love that's earth shattering
I wouldn't feel pain if it was untrue
So it would be an honor to be broken by you

I know that this would lead to scrutinizing eyes
But they don't understand so let them criticize
I would be willing to hurt and to agonize
For something not enveloped by lies

For the realness that everyone craves for
For the hypnotic truth I adore
I hereby permit you to demolish my walls
I ask you to destroy me with your all

To turn what's whole into smithereens
To turn into ashes what's pure and clean
To pulverize and disintegrate what I treasure
To break me, I grant you the right and power

But before all of that blood thirst
You need to locate my heart first
Find my heart in the deepest ravines
Find what has yet to be seen

Swim through the abyss of my lost thoughts
Gain what no one else was able to sought
Pass through the labyrinth of my soul
Tear down my defenses, penetrate my walls

Locate my heart and once you do
Feel free to break me because I've fallen for you

How do people call you?
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
I'm forgetful
I scarcely remember the names of people I encounter
You did everything to make me remember yours
You have me pleasant experiences
Which I can warmly recall
But
You also left painful memories
That instilled your name in my being
I'm forgetful
I vaguely remember the names of people
But you,
You.
No matter how hard I try to forget
I will always remember
Your name
And
*How you made mine sound so special

Distractions
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
The dimmed sky, but no sign of rain
The ticking watch signaling rush hour
Being compressed in an overpopulated train
The heavy traffic composed of horsepower
The deadlines to meet and the  city's commotion
The crowded streets like scattered jigsaw
My missing glasses and blurry vision
And the sight of you that **I still saw

Still
Ysa Pa Mar 2016
One word, a single syllable
Five letters, short but powerful
Simple definitions
With hidden connotations
Carrying multiple meanings
A word, secretly beautiful and beguiling
It may pertain to static photographs
Allotted for promotional stuff
It can refer to a purification machine or distillery
It may indicate silence, calmness and serenity
It’s commonly described as to devoid from motion
Abstaining from movement or action
But the definition I most love
Is “IN SPITE OF”
“Existing before and continuing into the present”
Stillness oozes with something desirable and pleasant
There is no complete explanation
It should be used to describe devotion
It is a concrete representation
Of one’s love and passion

In spite of everything that has been and will
*I still…
Ysa Pa Feb 2017
Scribbling the thoughts away again
Finding the perfect combination
Of symbolisms and phrases
To create the perfect  illustration
Something to represent
With conciseness and ambiguity
The earth shattering well of emotions
Which you made me go through daily
From too good to be true
Till unlivable complications
I've compared you to pixie dust
Dragon's breath and volcanic eruptions
I've likened what we had to
Child like wonder, make believe, bright eyes
Bed time stories, the attic ghost
Rainbows, unicorns and stormy skies
I kept writing
To preserve what once was perfect
And to release what I can no longer carry
Something which we failed to protect
I've told exactly what happened
In a way that only you would know
I've written so many similar lines
Titled differently just for show
I've promised to stop
To stop writing for you
Yet here I am again
Without anything else to do
With stanzas you'll never read
And proses you'll never hear from me
No more stories, just plain words
Plain final words I hope, no more fantasies
I loved you, I might still do
But what used to be in is almost out
I'm tired, exhausted really, and I've had enough
I loved you, finally my ink is running out
The page filled up with scribbles
Full but empty at the same time
When ink no longer poured out
And words no longer rhymed
I exhaled, finally breathing again
I ran out of words but I'll keep writing
Writing till I don't know when
It may be unbelievable
But it's long overdue
To say that those future metaphors
Will no longer be for you
Unsent letter

CAUTION: DO NOT CROSS
Ysa Pa Jul 2017
Can touch but never hold
May look but shouldn't stare
Do value but don't cherish
I can worry but never care
A bit selfish but not greedy
A whisper never a screech
Known not acknowledged
Near but not within reach
Never enough meaning
To possibly ever define
How close and beside me
But was and is never mine
The effort I used to cross
Beaten by efforts to further refine
As I tried breaking and pursuing
You kept strengthening the line
504 · Mar 2016
Drunk
Ysa Pa Mar 2016
With your touches
My skin ignites
In your clutches
We made memories that night

The feeling of your lips
Carved onto my nape
As my fingertips
Traced your shape

I felt your breath
Your whisper of air
I didn't think of death
As you played with my hair

You were vulnerable
Honest, clingy and warm
You were unstable
You were like a storm

I felt the warmth of another
Through your embrace
Cozy turned to bother
Because of your gaze

You stared at mine
With those burning eyes
I knew in my mind
That your words are nothing but lies

You professed your passion
You spoke of love and devotion
You declared your affection
I'm afraid that its been heard by the wrong person

If only you were mine
And those words were for me
Then everything would've been fine
And I would have the right to be happy

As our hands intertwined
We bid adieu to night
You were momentarily mine
As we welcomed tomorrow's light

Thanks for the momentary happiness
That you won't even remember
Because during that lonely night
You were drunk and I was sober

From a Distance
Ysa Pa May 2015
His blackish hair
His deep eyes with that devilish stare
That crazy smile that I can't forget
This empty feeling knowing he would never care

A person I can't seem to ignore
A guy that made me sore
That happy fellow that no one could possibly despise
And the only reason behind my sighs...

I know the little things that make him laugh
I know how he looks when his day was rough
I know when he's just acting all tough
And I know that I'm not the one he'll love

To him I am probably invisible
Someone replaceable and dispensable
But for me...
He's the only one I ever see

I notice every tiny detail that he is
Those little things that make me feel like this
If only he fell for my smile like I did for his
Then everything would be in a state of bliss

He's the reason I wrote this, my inspiration
To think it all started when he smiled at my direction
And ever since that instance
I started *loving him from a distance
On the verge of getting there
I ALMOST made it...

Kindled
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
A flare too risky to hold
A flame too hot for the coldest of the cold
A blaze unable to be glanced upon
A ludicrous conflagration
A spark too absurd to illuminate
A burn too dangerous to reciprocate
An ignited too deadly too recall
An incineration that ends all
An inflamed too painful to understand
An inferno too impossible to withstand
A meaningless and lifeless torch
A hopelessly cold and unfeeling scorch
Those are all the fires I knew
Then I encountered a fire that's true
I got too used to heat that I forgot
The difference between warmth and hot
You introduced a fiery fervor
I learned of a feverish ardor
Now that I have fallen in love so selfishly
To use your fire fueled by ardency
To warm up my heart that's burned and icy
Will you allow me?
486 · Jun 2016
Unstated
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Which is more painful?
The lie told or the truth hidden?
The reality unknown of
Or the reality believed in?

To say you've forgotten
But secretly reminisce what has past
Or when there is no presence of love
But still trying to make us last

To bid a forced farewell
When desperately wanting to stay
Or to remain together
Where everything's black, white and gray

The hurtful unmeant words
That carelessly slips
Or what needed to be heard
That's kept behind those lips

Let me ask you again
When asked about you and I
Which is more painful?
The unheard truth or the stated lie?

Which is more painful to be heard
And more painful to be spoken?
Forced to say you don't when you still do
Or forced to say you do when you no longer can?

What answer shall I say?
What answer shall I hear?
If asked about our love,
Which pain should I fear?

Jump
Ysa Pa May 2015
Standing at the edge of a cliff
People surround you

One tells you to jump

Another tries to convince you not to

Then there's a person who'll push you

There's another who'll try to stop you from falling,
By clinging on to your arm

There's a person waiting at the bottom of the cliff,
Waiting to catch you

Then there's the person
Whose the reason why you're jumping




And then...
There's an unexpected person
Who'll *jump with you
There are different kinds of people in your life... You just need to figure out who is whom.

This is something I realized after an incident... I just wanted to share ^-^

An Invitation
Ysa Pa May 2016
Walk with me
Atop the bridges
That we set ablaze
Which will burn through ages

Walk with me
In this world of souls
In this library of memories
In this path with cracks and holes

Walk with me
As we listen to what has been created
To the cries and laughs
Which we composed and orchestrated

Walk with me
In this museum of art
That displays the mosaics
Of the abstractness of our hearts

Walk with me
Atop the shattered pieces
The unfixed broken parts
That would remain perfect as is

Pending Title
Ysa Pa May 2015
Walking along a straight paved path
Underneath the autumn trees
As the amber leaves began to fall
I recalled when I first felt this breeze

Glancing upon the orange dyed sky
I got reminded of what has been
Memories of you and I
Which are better left forgotten and unseen

I continued strolling...
Not knowing where I might wander off
Then I saw an old tire swing
Where the melody of love first begun to sing

I went to the picnic grove
Where we had our first lunch
Remember how we watched the afternoon turn to nigh?
We were in so much trouble, but it felt so right

Remember our mahogany tree?
The one that's all alone but looks so happy
Do you remember what you told me?
You promised that I'm the girl you'll marry

Yes, we were young, childish and silly
But I kind of took it seriously
We were kids and eventually grew up
I thought what we had was more than enough

Like our love the paved path didn't go on forever
I reached the end where our dreams withered
Strolling, the last stop I made
Was at the garden of lilies where all the promises had fade

I journey back on the path...
The path we used to walk on together
It felt a lot colder
And somewhat warmer

To cut it short, we didn't walk forever
We realized in the end we were on different roads
Now that my flashback is over
I walk the same path again with a new hand to hold
Well what I realized is that... It's alright if you and your significant other are walking on different paths. What matters is that both of you are looking and are heading towards the same direction ^-^

Twilight
Ysa Pa Mar 2018
Chasing after images of the sun
Running after its rays and warmth
I paused and decided to gaze closely
To observe and bask at its fading beauty

Stare before the light disappeared
There was nothing else to be done
Than to observe till the heart's content
Savor every lasting unequaled moment

An attempt to capture and to remember
All the precious details and colors
To watch the departure of the fading sun
To look before you're completely gone

Risk~
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
Those words which carelessly slips
As if natural, through those lips
How dare you so nonchalantly
Say the words 'I love you' to me
Your words have stricken me
Giving me delight and vulnerability
You're safe yet so dangerous
You make me eager and nervous
Every moment with you is an adventure
Bringing out my weakness yet making me secure
I love how you're confusing and exciting
Also how you're incomprehensibly enticing
But I fear my vulnerability
And your complete unpredictability
You're capable of leaving me broken and sore
I love risks but I've never been like this before
Entrusting myself is terrifying
Because of this present longing
For your reassurance that you'll stay
That you'll stand by, 'come what may'
I despise the idea of vulnerability
But the thought of losing you kills me
So permit me to get used to and be addicted
To the feeling of being vulnerable and protected
Be my strength and be a man of your word
Mean the 'I love you' that's unlike anything I've already heard

'us'
Ysa Pa May 2016
Our time in a daze, heated in ice
Unheated but warm as our hands intertwined
Uncovering paradox from those eyes
Hypnotized by what's momentarily mine

Paused in our own time, frozen in heat
In the cold and wrapped in your embrace
Presence of victory but a hint of defeat
I saw shadows faintly dance on your face

All the stars and moon soon out of sight
The singing of clouds, the crying sun
Painted and decorated by morning light
Not losing what was already gone

And while the foggy morning sky
Enveloped and dyed the entire room blue
Along with our false belief and pretentious lie
We had a solid and unpaintable scarlet hue

Salted Rain
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
The windows of her soul can
Vanish all the galaxies known to man
Her enticing windows are
The envy of all the stars
The birthplace of dreams
The comforter of screams
Hers are windows that captures
All of the moon's glow and raptures
Containing both shadows and daylight
Illuminating the darkest of midnight
More alluring than a sky unexplored
But at that night, the sky it poured

Loosely Tied
Ysa Pa Sep 2017
Tied into twists and knots
To loosen up, it dared not
Looped and suffocated as it is
But it didn't begin like this
Gently intertwined then suddenly
It became tied and tangled tightly
Some knew this might happen
It was only a matter of when
Either the knots would loosen
Or the objects would end up broken
But it was unforeseen when it came
Unforeseen but hoped for the same
The winding knot that was strangled
Is now, untangled

Perfect
Ysa Pa May 2015
A dream that existed in reality
Now lies only in my memory
A happy ending that never came
And I'm the only one to blame

Everything was perfect but in an instance
We woke up and grew distant
Everytime we meet, I receive this glare
So filled with hatred, so cold and without care

My heart is crowded with regret
Because of all the things left unsaid
Seems that you've had forgotten all the memories
He previous laughter,meow giving me tears

A dream lived in reality
Started and ended with you and me
Now that our dream was left for dead
I realize now what I should've said instead

All I wish to do is apologize
And hope to vanquish the anger in your eyes
I would do anything to once again see your smile
And remind you that we were perfect even just for a little while

At Last~
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
A lightning array of seductive words
A thunderous momentum which I've heard
With your each exhale, sound escapes
As I inhale your words, the meaning resonates

Wandering for so long, I wasn't lost
Walking atop boundaries of the uncrossed
I wasn't lost but was somehow found
By the overwhelming resonance of your sound

With all the energy I have yet to exhaust
And with these cold hands that need to defrost
My ink gratifies what has been and what has passed
That someone spoke what I needed to hear at last

The me that could~
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Every time, my eyes becomes aware
Of your existence, whenever you're there
I get flashbacks, I faintly remember
Our precious love, our faded ember

I recall the bittersweet laughter
I reminisce the times we're together
But let me correct those false thoughts
There is no dramatic rekindling onslaught

It's not that I still love you
It's that you remind me of what's true
It's not because I'm dwelling in the past
It's because I feel like my own outcast

The sight of you reminds me of back then
You trigger memories of me when
I could still love wholeheartedly
I remember the past loving me

Every time I see you, I recall who I was
I get flashbacks of this person of the past
The me back then who knew of love
The me before who could still love

The me who could love without worries
Without doubts and cannot be seized
The me who's unafraid of being hurt
The me who has nothing to avert

The me who loved you wholeheartedly
The me who I remember whenever it's you I see
I no longer love you but I love the me who previously could
I love the me that gets reminded by  who turned me to couldn't

Aurora

She was exhausted but continued.
As she battled her demons
She suffered like an aurora
Brightening the coldest of regions

Unwarm and surrounded by ice
Her overpowering resilience resonates
And while immersed in shadows
Her unyielding strength illuminates

She was scarred and bruised
Overwhelmed by her darkness
She was a cold and painful sight
But beautiful nonetheless

Was
Ysa Pa Sep 2018
Was
Without asking for it
I gave you the key
An item you never used
An item I gave willingly
To welcome you in
I swung the door open
Making home vulnerable to thieves
So much was lost and stolen
None of which were taken by you
But still you robbed me clean
In a way you didn't know
You didn't even step within
So, I changed the lock
Even added a chain
Finally closing the door
The stolen, replaced and regained
The house was safe and secure
And valuable once more
Everything was perfectly in order
Then, you came knocking at the door

Unrestrained
Ysa Pa Jul 2017
Within defiled waters
Shedding raven tears
Alive through tainted blood
What else could one fear
Carrying a cerulean heart
Wielding neither sword nor bow
Wearing arrows and daggers
Dancing amidst the fiery snow
With eyes of burning crimson
Soul as calm as the stormy sea
With unwavering courage and hope
Enough to make the mountains flee
She spoke with a voice, that of a child
A child of war, a child who is king
Making the skies and stars tremble
Statues weep, and the forests sing
Ominous but casts no shadow
Harmless with menace as counterpart
She was the musician, the writer and the artist
As she was the song, the lines and the art

I lied
Ysa Pa Aug 2015
We were happy
Then we weren't anymore
I got over you
I forgot the feelings of fondness
I buried the memories
I moved on
I let you go
I didn't talk to you
Didn't text you
Messaged or emailed you
Called you
Or met up with you
Heck, I didn't even think about you
You never crossed my mind
I forgot your little mannerisms
I removed your entire existence from my life
I was okay
I was coping up
I was healed
Or so I thought...
It was just a normal day
The usual everything
Then we accidentally bumped into each other
With your wide eyes
The usual smile
And with your voice
Through your lips
You uttered my name
Exactly how you used to
And just hearing the sound of your voice
Say my name
Everything
Every single thing
The tiniest details
Came gushing into me
Overflowing in my mind
Overwhelming my heart
And I lost control
I thought I forgot
No...
I wished that I had forgotten
But I haven't
I do miss you
Every little thing about you
And every tiny detail that makes you... You
I was okay
Or so I believed...
Nobody makes my name sound like how you say it
Who would have thought that just one random fateful second
Would send me back to square one
I will extract you from my life once more
And hope that I never hear you say my name again
I told you that i don't love you anymore
... I lied

Taciturnly Rectify
Ysa Pa Dec 2016
With touches instead of words
Gently clinging to what would be lost
Unbroken gazes and absolute reticence
A softly given painful kiss, no matter the cost

The presence of doubt is inexistent
Turning backs as they exhaled
As the air cradled silence, they both knew
Thus the hearts are no longer ailed

Their proximity widened and widened
Neither looking back nor slowing down
Getting stronger while falling apart
No longer will their weary souls drown

They caught someone else's shooting star
Although previously perfect, they had to learn
It's better to hurt than to keep running with torches
Whose fire have flames that no longer burn
(Taciturnly = silently; Rectify = correct; Silently Correct)

Make way for another break-up poem ^-^

I wonder
Ysa Pa Apr 2016
As a blanket of previously warm darkness envelopes the earth
Wearing the overused sweater that lost your scent
Gripping the damp unwashed handkerchief
I wonder
That maybe
Another universe exists
A parallel world
An alternate reality
Wherein
Everything in this existence
Is also present there
But a little different
That in that reality
Nothing was broken
Nothing needed fixing
Or what broke
Was fixed on time
I wonder
That maybe
In that parallel reality
There's an alternate 'me'
Happily saying 'us' and 'we'
Maybe in that parallel world
Nothing was broken
While I'm here wondering
What happened.

Xenophile
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Xenophile not xenophobic
The strange attraction to
Foreign people or culture
Something or someone new

Unordinary experiences
Different emotions
New everything and
Unusual expressions

I've been introduced to
A different way of living
I'm now attracted to
This kind of loving

So much has changed
Ever since you came
Thanks to you
I'm no longer the same

My fetish isn't generally
For everything foreign or new
My strange attraction is for
Everything about you

You've made experience
Things that I never knew
Everything about you
Is refreshing and new

Your stare, your words
Your laughter, your smile
Your touch, your everything
Turned me into a xenophile

Specific and Vague
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
You hate roses and bouquets, saying they're too typical
But you're in love with white lilies
You loved chocolates but hated getting those as gifts
You liked oversized long-sleeves, sweaters, hoodies and jackets
You said it made you feel small and the world suddenly gets bigger
Love sunrises but can't wake up to watch it
Love sunsets because of everything about it but the sun
Love the night but hate darkness
Love mornings but can't open eyes because its too bright
Love sound but musically-declined
Love violins but cry when hearing it
Love water but as extreme as fire
Loved the midnight blue
But you're more of a maroon red
You're fearless and full of strength
But afraid of being powerless
You don't know how to love
But you loved me perfectly
You were afraid of love
But that was the air you breathe
Insecure but so sure
You are ambiguously specific
You are also explicitly vague
That was why I chose you
And I think that was why you stayed

Absolution
Ysa Pa Mar 2018
I've always wanted to kiss
A stranger, if ever I could.
But, I made a vow to myself
A promise that I never would
Turns out, I already did.
I kissed you.
A man;
Whom I thought I knew.

Retaliation
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Realizing for the first time
That I indeed had a heart,
My heart thumped.
I felt it,
It was unlike anything before.
But it was too late
As I realized...
My heart was slowly,
Painfully,
Mercilessly,
Being pulled out of me.
Once out,
Knowing how fragile it was
They held it with care.
Then,
When I gave my trust
My heart was torn.
It was torn right in front of me.
As the helpless unknowing me
Watched it being teared,
I hear their laughter
Overpowering my cries.
As my heart became nothing
More than smithereens,
I watched them gather the pieces
Pretending to hand it back.
As I reached for it
They simply discarded it
And threw the remains...

While cringing my teeth
Trying as much as I can
And forcing to breathe
To be able to stand again
With nothing to lose
And everything to gain
I will redeem myself
I will retaliate this pain

What if?
Ysa Pa May 2015
The what ifs that we ask
Are the things we had no courage to do...

I could have said hello
But I was scared
I could have said yes
But I was afraid
I could have stopped you from leaving
But I was terrified
I could have ran away with you
But I was appalled
I could have fought for you
But I was cowardly
I could have done something
But I was horrified
I could have hold on to you
But I was timorous
I could have made you stay
But I was frightened
I could have told you I loved you
But I was craven
I could have made you mine
But I didn't

**what if I did?
I read a quotation but I can't remember who said it... But it goes something like

We regret the things we didn't do...

And yeah... I really do regret doing nothing.

As I wait
Ysa Pa Jun 2016
Together, I knew we're unfit
Don't worry, I didn't ask for it
Yes i know, we aren't meant to be
I'm not asking for you to love me
Im not asking you to listen or to care
I'm not asking you to always be there
I'm not asking you to open your doors
For you to let me, is all I'm asking for
Let me. Allow me to love you.
Let me. Allow me to care for you.
Permit me to stay by your side
With you, consent me to reside
Let nothing be ruined or change
Let us not be distant or be strange
I accept that we aren't meant to be
I'm never going to ask you to love me
But as I wait for whoever I'm destined for
Let me. Allow me to love and care for you more.

I'd Love
Ysa Pa May 2015
I'd love you every far, every moment, every night
I'd love you even if the sun doesn't shine
If love you even more, every time the moon passes by
I'd love you as much as the stars in the sky
I'd love you when you're up
I'd love you when you're down
If love to wild away that frown
I'd love you when you're far
I'd love you when you're near
I'm not leaving so there's no room for fear
I'd love to hold your hand
I'd love to take your time
I'd love to be the one
I'd love to call you mine


*If only you were mine...
