Am I Not Beautiful Too?
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Let words be spoken, let the truth be told
That i am more than a masterpiece an artist can mould
I give life to a barren place as i flow through
So this i ask of you, am i not beautiful too?

I keep you fresh, and cool, and hydrated all day
I make you stop and stare in awe as i lay
I stop at nothing and flow eternally to provide for you
But still, do i make you wonder, am i not beautiful too?

I’ve been patient, i’ve been considerate, i’ve been kind
Despite such evil, i’ve stayed true to humankind
I’ve stood by you as faithful, as loyal, abd as true
Hoping you’ll see my worth, my dear, am i not beautiful too?

My body is burning, my blood turns black
Your love and affection is what i sorely, desperately lack
My fate now depends on the simple and intricate things you do
Answer me please, i beg of you, am i not beautiful too?

Different
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Its always a wee bit different when i’m with you
You put my heart at ease darling, oh yes its true
You light up my life like the sun that shines by day
Oh you are my moon and stars as some may say

My heart seems to skip a beat everytime you are near
Oh and when you talk, oh god, its all i want to hear
Even a glimpse of you gives me a smile i cannot hide
You get me into dilemmas to which its hard to decide

You make me feel different that it solves my heart’s desire
You check all the boxes that my basis of standards require
You make me want to love, and love only you
You make me want to go back to the past and leave everything new

My tongue gets twisted, even for one so sly
You keep me at bay, not even wanting to try
So chain me down, for i dont want to be free
Oh my darling, you really do bring out a different side of me
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Every time I faced adversity, you were always there
Even when I was at my worst, you never ceased to care
You’ve always had my back many times before
And even tho I sometimes forget, we were always brothers once more

We’ve always had our fair share of ups and downs
We’ve had the happiest smiles and the most sordid frowns
Heck, we even exchanged fists, kicks, spits and more
But at the end of the day, we were always brothers once more

We’ve traveled far and we reached for the stars
oh I remember how we tumbled down, fell short, and earned them scars
Life was our playground, we played ‘till we’re sore
And when we had regrets, yes, we were always brothers once more

Now the time has come when you’ve reach the hour
And everything that was sweet has turned to sour
And tho I know you’re happy as you walk by heaven’s door
I’ll still miss you syril, we will always be brothers once more.
In loving memory of my dearest friend Syril Erik B. Saba

Oh yee with Heavy Hearts
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Oh yee with heavy hearts, look on high
Don’t lose a step as life will pass you by
Oh yee with heavy hearts, who mourns and cries
Dry your tears, an angel looks upon you from the skies

Oh yee with heavy hearts, life must go on
Leave out the dusk, and bring in the dawn
Oh yee with heavy hearts, go forth and seize the day
And before you know it, the pain has gone away

Oh yee with heavy hearts, away with that blue
Go find the happiness you never thought you’d knew
Oh yee with heavy hearts, learn to let go
Learn to love a friend, and learn to forgive a foe

Oh yee with heavy hearts, do not sulk in pain
Accept the facts and be proud of the stain
Oh yee with heavy hearts, let our dear friend know
That we love him more than enough to accept that he had to go

Thats All that Matters
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
There are some things that i need answering
Some questions that you may find mean
Like when i should be out there gallivanting
Why do i keep myself looking upon a screen?

The world was mine for the taking, i was bold and free
But you’re the perfect reason why i tame the monster inside of me
I never settled, i took everything and left nothing behind
But why do i feel content and happy when you come across my mind?

Distance matters and we’re hundreds of miles apart
Yet its always been you at the center of my heart
I know its sad, i fight on every single day
Oh why do i take you seriously, not a game i used to play?

You bring out the best in me, for that i’m more than glad
But just when it feels so good, it hurts so bad
All these questions and i still dont have the answers
All i know is that i’m in love with you, and thats all that matters

Hopelessly Waiting
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Confused, alone, worn out, and *******
These are the words that describe my mood
Nothing seems to be working, not a single one
Problems continue to pile up, with no hope of being done

Day by day adversity comes passing by
Day by day my heart and soul continues to cry
Day by day i’m gradually wearing out
Day by day my spirit starts to rout

I cry, i gloom, i drown in sorrow
Knowing that nothing good will come tomorrow
I hope and pray that maybe someday
The sun will shine and drive the darkness away

Until then a cloud will hover above my head
And the darkness in my life will continue to spread
Sadness will fall like raindrops on a rainy day
And sorrow will consume me, and will be here to stay

Glass Cannon
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Forward march! As my mighty general screams
Load the guns, the cannons! Prepare the battle schemes!
Where is the glass cannon? Let it aim the sky
The glass cannon is ready sir! Let the foes prepare to die!

Fire now, fire all! Into the enemy lines we go!
Draw your swords, pierce the hearts of every foe
That crash and boom, is that the glass cannon i hear?
Yes sir! The glass cannon is covering us from the rear

Cut them down, let the foes scream in despair
Leave none alive, they are not worthy to spare
Oh sir! The glass cannon! The cracks are starting to show
Keep firing! **** them all! Care not if those cracks grow

Regroup to the glass cannon! My general cries out
Stand your ground, defend it! Think not of rout!
My general! A stone is thrown towards the cannon’s head!
Fear not cadet, it is worse to be taken alive than to be found dead

Note to Self
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Note to self; whether by accident or by your own design,
Always bear in mind that you'll be happier with time
Tough it out, take a breathe, and forget what was yesterday
Do something new, let go of the blue, and smile away

Note to self; be happy the way you want to be
Chase your dreams, live them out, dont wait and see
Take the risk, seize the moment, and get out of bed
Remember that home is behind, the world is ahead

Me, myself, and I, can brighten up the cloudiest day,
Me, myself, and I, will push through, come what may
And when someone says " I cant see you being happy on your own"
Note to self; true happines is felt, not shown.

So spread your wings, fly up, high into the sky
Live a phantasmagorical life well before you die
Let the judgers judge, and let the haters hate
Note to self; its my life to live, not theirs. Checkmate.

Sunshine
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
After years of dwelling inside an empty den
I never knew this heart of mine would love again
A ray of sunshine you are and in my heart you bring
A radiance that makes me glow like the fields of spring

Your smile warms me down, right thru the core
Your voice, oh your voice, it makes me love you even more
Your touch lights up the darkest shallows of my heart
You made me believe in love again, believe in a brand new start

The look in your eyes frees me up from a winter’s chill
The warmth of your embrace brings to me all kinds of thrill
You bring the bounce to my steps, you make me widen my smile
Oh little do you know i’ve never felt this way for a long, long while

Right between the eyes, you hit me with cupid’s arrow
Oh please love me today, and please love me tomorrow
Because just like sunshine, you turn night into day
And just like sunshine, i hope you’ll be here to stay

These are thy Vows
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
As you stood by the doors and walked down the aisle,
I've been holding my tears back, but did let go of a smile,
And with this ring I pledge thy vows to you,
All of which i'm certain and hopeful to hold true

With these lips, i'll spare no truth be told,
With these eyes, i'll only see you to be more precious than gold,
With these ears, i'll heed your words to heart,
With these hands, i'll craft only you, my staple art

With these feet, i'll follow you to the edge of tomorrow,
With these grasps, i'll hold you tight in times of sorrow,
With this strength, i'll carry you to the highest peak,
With this pride, i'll temper, for you, i shall become meek

With my thoughts, i'll think of you every single day,
With my heart, i'll love you with a love as it were in may,
With all that i am, i promise you, i'll give you my all,
For these are thy vows, i'll swear it now, i swear it all.

I Must Go
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
I'm sorry my friends, but i must depart
Thanks for the memories, they will be in my heart
I cared for you all, just so you may know
But our days are over now, the sun's getting low

And to you my sweet and loving queen,
Stay as lovely and perfect as you've always been
Kiss me now and hold me close for i'll miss you so
Remember me as i was, and may you let me go

My dearest siblings, i know i made you cry,
But all of it was necessary, i hope you'll know why
I loved you hard, i just did not show
Please be strong for me, don't let a tear flow

To my parents, i'm sorry, i've failed to make you proud,
You were the best in me, i just cant say it aloud
I'll say it now, as my hearty beats slow,
I love you mom and dad!, i'm sorry, i must go

A Final Dialogue
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
Here we are, by mind, by heart, by soul
With putrid thoughts as black as cole
You ask me;"was that it? Is it all over?"
"Yes, i think it is", i pretentiously answer

And in my mind i cry out the jolliest boons
But in my heart i sing the most sordid tunes
Then one day you ask; "how are you, my dear?"
"I'm alright, i'm happy" i answer with a tear

My pride had me believing i did the right thing
But deep down i lack the happiness only you can bring
"I miss you", oh i can still hear your heart whisper
"I miss you too" i cry out knowing we would've lasted forever

I know i'll regret this more than i ever could
And i know what i did was cold and unjust
But love comes in exactly as love should
And love leaves exactly as love must

Passenger seat
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
I wish i was there with you when it happened
Hoping and praying all wounds sustained would mend
I wish we could've joked around and tucked our belts tight
Oh how i wish i was in that passenger seat that night.

I wish i could've slowed you down, make you turn to the right
I wish i could've warned you ahead since i had clearer sight
I wish we could've had a few more bottles 'til we couldn't walk
Oh how i wish i was in that passenger seat, to slow you down with a talk

And if things panned out just as it was supposed to be
I wish we were together for the last time, you and me
I wish we would've gotten up from our beds and a few more drinks
Oh how i wish i was in that passenger seat, before reality sinks

I wish i could've picked you up from the street where you'd usually wait
And go on to the party listening to songs you love, but i hate
I wish i had dropped you home safely and say "cge sy"
Oh how i wish you were at my passenger seat, you wouldn't have to say goodbye.

Beauty in Nothingness
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
There is peacefulness in every random blank stare,
A sense of freedom, letting all things go bare,
There is calmness in the silence of the deep dark night,
Still like water thats unfazed by any might

There is serenity in the thoughts of nothing, how odd it may be,
Thoughts of nothing, yet changing phantasmagorically,
There is joy in the walks knowing not where the journey ends,
Thinking of nothing, taking each step without making amends,

There is fulfilment in the emptiness our mind succumb,
A feeling of achievement, no matter how dull, no matter how dumb,
There is glory in laying still and staying put,
Like a great centennial tree, ever so hard to uproot,

There is happiness in the stalemate of thoughts rushing through our mind,
A certain surge of enthusiasm for our daily grind,
There is beauty in nothingness, any mere man will confess,
There is beauty in nothingness, even the dead can attest

A Fond Farewell
Ethan Leo Mar 2019
The last leaf has fallen and all the birds have flown
And all that were once precious are now nothing but stone
I did my best, i did, yet it was all for naught
Now i’ll be laying lifeless, filled with doubt and distraught

I have taken action and now have to face whats ahead
I have decided now, that i’d be better off dead
My body is broken and my spirit is shattered
I have nothing more, no courage to be mustered

Oh i thank you, for your love, your patience, and for being considerate
And oh the will you gave me to go on and live, i greatly appreciate
I hope i made you all happy, even if its once in a while
I’m sorry if i made you cry, and i’m honoured to have made you smile

I have found peace though it is not in this life of mine
For i have realised what a fool i’ve been to have said “i’m fine”
I bid you goodbye now, i wish you all to be well
I’ll see you soon, but for now, this will be my fond farewell

— The End —
