One Wish
I will tell you this because, I know I can't stay;
I was too early, the both of you cannot sway.
The motions of your young adult life;
Your plans for a family, as husband and wife.

I just have one wish, mommy, daddy;
Please, do not forget about me.
Don't forget that I was here, no matter how brief;
Live my life, full of love, not grief.

Sympatheia
Truth be told I cannot tell
why people, each and one another fail
to see the twinge, the strain of his neighbor,
by cause of conflicting beliefs and chosen leader

Whipped
Broken lyrics, I can not speak the words,
crushed poets, hope and love, long lost.
Explosion of the soul, effectively neutered,
why do you  restrict my so?

Salvation, from the start was naught,
caught in a trap, enticed by which I sought.
Lust, Greed and Pride reigned,
in your heart, nothing else is contained.

New God
Break the mold,
leave conformity behind
Bring total obliteration
to the fear of individuality.

Follow what makes your blood boil
Go ahead and set fire to your very soul
For in the ashes of your humdrum remains
Lies a new god, bent under your will

I Burned my Tongue Once
I burned my tongue once
praising the saints of Men,
For they have provided but a scarlet letter
to the strongest of sexes.

Abyss
I endured the darkness
hoping to see stars,
But all I saw is the Abyss
and it is staring back.

Coma
Deep sleep, my body's rigid, unwavering,
peering unto the abyss, staring back
Undeterred, resolution unmatched,
I will escape the prison of my mind

Devil
Peace escapes me,
immaculate I am not.
Demons plague the darkness,
no light can reach the deep

Tyranny needs a foothold
and my soul wholly provided.
All that is left is me,
For I am the Devil in the White City

Belo
Ako ngayo'y nakatayo, naghihintay,
hindi mapakali, buong puso'y nakaantabay.
Sa pagbukas ng dalawang pinto sa dulo, sa hangganan,
lahat ng tao, nakaabang, tayong dalawa'y magkahagkan.

At sa wakas heto na nga,
sa umaalon **** belo ako'y napahanga.
Aking mga mata, patak ng luha'y di mapigilan,
ngiti at galak ko'y walang mapaglagyan.

Sa harap ng diyos, mahal, ako'y nangangako,
parehong saya at hirap, tayong dalawa ang aako.
Ikaw lamang at wala nang iba,
Hanggang ang apoy ng buhay ay hindi na maglinga.

Sun
Sun
He looked at her like she was the sun,
in that, he never looked at her except in frustration.
Basking in her warmth; complaining in its absence,
still, looking at her fails his minute admiration.

On days when she feels strong, he hid
on moments that she is muted, infuriating.
He never looked, that he never did
not until she was already leaving.

And in the crimson landscape that she had left behind,
the beautiful sunset, burning the oceans of yore
With a pang of regret from the back of his mind
He wondered, why he had never seen her before

Little Prick
You are the thorn on my side,
the little ***** inside the skin of my thumb.
You are that constant pain in my neck,
that won't disappear even if I crack it numb.

I hate you with every fiber of my being,
not a day goes by without my life left ruined.
You annoy the ******* **** out of me,
But I just can't seem to set myself free.

Nalunod na
Hindi na ako makahinga,
pinipilit ang sariling bumangon.
Nasa ilalim ng mabigat na bunga,
ng aking mga pagkakamaling naglaon.

Natatakot, nangangamba,
sa pagsilang ng umaga.
Sa hudyat nitong kasama, laging dala,
ang siklo ko'y muli nang nagsimula.

Lalaban, lalarga, makikibaka,
sa alon ng buhay, mabagal, nalunod na.
Ngunit nang mata'y nagkasalubong, nagkita,
aksidente nga ba o matamis na tadhana.

Sa pagitan ng pawis at dugo at luha
ng mga tao na ngayon tayo ay nasa gitna.
Mayroon ako, ikaw, gustong ipahiwatig,
pero pareho tayo, boses, napatid.

Pagkakataon lumisan na,
ikaw ang nauna, ako'y nasakal ng pangamba.
Muling sinubukan, ipagtagpo ang mga mata,
hindi kita malilimutan.
