The day that we met,
I felt a sudden change
I began to yearn
of tomorrow's uncertainty
I don't hate or love it,
but its new
nice and warm,
just like you

I thought you were everything
a man of greatness
is what I thought you were
but then as time passed by
flaws and conflicts emerged
the sweetness and adoration you gave
turned to pain and hate
the lies you spout
the promises you broke
the pain you gave
it haunts me til this day
the man I once looked up
is now below me
unmoving, cold and gone
gone to a somewhere
far away from here
leaving all the pain behind
no apology, no closure
just bitterness, smoke and ashes

here i am sitting, wasting my time
thinking of what words to use to describe
the scars you left, the blood i bled
how i felt when you left me behind

so i am still here sitting, wasting my time
thinking of reasons why you showed me your smile
the smile that gave me warmth every night
that suddenly became the beacon of my life

a blessing that was given
to the people who are certain
some are unwilling
but still received the blessing

a gift that will test your patience
filled with hardships and rewards
you'll struggle and ask questions
that hinders you to move forward

a blessing that can't be weigh with hardships and rewards
a gift that will give you meaning
a blessing that can be unexpected
a gift that prolongs our existences

bawat segundoy ako'y pinagmamasdan
para bang ayaw muna kong lubayan
bawat minuto ika'y takam na takam
sa lamang kong napakalinamnam

bakit ba ang tigas ng yong ulo
ang nakalagay ay tatlong minuto
ilang beses ka ba inere ng nanay mo
para matikmaan ang nasa loob ko

pagkaraan ng tatlong minuto
ako'y iyong binuksan
nilagay sa platitong pinatong sa pinggan
at dahan dahang hinihigup ang laman

sa bawat lunok na ginagawa
ika'y biglang napaluha
nakangiti at napatulala
binuhay ko ang katawang **** lupa

sa ating sandaling pagsasama
ika'y aking pinaligaya
at ngayo'y ika'y tapos na
hiling ko'y itapon mo ako ng tama

catch me, catch me as i flee
cause i wont stop running
till i'm free

grab my head
and shove it down
make me beg till i drown

beat me, beat me till i bleed
don't stop swinging
until you break my creed

tear every shred
of humanity in me
till i beg for your mercy

cage me, cage me for i am not free
i am not the man
i used to be

i am broken and ruined
chained down
for being rotten

abandoned my faith
filled with hate
and my soul is stained

answer me, answer me please
can i hope for redemption
and return as one of your  creation

A feeling that can't be fake
by lies and deception someone made
it has no schedule or boundary
and it doesn't fade that easily

this feeling I want to gain
but it cant be easily obtain
it's not easy as one, two, three
it's hard even for you and me

this feeling never fails
it colors your life like in the fairy tales
but never assume an easy ending
cause life is full of problems that needs a lot of thinking

Happiness that's what I need
it's the thing that I really greed
but never misunderstand it's meaning
because it's one of the things that kept us from living

when will it end? I'm too scared to end it myself
afraid of putting the last dot in my story
naive enough to hope for a better sequel
that will only be out shadowed by its own prequel
A better story is what I'm pleading
with joyful characters and painless scenes
no hate, regret and doubt
a story that will make you feel one with the crowd
filled with lies and forgery, a deceitful story
that will take me away from my reality

there's a house with a big red door
inside I saw a terrified boy
big bushy hair, wearing a shirt with a hole
then i tried to peek at the boy's soul

looking at him
putting an emotionless face
staring at his eyes
showing a weeping gaze

but then I turned back
and there was no red door
then suddenly the boy
wasn't in front of me anymore

finally it hit me I thought
I was going crazy
there was no house with big red door
it was just me

reminiscing my old self before

Desire  its either material or affection
its something we crave that will turn into an addiction
it gives a kind of feeling that couldn't be explain
afraid to tell and show how much you'll give for it to obtain
its something that can captures other's attention
but you'll never expect them to accept such kind of situation
you'll keep it hidden from other's observation
addiction is such a harsh word to describe someone's fixation
an obsession over something firm and stable
something that will make us feel enable
addiction is just a simple kind of obsession
of someone's or your own fixation
it's just a normal feeling of someone's want living in today's civilization
were everyone is driven by their own hidden addictions

I'm just like an orchid
clinging on a tree
hanging around harmlessly
sipping it's nutrients
without a care
taking advantage
of it's hospitality

I'm just like an orchid
clinging on a tree
being taken care off
and i'll bloom beautifully
my flowers will make you smile
it will warm your heart
and turned you senile

but even though
the tree is being ignored
it never complains
thus giving me everything and more

I'm just like an orchid
clinging on a dying tree
I will die along with it
My flowers will wilt
My roots will rot
and just like an orchid
dying with a tree

I didn't even realized
the great love
that was given to me

have you ever danced with the devil
in the pale moonlight?
just to prove that they're wrong and you're right

have you ever smiled so hard
just to hide your pain inside?
cause you know nobody cares
and you don't want to lose your pride

have you ever felt the warm touch
of a person's sincere care?
or being swallowed by other emotions
other than your fear

jealously, greed and curiosity
there's a lot more to it
but it all leads to insanity

all these questions are left unanswered
it might not hurt you
but still you're left battered
bothering you everyday
but still you say you're okay

is this all for happiness?
should i endure it and keep hoping
or should i ask myself
what's my purpose of living
Bruce Gil Aug 2015
pain confusion and unanswered questions
these are the things that keep me up at night
revolving around me tiring out my mind
leave me alone and let me sleep
don't i deserve to have a dream

praises are thrown
at the king wearing a barbed crown,
but when his not around
people thought of him as clown
surrounded by flattery with duplicity
and desperation of supremacy
still he never did lose his hope in humanity

— The End —
