It took me a while to realize,
The blur of of your lines.
Took me longer to see,
What wasn't meant to be.

You say you're busy,
Caught up in some bizarre frenzy,
Have people waiting,
And tasks piling,
But each time you move away,
I breathe heavily in dismay.

Darating ka pa nga ba?
Mukhang marahil di na
Totoong ika’y nanlimot, aking sinta,
Sa pangakong pagmamahalan nating dalawa.

Maaaring sabihin **** ako’y baliw, di-karapat-dapat,
Ngunit ikaw, giliw, ay kailanman naging sapat,
Sapat na upang patuloy kong ibigin,
Ibigin kahit na iyong di mapansin.

Pero bakit?
Bakit nga ba di ka na darating?
Bakit ba labis ang lungkot na aking tinatamasa sa iyong di pagsipot?
Tanggap kong hindi mo nga talaga ako kailanman magugustuhan,
Subalit matindi pa rin ang hapdi ng puso kong iyong sinugatan.

Sabi nga nila, ang tulad mo ay tipong paasa,
Yung tipong mangangako at di sasama,
Marahil ako nga ang siyang problema,
Ako nga ang taong umasa,
Pero tangina,
Salita mo ay iyong bigyang halaga.

3 years.

For 3 years,
I've felt you,
Felt your warm welcomes when we met in classes,
And your wondrous stories of helping the masses.

You said you weren't religious nor nice,
But the way you pray others joy says otherwise.

3 years.

3 years spent on memories I keep,
Each one bearing an experience so deep.

It was fine time we gave each other,
As fine as time between spirited brothers.

And each year, we grew closer,
We went through hardships together,
But these 3 years were special,
Tackling the mundane and existential.

Times were either us two working on school work,
Or us two thinking why we work.

Precious indeed are those 3 years,
With everything set in stone,
Yet like all precious jewels,
They fall in the hands of the most cruel of cruels.

We were precious, I bidder,
But from our hands our jewel fell, shattered.

3 years.

3 painful years,
As I watch our smiles turn tears,
And our hearts pierced by spears,
For we chose to shut our ears,
And switched gazes with leers.

I stood frozen badly,
As our story begets tragedy.
Because lady, why tell me,
That after all, we weren't meant to be?

3 years.

3 years, my seed of wrath grew,
In the shape of a tree with no fruit,
And as the bark had wind blew,
I felt bitterness from you, my root.

3 years, right?
For 3 years now, my tree stands upright.
A poem for you whom I thought was meant for me.

Before now, when we meet,
My mind blasts, in a heart beat,
Before love, pre-deceit,
Before us, was a heart beat.

Times so great, I can't wait,
The world lives, in a heart beat,
Memories, they're what's left,
Since you left, in a heart beat.

I crashed down, face: a frown,
My whole world, was that heart beat,
Now it aches, my heart breaks,
Since you left with my heart beat.
A song I made for the broken-hearted.

Drowning in sadness,
I scream my last cry,
An adrenaline-induced shout,
From my red damp mouth.

I've grown mad with the pain,
It left me an irremovable stain,
So on this day I wish to die,
I scream my last painful cry.

How I wish I've been slain,
From my pre-nativity,
Perhaps I'd not obtain,
Such grave misery.

As life pours out my body,
My mind grows unsteady.
A mixture of misery and ecstasy,
Lingers within my psyche.

I gasp for air,
But only blood everywhere.
A poem on a failed suicide attempt.

Listen.
Gone.

Gone are the happy days of you and I chatting under the tree shade.
Gone are the promises we kept to unuse the blade.

Gone are the moments we shared watching Disney in the theater.
Guess that's our last time together.

I gave up long ago being your suitor,
Let's be honest, I was never worth fighting for.

Listen.
I'm long gone.
From the painful ends of my memory.

In times of disaster,

Always remember,
Man is greater:

Destined for learnings,
Early for failings,
Alive for blessings,
Determined to change things.
