💍

She may walk like fire
and speak like wine,
but her lips
carry the ashes
of another man’s home.

Desire is not worth
the ruin you inherit.
No glory is found
in tasting
a betrayal
you didn’t earn.

🖤
Never sleep with another man’s wife. Some doors are locked for a reason. Kicking them open only brings ghosts.
The night
scattered its stars
across an asphalt sky.
We, you and I, stood
at the edge
of the precipice
watching.
Behind us,
stood the powers that be
counting down from ten.
na ikaw ang inuna kahit ako ang iyong huli.
sinta, maaari bang masimulan nating muli?
parang tangang ikaw ang pinili
hinayaang makulong sa iyong tali

lahat ng aking alinlangan ay isinantabi
pinagkatiwala ang buong sarili
akala ko'y hindi ako nagkamali
ngunit nagsabi ka ng "sandali,"

"sandali, hindi ako lilisan
ngunit sandali, ako pala'y nalilito minsan
sandali. makinig ka muna. sandali lang.
hindi yata kita napupusuan."

hindi mo naman kasalanan
na ang sakit ay hindi man lang maibsan
hindi mo naman kasalanan
na madali akong palitan

hindi mo naman kasalanan
na hindi ako ang nakatuluyan
hinding-hindi mo rin kasalanan
na hindi ako kawalan

hindi mo kasalanan, mahal
na ang boses ko'y garalgal
at kapag ako'y hinihingal
kapag sinisigaw ang aking pagmamahal

at paghihintayin pa kita ng matagal
pahihintulutan kang maging pagal
ang usad sa akin ay laging mabagal
kaya hinding-hindi ka susugal

hindi mo kasalanan
ang aking mga kasalanan.
kaya't ako'y iyo nang iwan
sa sarili **** tahanan.
The thing about anger—
You don’t notice it’s burning
Until your hands are stained red.
He closes eyes,so wise ,so bright
Ignoring facts that shine like light
Why learn and grow?That's way too hard
Better to stay forever barred.

He builds his walls with pride and grace,
A shining king of empty space.
Oh,what a gift,he freely admits
He's trapped inside the tragedy of limits.

Sometimes I can’t stop writing
It’s because I have so much to say
We used to message
On four platforms at once
Now messages is banned
We can only do everything else
I wonder what your mom would think
I don’t mean to disobey
I just mean to help
And I like this
I can’t stop liking you

Here’s to my 100
All these poems adding up
Almost all about you
One still about her
And the rest about my pain

Funny thing is
I can’t think of pain with you
I just think about getting better
That’s always been my problem until you
I wanted to fight
Now I just wish to settle
Tough times

Somedays I miss you
While we’re talking
It’s not because you aren’t you
No
It’s because every word going through
Has been said before
And in an instant
You could be gone
I’m not worried you might leave
I’m worried you might not come back
And I can’t ever lose you
I just want an answer
Can I know the future
All my secrets
If I knew-
I’d work as hard as I can
Not for mine
But for ours
“You are too beautiful to be heart broken,” he told me
“Well… the most beautiful flowers get ripped out of the soil, causing them to fall apart and die..” I replied to him.
He gets my metaphor and told he would’ve kept me forever.
I smile but what is there to believe anymore?
actual conversation i had.
hate it when my ex ghosts me and comes back as if it never happened….
