be
gift Nov 1
be
my biggest dream is to simply be
to exist in a world that does not bound me
to occupy spaces, to be free

my biggest dream is to simply be
to experience the land and sea
to breathe, to live without worry

my biggest dream is to simply be
to love the people dear to me
and even those that hurt thee

what once was
gift Oct 9
let's look back and reminisce
those days
when you were once mine
let nostalgia swallow us whole
until we fill the voids in our hearts
with regrets of what we could've been
and content of what we are now

sa dulo
gift Oct 8
naglalakad sa isang eskinita
walang ilaw, walang makita
nalulunod sa alon ng kadiliman
yan ang imahe sa aking kaisipan

hindi mawari ang galaw ng mundo
kung talagang liligaya pa ang puso
mabuti nalang at ika'y nasilayan ko
sa liwanag pala ay nag hihintay ka sa dulo.

her own art
gift Oct 7
she was artistic,
unconsciously making everything ravishing
she was poetic,
everything she did was aesthetic

double edged sword
gift Oct 4
like raging inferno
my heart combusted
i felt pain; but mostly i felt alive

you have caused me trouble
but at the same time
you saved me too

and i guess that's how love works
felicity and misery
love and pain

a gentle reminder
gift Feb 2021
Please be patient with me, I spend most of my day swimming in the ocean of my thoughts.
Please be patient with me, sometimes I'm too scared to speak up but there are days where I speak too much.
I always loved too much and received a little, I got used to being treated like ****.
I do not know what I deserve so please be patient with me.
I cry over the slightest inconvenience but there are days when I cover it up with a smile.
Please be patient with me, a lot of days I breathe because you exist.
I'm a mess, like a sudden drought, but this mess loves you without a single doubt.
so when times get tough and you realize it's hard to love me, just remember, please be patient with me.
—g.l
can you be patient with the me?

I hope you don't understand my poetry
cause then it'll mean you're blue like me
I hope when you read it you don't get a thing
cause my words scream nothing but empty

I hope when you look at the stars, you wish
not stare and think of ending it
I hope when the sun rises you smile
not thinking that you wish it didn't

I hope at night when you lay in bed
you won't think you'd rather be dead.
—g. l
but if you understand my poetry, I'm sorry.

a poem for me
gift Oct 2020
i don't see the stars in your eyes anymore, they look dull, sad—empty even.

i don't see the fire in your eyes anymore, they burned out and there was nothing left but darkness.

i don't see the life in your eyes anymore, they seem lifeless and full of agony.

i have always loved your eyes, for they unvail who you are and what you feel. i have always loved seeing the ocean in your eyes that drowns me and hypnotizes me; you have changed.

a poem i wrote while looking at the mirror.

my galaxy
gift Sep 2020
you are a celestial body
a natural phenomenon
a beauty hidden so far away
but look closer; you tell a fascinating story in your own way

you are a galaxy
a gravitational system of stars
you emanate light and wake me up from fallacy
you remind me that somethings are bizarre
but thats just how things are meant to be
you emenate light stronger than darkness
because you choose to see the good regardless

just like how we choose to watch a movie so cliché even when we know its going to end in a certain way. just like how we try to stay even when things are not at bay. just like how we try to see the good in every day without worrying about dismay.

you are a galaxy
you have undergone stellar evolution
changes happened and it will always be the reality
you are a galaxy
you are made of stellar fragments
a massive remnant of what was once there to see

you changed over the course of time but what was once there will last for a lifetime. you will always evolve, you get better every time.

you are a galaxy
you have black holes; dark energy
but no let me tell you, you are anything but empty
you are a matter packed in that body
your gravity is so strong i cannot flee

you are so much more than darkness
you are my galaxy.

love is love
gift Sep 2020
love isn't selfish its selfless you give even if you dont have any left. love isn't screaming shouting nagging love is caring, telling the person his wrong, and trusting, trust him through it all. love isn't always nice but love will surely bring you light.

love isn't focusing on the imperfections love is seeing past it and still feel the affection. love isn't forced conversations or pure negation, love is nonsense talking and affirmation. love isn't perfect, love will bring you rain but love is love and happiness will always reign.

when i was young i always asked the question nobody can answer “what is love?”

Untitled
gift Aug 2020
the memory of you makes me weak
my bones ache for your touch again
i miss you; you're all i seek
can't we go back to the way we began?

the sight of you makes me weep
why do you keep appearing in my sleep
tonight I'll drown myself with you again
can't we go back to the way we began?
—g. l
i wanna forget you but i can't.

my world
gift Aug 2020
you mean the world to me
cliché it may seem to be
but don't worry this isn't that same old poetry

maybe one day you wake up and realize this isn't the life you want to be living. like life is stopping all the things from happening.

maybe one day you wake up and think you aren't worthy. that no matter what you do you always end up weary.

maybe one day you feel like giving up, like the pain, the problems ain't gonna stop. maybe one day you feel like you're not yourself, like an old book left on a shelf.

maybe one day you wake up and you feel like you don't matter, that every breath you take your broken pieces are even more broken—they're shattered.

maybe one day all the pain you buried inside suddenly come to you like waves. maybe one day, just one day, you'll feel lost. don't worry, you mean the world to me.
—g.l
made this poem for someone who meant the world to me but i guess i wasn’t his.

best
gift Aug 2020
she always wanted to relinquish; but you were a tiny string she kept holding onto. never did she think she was enough for you; but you always made her feel so. she always cries herself to sleep; but you were right by her side.

she always says you deserve better; but you still think she is the best

someone out there can see your worth!

im drunk writing a poem for you
honesty rolling off my tongue and mind
as i speak and write about you.

im drunk writing a poem about you
everything's a blur, nothing is pellucid
but its clear—so clear, i love you.

im sober writing a poem about you
nothing has ever changed
i love you still.

science
gift Aug 2020
she loved science. she loved how it can explain things; how things work. she loved how it can explain love and finally she understood things—but you came. you came and she hated you. she hated how you make things complex and different. she hated you because she thought she understood everything but you made her confused. she hated you because you changed everything—but she loved you anyway

masterpiece
gift Aug 2020
make me your masterpiece
stroke you hands upon my skin
touch every mistake and fix them
make me your favorite form of art

make me your masterpiece
shade me with the most lustrous color
tell me flowery words;
make me beautiful

make me your masterpiece
kiss all my damages goodbye
make me your masterpiece
for you are mine

you are a masterpiece!!! <33

noon, tayo ay nag mahalan
bumuo tayo ng mga pangakong aking pinang hawakan
gumawa tayo ng mga bagay na nag resulta ng sobrang kaligayahan

ngayon, wala na; wala ng tayo
kinalimutan at binalewala mo ang ating mga pangako
pero sinta, ako'y hayaan mo
tutuparin ko kung ano man ang ating na plano

at sa hinaharap, patuloy kitang mamahalin
ang ating sinimulan, itutuloy ko parin
kahit ako nalang mag isa, at ikaw ay hindi na akin

you
gift Aug 2020
you
your eyes drown me deeper than the ocean and i can never get up for air, but if drowing means i could look at you forever then I'll probably inundate myself.

your touch burns me and it hurts, but if burning means i could have you here by me then I'll probably burn to ashes.

your words were nothing but sweet lies, but if listening to your lies means i could hear you say you love me then I'll pretend; ill always pretend that they were true.

hello reminder that u deserve to be loved whole heartedly!! never settle <33

broken
gift Aug 2020
everyone ruled over her. she wanted to scream, scream it all out but she just kept silent; allowing every word to hurt her. pain was evident in her eyes and there are things she cant hide but she kept everything inside and it broke her until there wasn't anything left to be broken.

I'll write for you
and drown you with my words
I'll strip down my affliction
and turn them into poetry

they are for you
since you'll leave me eventually
—everybody does.

and i'll devote myself to you
