Anthem
we held hands on this
our last night on earth
while we kissed
our mouths filled with dust
the shadows of the trees
confuse our blood upon the leaves

we walked along the path
we followed closely to the sea
the skyline was on fire
and the smell of smoke hung in the air
like some terrible disease

as the storm approached
and you gripped my withered hand
i knew i'd gladly fade away
if it meant i could walk with you again

Dead Account
Put my throat at the end of a knife,
Torture all your critics until they die,
Face the punishment in the afterlife,
All for you, accept my sacrifice.

Paint the walls crimson with my blood,
Decorate my skin with scars and cuts,
**** somebody with an accidental shove,
For you are the one I love.

Stick needles in my brain,
Even if it drives me insane,
Demolish the people in your way,
This untouched skin I want you to trace.

Somehow, I don't care if you don't do the same for me,
Just kiss me for a while until you leave;
You can't escape me anyway, honey,
Because I'll be stuck haunting in your dreams.
Inspired by the song "Love Ballad" by Tove Lo... Chop off my hands, chop off my feet. I'd do it for you; ain't love sweet? XD

Ganyan lang ginagawa ko sa tuwing ika'y dadaan sa aking harapan
Para ang galabog sa aking dibdib ay mabilis na mapagtakpan
Dahil ito lang ang alam kong posibleng paraan
Upang ang tibok ng aking puso ay mapadahan-dahan
Na tanging sayo lamang ilalaan

Ganyan lang iniisip ko sa tuwing wala ng maisagot sa exam
Tipong pati pag gamit ng tandang padamdam ay hindi ko na din alam
Kung sa pangungusap ba dapat ilagay o sa sariling nararamdaman
Bakit bigla ka na lang nagpaalam ng walang paalam
Kaya patuloy ang aking walang katapusang pag-aagam-agam

Ganyan lang inaarte ko sa tuwing hinihintay ang napakatagal na order sa kainan
Di sapat ang halaga ng lasa pero lulunukin na lang ng walang angal dahil di pa nagtatanghalian
Para naman kahit papaano ay magkalaman ang aking tiyan bukod sa mga paru-paro na iyong dahilan
Bakit ko nga ba binabalik-balikan ang mga inihain **** iba't ibang ilusyon at kasinungalingan
Na hanggang ngayon ay naniniwala pa rin, at patuloy na maniniwala na ikaw at ako ay walang hangganan

Ganyan lang ang sinabi ko sa sarili ko ng makita kang may kasamang iba
Nalunod ka lang pala kaya ginawa mo akong salbabida
Pero bakit di ko mabago ang daloy ng kwento na ikaw pa rin ang aking pinakamagandang bida
Hindi ko makakalimutan ang huling gabi na tayo ay pinagsama ng tadhana
Nasa ilalim ng mga maliliwanag na tala at sinusulit ang huling sulyap sa iyong mga mata

Yan lang ang alam kong pwedeng gawin sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, ang maging cool.
Na hindi kailangan sa bawat eksena na mangyayari, ay may gawin na aksyon
Hinayaan panoorin ang kagandahan ng pag-guho ng ating mga mundo
Dahil hindi na maaaring sagipin ang pag-asa, magmukmok man o humagulgol mag-hapon
Lalo na't sa panahong kulang ako, naging kulang tayo; sayo.
It may not be much
I may not be great or even pretty or such
But I love you
Do you love me too
Is this till the end
Or am I going to be hurt and bend
Tell me something
I just can't search this on bing
When I first walked into Hell,
I didn’t even realize it had happened.
It was like out of nowhere,
The puppies became hellhounds
And the beautiful lakes became
Pits of lava.

The sun was now too hot and
The clouds were getting darker.
The gray sky seemed endless
And time was meaningless.

Shackles wrapped around my wrists
And ankles,
Holding me prisoner in my own
Despair.

The black smoke that then flew
From my throat was accompanied
By a shrill wail
And I watched with wide eyes
As a gargoyle materialized in front
Of me
And sat atop my lungs.

I tried my best to scream,
But all I could muster were
A few mere whimpers.

It was then that I heard the
Noise surrounding me.
I looked around to see people
Smiling and laughing with the
Devil.

Someone waved me over
And held up a glass of
Red liquid.

I said nothing.

The woman shrugged
And turned back to the
Group.

Did they not see all of it?
The lava, the shackles,
The gargoyle sitting on top
Of me?

I looked into the eyes of
The fearsome creature and
It disappeared before my eyes,
Along with the shackles.

I stood up on shaking feet.
I could still feel the weight
Of him on my lungs
And the restraints around
My wrists
and ankles.

Adieu
 Jan 2017 Got Guanxi

We are sitting in your car, and we are quiet.
The sun has set and the only illumination is the streetlights of the city I've told you I wanted to show you since the day we met.
For once, we are not holding hands.
Three hours prior we were staring at one another across the top of a table at Qdoba and you assured me things were working out. You assured me that we could continue as we were. This wasn't goodbye.
I assured me you weren't forcing those words, yet three hours later, as we are leaving the city I never got to show you, you are not looking at me.
The day before I would not hesitate to say I love you.
The day before, I would not doubt your touch.
The day before, I explained to you that I do not say "goodbye" when planning to see someone again. "Goodbye" is too permanent a term, "goodbye" is when you can't promise you'll come back.
Now, we are sitting in my basement and you lie on the couch.
I am sitting on the floor.
You're looking at your phone as I look for something to watch on the TV, and you do not seem to care what.
I look for something for you.
As it plays and you watch, I watch how quickly we are fading.
My heart yearns to show to you that I believe we are worth this, but just like the sun faded from the sky and we were overcome by the night sky,
it seemed the light had faded from your eyes and you no longer saw the sky in mine.
I attempt to make my way beside you on the couch, and I soon realize that there's no longer room in your life for two.
I found myself memorizing each freckle on your face,
I found myself remembering the shades of blue your eyes kaleidoscope into when hit by the sun.
I found myself wondering just when they might see sun again,
as I could tell they no longer shone when looking at me.
It was then that I realized my heart was no longer full of love,
it was empty from the lack of reciprocation.
You looked at me as though I held the answers to everything you'd ever asked,
but I feel as though you quickly realized I was an issue, outdated.
You left about midnight.
I kissed you as you left, and I thanked you for coming.
You assured me it wasn't a problem.
I told you that I loved you,
and you told me you loved me, too.
You said "goodnight,"
and for the first time,
I said
*"goodbye."

My chest feels heavy.
