They said,
"The most beautiful art is
looking into someone's eyes
when they talk about the
things they love."
And I said,
"Or looking at someone you love.
Or maybe, just maybe,
by looking at the mirror
is the most beautiful art
anyone should appreciate."

I have kissed boys

Girls

People in between

But lately I have been kissing bottles

Their lips are colder than yours

But slowly I have realized that the pounding headache when I wake is less hurtful than the shattering in my chest

Yet as these toxins rush through my veins

I can't help but miss the tracing of your fingers along my skin

Miss the numbness of the world when you lie with me

But when I wake I remember that a headache is treated with an aspirin

While heartache

Well if you have a cure for Heartache let me know

mahal,
piliin mo lang ako sa araw-araw,
pangako,
wala ka ng dapat alalahanin,
hintay ka lang,
damhin ang lamig ng hangin,
kapit ka lang,
sabay tayo tatalon sa bangin,
pikit ka lang,
magtiwala ka’t hindi ‘to alanganin,
ako ng bahala,
sapagkat kahit saan man ako mapadpad at makarating
pipiliin ko pa din makauwi sayo gabi-gabi.

i came to you alone,
lonely as a grocery store parking lot at four a.m,
a coffee in my right hand,
and a cigarette on the other,
sat down beside you,
we make jokes,
laughter’s echoing in every corner,
as soon as the sun is waking up,
we’re both blowing smoke rings pretending that they are haloes,
our eyes intertwine,
i asked myself,
could i believe in the magic?

some people think “i just write”,
trust me,
i do,
but they don’t know that there’s so much story
veracity,
sincerity,
heartbreaks,
landslides,
sacrifices,
c­ourage,
in between words,
in this world,
it takes me to pour everything,
in what “i just write”.

we’re living in a distracted world, 
with fantasies that bubbles our mind,
full of barely controlled chaos,
but then i remembered the feeling,
when your eyes locked onto mine,
focusing, listening, hearing, caring,
the comfort and pleasure you once made
is cannot be measured,
not by words, some stranger or even an event.

i am grateful for all you do;
because i can state the fact that,
when my life overwhelms and does me in,
consumes me and destroys me,
you make everything all right,
and on that moment,
you became my everything,
you are everything that i believed was right.

Hindi sa wala akong masabi.
Hindi sa wala akong alam.
Hindi sa wala akong pakialam.
Hindi sa 'di kita mahal.
Hindi sa ‘di ako lumaban.
Sa totoo lang,
Hindi lang naman Ikaw ang may mga katanungan,
Ako din, mas madami pa nga ata.
Ngunit 'di ko alam saan 'to hahanapin,
Saan ko 'to pupulutin,
Paano ko ‘to matututunan,
Basang basa na ang aking unan,
Ubos na din ang alak at pulutan,
Pero isa lang ang nasisigurado ko,
Dahil alam ko,
Na ang pupuna dito sa kalungkutan,
Sa bawat oras na nagkagipitan,
Sa pagmamahal na kakulangan,
Ay Ikaw, Alam kong Ikaw,
Na sa'yo ko pa rin makikita
ang tamang kasagutan.

she's smart, strong, and independent
she always fight for what she believes in
i know those lovely eyes are just for me
and i tell you undoubtedly,
even if she's giving me love and pain at the same time
i don't mind if she's the cause
of my death.
