To All MY Friends
Lily Oct 2015
After you're done with my notes
Please
Remember me as the friend
You've always known
Not the girl with lonely poems
Oct 2015 · 490
Alone
Lily Oct 2015
Friends can comfort you
Cheer for you all the way
But the truth is
At the end of the day,
You only have yourself
Oct 2015 · 300
Storm
Lily Oct 2015
I hope the storm just take all the pain away,
and me as well
Oct 2015 · 491
Please, Stop!
Lily Oct 2015
No, you don't understand!
Please stop lying to me!
My life is ******-up
And God does not care
Please let me be!
You're only saying that to ease
The pain that’s been killing me ever since
But let me tell you
None of those fancy words
Can ease the pain and misery
No one can fight these demons,
They are strong and they want me
My mind is severely flooded
And one die I am going to drown.

Graduation Day
Lily Oct 2015
Graduation day is only months away
And i'm somewhere between:
"Oh I'm gonna miss all my classmates"
And
"I'll never gonna see your stupid faces ever again, halleluiah!"
Lily Oct 2015
Sometimes I wonder how will I die
Will it be from accident? Sickness? Immense pain?
Will it come as swift as an arrow
So I won't feel anything?
Is it gonna happen in my 20s, 30s, or 40s, perhaps?
Or will it be from old age?
Of suffering in my death bed?
Regretting all the things I never did
But could have done?

Better To Be Dead Than Alive
Lily Oct 2015
The dead must have pity us
Laugh right in front of our crying faces
Because they know a secret we don't
That's it's better to be dead than alive
Oct 2015 · 288
Would You
Lily Oct 2015
Would you still bother to read my poems
Even if I tell you it only sings of heartaches and sad songs

Sadness
Lily Oct 2015
I used to run away from it
*But now I've learned to walk with sadness
I was inspired by Disney Pixar's Inside Out. I love being sad.

Damaged
Lily Oct 2015
Stop trying to cheer me up
Nor reminding me of people who care
Cause you know what?
I'm sick of deceits
And false pretense
Of hearing the same ***** over and over again
Every day I see myself in the mirror
Seeing the same old person
But entirely different
As I was before
Because I know it's not fine
Everything’s not going to be alright
And let me tell you friend,
That the best way to comfort a sad soul
Is through sadness itself
That no matter how many tries to fix us
We'll always be permanently damaged

Lonely Girl
Lily Oct 2015
Let’s talk about the stars
And how grey they turn out to be when you smile
Let’s talk about the sun
That lacks radiance and gleam compared to yours
Let’s talk about all the things
That loses its beauty whenever you’re near
Now let’s talk about her
And all her imperfections, failure, and flaws
The way she adores the night
And all the blackness that it emanate
The way she cradle these demons
Miserably trapped inside her mind
Because she’s anxious she’ll be ogled
When she tell the world of it
The way she takes relief in loneliness
Because that’s the only certain entity in this realm
The way she says
“I’m okay”
Because that’s the easiest answer
While resenting alone all the pain
Oct 2015 · 533
Why
Lily Oct 2015
Why
Of course, I am never alone
But why do I feel otherwise?

Stars
Lily Oct 2015
Let's talk about the stars
And how dull they turn out to be when you smile

Love and Betrayal
Lily Oct 2015
I love God
But I want to hate him right now
For being unfair.
Then I realized
God didn’t made life unfair
He gave us paradise
The whole lot
We didn’t even have to ask
However we betrayed him
Disobeyed
Fell for the devil’s sweet words
Thus we shall grieve
I, you, we, are Adam and Eve
We deserve to perish

Blank Canvas
Lily Oct 2015
No matter how hard she tries
Donning gorgeous masks
She's still just a blank canvas

Don't Be Like A Flower
Lily Oct 2015
A flower is only sought after for as long as it is fresh and pretty
Don't be like a flower
Don't believe what they declare
We are not just a simple DNA
We are the universe summed up into one
Observe the rules but don't be submissive
Follow your heart but never lose your mind
Pick your own battles and fight it well
And everyday
Don't fail to recall
That you are a fighter
Strong, courageous, wise
Yet still so sweet and soft
Fair, Confident, Honest,
A woman of virtue and respect
You are stunning on your own
You don't need any guy to prove your worth

Point Of No Return

I hope you don't come to the point
Where you only pray for her
Cause she's dead

Zombies
Lily Oct 2015
They don't always
Look dull
Or restless
Some even laugh
Joke around
And get crazy
With you
Everyday
They always
Got your back
Smiling and
Cheering you on
Because
They know how it feels
To be loathed
Broken
Unwanted
And them hurting alone
Is enough


©Leigh Herondale  *October 2015
We all have that one friend who's always ever cheerful and never notice the pain she's hiding.

Shattered
Lily Oct 2015
You left me in pieces
Never looked back
You never told me why
And treated me so bad
While I gave you all my love
All you cause me is a broken heart

So now i'll forget you
Try to stop thinking of you
What my heart won't allow
My mind can do
I'll have to cease saying "I love you"

But
If you knew how much
I've hurt
will you come back?
Those tears I've shed
All of these *****
Cause you know I want and I will
But you're not there
And life will never be the same again

God's Perfect Time
Lily Oct 2015
Sometimes 'God's perfect time'
Is that part when you stop wishing and moping
But just start 'doing'
Oct 2015 · 957
Perfect Timing
Lily Oct 2015
Don't wait for the perfect time
That's possibly never going to come
Grab the ****,
Walk out the door,
Seize all the hours of the day
And get that one thing you've been praying for.

A Poem For You
Lily Oct 2015
I'm not a singer so I can't sing you a song

I'm not a painter so I can't paint your beautiful face

I'm not the queen so I can't give anything you want

I'm just a girl with a pen in her hand and words in her heart

*So            i'll         write          you                  a      poem

The Last Dance
Lily Oct 2015
So there, the two of us were, holding hands
You were the expert, teaching me how to dance
Both utterly oblivious that
Tho you were training my feet
It's my heart that learned how to properly beat.


Translated from: "Ang Huling El *****" by Parokya ni Edgar (chorus part)

Crush
Lily Oct 2015
Minsan pinangarap ko
Mali,
Araw-araw pinapangarap ko
Na sana tingnan mo rin ako
Tulad ng tinging ipinupukol mo sa kanya
Pero itong tangang to hanggang pangarap lang talaga
Bakit? Kasi di mo naman ako kilala

Yakap
Lily Oct 2015
Lumapit ka sa akin kapag nasasaktan ka na
Hindi ko tatanungin kung alin
Hindi ko hahanapin kung saan
Lalong hindi ako mag-aaksayang alamin kung pano
Yayakapin lang kita
Mainit na yakap na hindi mo naramdaman sa kanya
Mahigpit na yakap na hindi mo mararamdaman sa iba
Na sana kahit papano ay
Makapagpapaalis ng kirot
At magpaalala na nandito pa rin ako

Dedicated to the friend i'll always cherish, Jah :P

Importante
Lily Oct 2015
Ayokong maging 'kailangan'
Gawin mo kong 'importante'
Kasi pwede kang maging kailangan
kahit hindi importante
Pero hinding-hindi ka magiging importante
Kung hindi ka kailangan.

Poem Confession
Lily Oct 2015
I'm scared to show my poems to people I know in real life because i'm afraid that they'd judge me.
So I just thought about this tonight and all the things in my head as a self-entitled poet and all the things that scares me and this is just one of them. Now, what I want to tell you guys is if you have a confession too you can just  comment it here and promise I won't judge you. I just want to know that somebody else out there feels the way I do.
So yeah, waiting for your confessions. Good night from the Philippines :)

For My Soul Alone
Lily Oct 2015
My poems are for me and for my soul alone
Why ask me to dedicate it to you?

The only thing I have when I shut my door
And when I tell myself 'I ain't going no more'
Why I ask me to dedicate it to you?

The friend with whom I can confess all my fears
The pal to whisper hope while kissing away my tears
The receiver of my endless drama
And countless struggle with my crazy mind
The tiny ray of sunshine that makes me hold on and believe
That one day I'll see the light
The only reason why i'm still here
Alive and still kicking
And even if I fall down,
I still get back up and try.
*So why ask me to dedicate it to you?
Oct 2015 · 681
Thanks
Lily Oct 2015
I'm mean,
I do crazy *****,
I throw fits,
I hate everyone,
I always act like I don't give a ****,
And i'm totally not a Kardashian,
But thanks for keeping up with me.

FOOD
Lily Sep 2015
You're the only one I'm needing
Everything I'm always wanting
You cheer me up when I'm sad
Make me smile even when I'm mad
I don't think I can ever last a day without you
Believe me for what I say is true
Forever I love you, you, only you

Leigh Herondale *February 2015
Some might be thinking of their boyfriend or girlfriend while reading this but for me, this poem will always be for Food .

I'm Kind Of Nothing Much
Lily Sep 2015
I'm kind of nothing much,
Just a silly girl who admire boys as such
Those who play in bands and like
Boys who can ride the skate or bike

Though I also like to play the guitar
But guitars don't like me, just left me a scar
In my finger where a ring should stay
From the one I love when it comes the day

Some days I dream to be an astronaut
Watching the night sky everynight til I caught
A cold that always starts with a sneeze
And ends with runny nose, oh dear! Oh Geez!

I made an honest mistake so I need to add more lines
That even though I fail sometimes
I always need myself to remind
That a dream never dies

So there's my little autobiography

Hey, I'm Human (LOL)
Lily Sep 2015
I know I ain't important
And people don't like me
Hates me more often than not
I think my presene annoys them
Or just the way I talk
Or maybe it's my body
So I stare down my feet as I walk
To myself it's okay tho
Coz I never like them anyway
But sometimes it hurts me somehow
Coz i'm still human, *******.
My poem *****. I ****.

That Day
Lily Sep 2015
Counting down the days after that day
You said goodbye and walk away
If only I knew that it would hurt me so
I never ever should have let you go

Tracing back the steps up to your door
Where we'd lie awake up until four
We'd fight in your car and then make up again
Now my heart is torn, refusing to mend

I remember that day you played your guitar
Those nights we'd wish upon a star
Praying that this would never end
Now we aren't even friends

We were so many things, so many places
So many dreams, waterfalls of kisses
If only I knew it would be this way
I never should have left that day

Pusong Korean
Lily Sep 2015
I might wander to other places
Might want to explore new things
My friends might even change
And so is my style or taste
I might never be the same person
I was a year ago
But one thing is for sure tho
I will always come back home

I tried, I failed
Lily Sep 2015
When I try to be social
I miserably fail
I act like a butterfly
But all to no avail
So then I decided
To just hate them instead
Cause people don't give a ****
Unless you're pretty or dead
Now this pretty butterfly
Was really just a worm
Who learned the hard way
Of picking rose with its torn
Now she's digging into the Earth
Getting ready for her slumber
And if one day she succeed
She might just sleep forever

My 12AM Drama
Lily Sep 2015
It's 12:38 in the morning
And i'm still not sure how I can sleep
Knowing that The Vamps and Before You Exit
Is coming to Manila on January 30, 2016
And I don't have the funds yet
Lololol I made a poem out of it ***. The crazy things a fangirl would do for their idol 101
Note: if you ever read this please take time to tweet @thevampsband and @beforeyouexit and tell them how much Leigh loves them. It's just that I'm 8 hours away from the concert place, I don't know where to get money, and worse, parents never approve. Sad life :(

Poetry Keeps Me Sane
Lily Sep 2015
Apparently my “talent” receives praises
When it's not even one
It is unfathomable sentiments
Besieged within the fissures of my soul
Yearning to be poured out
But I can’t successfully express
So instead I laid it down into words.

A Lonely Sailor
Lily Sep 2015
A lonely sailor
Brave the seas alone
One day came a ship
Asked to sail side by side
Together they faced each angry storm
And even slumber with the calm tide
Another storm his sail was torn
He said he'll shortly duck
She was shocked and forlorn
But he promised he'll be back
She waited every sunset
Till the very last she could witness
But he never came
Still she patiently waits
A lonely sailor again

At Least I Play It Real

They all like her, not me.
But it's okay,
Cause I may not be a saint
But at least I play it real.
