Universe is reaching out
Angels already calling

Time to go back on track
Been wandering longer
Than I should
To find pieces
Of me that were lost

Universe is reaching out
Angels already calling
I almost didn't recognize
As I started to forget
Who I am
And where I am going

Glad I finally heard
Message received

Then she goes ahead
With untainted dreams and hopes
On her hands, she goes

You were a shining star
Times passed,
Memories forgotten,
Hopes gone...
Why did you fade away
Can you sparkle once more?

If tears really cleanses the heart
Then yours and mine
Probably are some of the cleanest

Life is a tearjerker, you know

These tears pouring out
Like I am the most deprived
In this world
Like I am hurt
Like I am lost
Even if I should be fine
Lesser worries
No losses
No pains

Looking at me closely
I should be okay
Should be doing good
But there are still tears
A sudden downpour
I can't comprehend

I only hope
To understand myself
Better now
This time
And again

What should I do?
Stop getting enchanted
How? I can't...
Too weak
What now then?
I shall admit defeat

What can I do?
I already knew
You were too much
Still I dared to handle
Now I have no choice
But to learn
How to deal with you
And these feelings

I'm already living in two worlds
But none of them seem real
None of them I can call life

Hugged by cozy feels
Sitting by the fireplace, I
Dream of you once more

It was the best gift he can offer
He called it quits and free her
Finally, the game is over

Another day soon to end

Mind thinks back
Of what new it learned
Of memories captured

Heart remembers
Emotions felt
Moments to keep

As another day soon to end
Self tries to ponder
Is it a good day
Or a great day?

In the midst
Of living
In this stressful
World of business
Full of numbers and gains

I seek comfort in music
Keep sanity thru arts
Find sanctuary in writing
And so I can breathe
And so I am still alive

I long
To be loved by you.
Would you look into my eyes
And get me drowned
In your soulful stare?
Envelop me
In your warm embrace
Lovingly... Fondly.
Caress my face
With those gentle hands,
Whisper 'you're mine'
And I'm all yours.
I will
Fall into your trap and
Swear never to escape.

I don't love you anymore
I don't need you at all
I am happy just like this

I don't love you anymore
There's no point anyway
My heart won't beat
At the sight of you
No excitement
At a thought of you

I don't need you at all
I was always the giver anyway
My mind has forgotten
Every moment we've shared
My body doesn't miss
What it felt from you before

I am happy just like this
Without your embrace
I feel free
Without your touch
I feel much more alive
From losing you
I finally found myself

"I don't love you anymore"
I try to believe these words
Though seems unreal now
But at some point
I will, somehow

"I don't need you at all"
I erase even the good memories
As I wipe each drop of my tears

"I am happy just like this"
I'll keep telling myself
Time after time
Until the day that I wake up
Completely moved on
Looking ahead
At a fuller life anew

Looking back
Those 'good old days'
Are actually great

They were that great
To still bring smile on my face
And joy in my heart
Today

Why promise the stars and moon
You can't even give your time?
Why promise never to forget
You can't even remember a date?
Why promise to last forever
When it's hard to last even a day?

Don't make your love
Sound like so grand
When you can't offer
Your heart and mind

Why let us needlessly cling on
And in the end
Makes it harder for us to move on?

A new day again
I can't get through this alone
Please be with me, Lord

How interesting
They treat me like I'm strange
But act just the same

The little buds
Soon to wither
Not wanting to die pitifully
On such a sunny day
Under the scorching heat
Prayed for some rain

And it began to rain
With the still bright day
Painted a beautiful picture

Drizzles tickled each of the bud
Teased to flaunt their beauty
It rained gently
Enough to water the land
Make the flowers bloom
To a magnanimous sight

Thought it was just a soft pour
For a brief moment
Of joy...
Of fulfillment...
So they prayed for the rain
To stay for a while more

And so the rain did stay
But then never leave
For a long time

Just like of a storm
Each of its drop
Now hurts the flowers
Heavy fall tears them apart
Every time the rain
Touches the land
Flowers got more drenched
Soon they will drown
And get washed away

Yet they smile
One by one
As they face their end
They glint a smile

So many thing there are
I would like to do
To accomplish
So much that I don't know
Which should be done first
My head is overloaded
Soon to collapse
I might end up completely
Wornout without
Fulfilling anything
None at all
I am on the edge now
Of a cliff
I wonder if I choose
To just fall
Than continue
Hanging by a thread
It is better to end
All of these
Afterall

If I believe that I can do it
Will I really do?
If I trust that this too shall pass
Will it really be?

If I hope for something good
Will it happen?
If I move forward
Will I ever go somewhere?

If I try to look ahead
Will I see some light?
If I just continue on
Will everything then be alright?

Even if as you go to work
You think of crossing the street
While the green lights are on
It's okay

Even if you go up the stairs
Up to the rooftop of your school
And stand in the edge
It's okay

Even if you happen to pass by a bridge
And ask yourself
What if you just jump there
It's okay

Even if you stroll besides the lagoon
Walk towards it
And imagine falling and drowning
It's okay

Even if you often wonder
How deep a knife will cut your skin
Or what knot is best for your neck
How long does a bullet numb your head
What pills will let you sleep forever
Or how cold will it be to lay on rail tracks
It's okay

Even if day by day
Life has been so hard to bear
That day by day
You think that ending it
Would be so much better
It's okay

You struggle
But you survive
From morning to night
Ill thoughts visit your mind
But you're still alive

So it's okay
Even if in the morning
You opened your eyes
Disappointed
That you still wake up
It's okay
See... if life is a battle
You have been winning it
Constantly

You deserved to be loved
Even so much more
Than you can think of
You are worthy
Of tender care
Of profound affection

The world is just
Not that generous now
Kind of stingy
Making you feel insecure
And unwarranted affliction

But please believe
You deserved to be loved
More than enough
Soon you will see
This is the truth
Not just some consolation

Her heart
First turned pale
Then to gray
She let it be
Nothing mattered
Anymore
Anyway

Let it be
So she can live

How is it even possible
To wander so far
Get lost and tired
Only to find myself
Back where I was before?

Everything begins
As a blank slate
Just so is Life

Like an artwork or a masterpiece
Magnificient as it is
Like a poem or love song
Beautiful as it is
Begins in a blank slate
Just so is Life

With perfect melody
Of personalities and experiences
Variety of tunes
Of knowledge and skills
Colors burst in each blank of slate

Magnificient
Beautiful
Life will be

As the sunbeams touched my face
I close my eyes and remember you
It was warm just like this
Every time you hold me
It was this warm
Felt so alive

I remember you
I miss you

Too slow in this fast-paced world
Too dumb among the smart people
Too simple yet living in complications
Am I bound to be like this?
Can I even cope up?

I often wonder
How I became
Unaffected
Emotionless
Oblivious
Guess this is how living
Turned me to be

Tumatanda
Nang walang pinagkatandaan
Lumalaki
Nang walang kinalakihan

Tumatanda
Nang walang natatandaan
