I would have known thee before the day ends
When butterflies’ wings glow beneath the sun
And water flows across the rocky crust.
I wish… I wish… I really wish I would.

I would have known thee before darkness peeks
When music sings its harmony with smiles
We’d hear the lyrics’ tone; it echoes the sweetest laugh.
Oh I wish I would before nightmare spared.

I would have known thee before stories end
When stars won’t blink and clocks don’t rush
The hour hath run before I would
And date hath passed before I could.

I would have known thee before we met
When my heart remembers how to beat
And my lips still know how to smile…
When my world seems just so fine
and fair.

I would have known thee
I wish I would
Before I found myself deeply…
falling
In numb.
psyche Jan 2022
People uttered so much
about how they would do things
for those who they love,
but won't actually jump off the boat
when it's about to sink.

Their reason?

They would rather stay...
And that had made me question
how real love really works.

I was in the middle
of reading an
old dusty diary

when suddenly
a familiar man
hovered through my door
without even knocking.

I couldn't talk
couldn't even move
as we connect thru eyes
while my heart sings
the familiar rhythm
his too could harmonize.

He slowly walked
towards me
and I found myself
clutching the familiar
ache my heart had been
bleeding
since the last day I saw him.

He reached for my hand
and I was contained
with thousands of
nameless feelings.

All I knew was that
I'm in thorn between
touchig him
and holding that
old dusty diary.

Now I'm left
on the very last page
without any choice
but to  let him go
and close
this old dusty diary.
psyche Feb 2015
you came
you sat
you left

but then you stay
here in my lonely sheet of paper
tinted by this black silky metal
of the past.

you'll forever be here
and i'll forever feel your hand
ringed in mine
as i write our
forever **once upon a time
it seems like an epoch
yet it feels like yesterday...
forever yesterday
psyche May 2020
we were like
crazy species
inloved.
then the story ends...
psyche May 2021
And then one day
I just woke up
with a promise
of not crying
over the same reason

again.
psyche Feb 2021
...
you'll search for me
in every soul you'll
cross your path with...
but I
won't be found.
psyche Jun 2016
Shiny sparklin’ sun’s rise
Smilin’ brightly lighting your face
Oh, what a day to remember
Your eyes hath spoke
When they met mine

Hey! I like those smiles
I count the colors in your mood
You laugh the softness in your soul
I memorized the stroke of each sound

‘twas one of a kind
Felt the scent of the sweetest haven
You told me your story
I felt my lips pronouncing mine

You’re so special
You never knew
And I wasn’t aware
I was falling hard

So so hard
I forgot how lovely you were
When you just told me
You once hath fallen
hard
For her
and only for her.
you should have told me the very first minute you showed me those smiles.
psyche Sep 2021
I've been marking
my skin
with pain I could
only acknowlege
through pen.

And when he came,
no space was left
to welcome
the story he had to tell.

So I made him pages
in a corner
no one had ever
dared to flip.
psyche Feb 2016
Ngingiti ako at tatawa
Tatawa na parang di iniwan
Tatawa na parang di nasaktan
Ngingiti at tatawa
..dahil may higit pang darating.
psyche Apr 2019
I wrote your name
on a piece of paper
folded it like a boat
and let it go
along the water
under the rain.

I used to love
how these tiny drops
kissed my skin,
but today's wind's
far different from
the ions brought
by the breeze

For along with that
little paper boat
I've made

are the hopes
of
you
and
me.
psyche Jun 2018
We were paper dolls
in a paper house
Door opens; windows closed
We see the chances
but miss all hopes.
We were paper dolls
hanging on the walls.

We were paper dolls
dressed like our Majesty.
You held your sword so tight
I lie my heart in you
And when the dawn is nigh
all candles' lit were blown
we were back once more
in our own separate traps.

And again,
we were paper dolls
played by one thing
we never had...

psyche Dec 2020
I've decided to peel off
the parts of me
you have touched.
Burn it all out;
and through ink,
I washed all
the traces you left me with.

Now I'm a bleeding sheet
with marks
I see as materpiece.
psyche Nov 2020
I know it's kind of itchy
when a wound starts to heal.

But please, do yourself a favor
by not scratching it.

Or else your platelets
will get tired.
You might end up
bleeding again.
psyche Jul 2019
Pour yourself
with the love
you always give
to others.

Be the sunshine
you always long
from someone.

'til then,
you would realize...

you don't need
to need someone
to bloom.
psyche May 2020
You love the sky so much
that when the shiniest star
hath moved,
you call a desp'rate plea
to win her back.

Never had you noticed
how firmly pinned I've been
on the same old spot
you once have loved.
psyche May 2020
oh how lovely
to an ear
this word was!

Until people
became frightened
to hear it once.
This too, shall pass.
psyche Oct 2020
You knocked at my door
without realizing
you already had my key
a long time ago.

It was there,
buried in a
pocket full of
pride.
psyche Apr 2021
She runs all day
to escape the pain
only to be chased by tears
when night falls off.

Such a cruel prize
from love!
psyche Mar 2015
the smile i pinned in my face
from the very first day you left
how to be happy if you're really not
ran
psyche Dec 2020
ran
And maybe I have been
so familiar with being
out of this place
That when someone willing
to shelter me came,
I ran my life out of it.

Or maybe I have been
so into out of love
That when he came
and offered his heart,
I had no idea how to handle it.

So I ran my heart away.
psyche Aug 2014
Red huge moon let me see your face
On a cold dark night I needed light.
Red huge moon may you show me your smile
For this moment I needed strength.

I’ve been in loved with an Adonis
A man I’ve always been dreaming.
I used to stare at those sweet smiles
From a distance I count his laugh.

I’ve been lonely, I’ve always been.
I cried for him, he didn’t cared.
I’ve been in blue, everything had always been.
I called his name, he didn’t even heard.

Red huge moon I beg to show me yourself
Red huge moon before I go to sleep.
Red huge moon as I dream he would love me, too
In an unattainable dream under the impossible red huge moon.

the night I met him
psyche Jan 2022
And so I cut the red string
to see if it was really love
or peace that I'll be
waving my sleeves with

And to my wonder,
I met both.

Now I am starting
my stiches
repairing the damage
and confusions

this red string
hath brought
to my oh so curious
heart.
I wanted him back,
but being at peace without him
holds me back.
psyche Aug 2014
Once, I rode a ride.
Twice, I saw the life.
Thrice, I hang on there.
Now, regrets I have.
psyche Nov 2021
You've renamed
love and let it be
known to me

only to be reminded
of why I had to forget it
on the first place.
Why?
psyche Apr 2020
The ambiance you left in your room
Your name carved
on a wooden cabinet

The smell of your perfume
in someone else's shirt

and that stupid song from
a neighbor's radio
you used to sing

The wilted flower
between the pages
of my old dusty journal

That
beautiful tragic love story
I'd never get over with...
...and I am still mourning.

psyche Jun 2021
I was jealous
I had no right to.

I miss him
I have no right to.

I want to love him
I shall not have the right to.

And so I left...
The only right thing
I have the right to.
psyche Oct 2020
She fully knows
how she's entitled
to feel

but every time
she looks at him,
she realizes...

she isn't
anyone who
would have had
the right to.
for they both deserve better
psyche Sep 2021
What reason
will be enough
to take the risk?

drive?
thirst?
longing?
desire?
intimacy?
love?
life?
uncertainty..
not what's in the ending
but what's to the ending.
psyche Apr 2021
I wish it could be
as easy as breathing-
to forget people who cause us pain.

But I often forget...
sometimes
even breathing is the hardest

when you were eaten
by rotten lies.
psyche Feb 2021
Glass do break
when it kisses ground
but not all
shattered pieces
would stay at surface
for life.

That's how gravity
rules the earth;
that's how love
invades hearts.
Everything that falls
falls apart.
psyche Dec 2018
Can someone tell me
how a heart could break
a promise
bound by the love it had given
like a rule a brain
hath set?

Perhaps
it is the most traitor
thing on earth..

it's willing to break itself
by breaking a promise
or a rule

or
both.
psyche Jun 2021
And among those
tiny million kinds of sadness
the one that's left
is the one that lingers long.
For it leaves us scars
to be reminded of.
psyche Jun 2020
Watching your life
from pictures,
I, for once,
had been
a part of...
and I'd be too much of a great hypocrite if I'd say I'm happy that you are now happy...
without my shadows.
psyche Jun 2021
I told him my secrets.
He gave back lies.
I believed,
He left

...
psyche Aug 2021
Listen not
to what he could utter
for words do fleet
while deeds don't lie

What man wants to
he'll let you see through...
psyche Apr 2017
Tell me something love can do
while finding ways to ease this pain
Whisper all how care could lie
I'd slay by sword; you mark my words

And while I shout all the doubt inside
hand me the trust you once hath promised
There, under the love we once caressed
that laid beneath the deepest crest

We no longer do
We've known it
yet we pretend
psyche Mar 2021
She fights battles
her smiles
would never
tell

she stands
and dusts
her knees
like nothing hurts

and everytime
she breathes,
she reminds me
of how a warrior
should live.
She isn't just a woman.
She is a WOMAN.
psyche Mar 2021
I came to silence
in thoughts of protection
against the chaotic noise of love

Only to realize how
all my silent screams
could **** a heart

If only I wasn't too late...

Maybe I could have
saved myself from drowning.

it was always from myself
whom I have to protect
myself of.
psyche Mar 2021
I do hate that I love
silence so much

for it can heal
as much as it can ****

both
the brokens.
psyche May 2016
i gave my whole trust
he returned it with excess doubt
now both of us weigh life
lingered in pseudo rotten love
psyche Sep 2017
You’ll know what love’s supposed to be
when from ages til ages
you’ve fallen and crashed into pieces

You’ll know how time could heal
if all wounds have been bleeding
you wouldn’t feel any better
right til you’ve drowned from reality

*You’ll know;
someday
you will
psyche Feb 2021
Does it hurt to love someone from afar?

-No.
What pains me more
is loving someone so near
without being able
to touch him.

Someone you are always with
and should never
be in love with.
psyche Feb 2022
He gave me sparkles

Like how fireworks
explode on New Year's eve.

Grand.
Loud.
Kaleidoscopic.

and then
Gone.
I should've wished
for a firefly instead.
psyche Feb 2021
We both adore
how lightning stiked
a post of nest
with pain we hate.

And when we both fell
we felt a force
of being moved apart...

apart
from where we used
to nest.

apart
from the rest

apart
from all comfort
we were at best

apart
from all the sparkling
magical glitters

we both felt

when thousands of voltage
hit us right straight
to heart.
now we walk
on a thunderstorm,
as we smell all the aftermath
brought by a hurricane
of being apart.
psyche May 2021
I used to envy spiders
for having that marvelous power
of creating homes without windows and doors.

for nothing could remind them
how painful it is
when someone leaves.

And I couldn't help
but feel amazed
by how they trap insects
and leave not a single debris.
psyche Jun 2020
The mechanics are just easy...

Someone spins you around
in the middle of the universe
letting all the forces
stop you from choosing
who you really wanted,
so you end up
taking turns
until everyone leaves
you

alone and empty.
psyche May 2020
You had no idea
how many times
I've tried...

until I've fin'lly came
to realize.
psyche May 2020
I wrote your name on a sticky note
along with the words
"I need to forget!!!"

so I won't forget
that I need to forget.
