On the surface, all typical answers,

Stay in shape, and keep the weight off,

I enjoy, and love the competitive spirit,

I want to beat you at the finish line,
and then shake your hand,

I want to be your friend and wish you good luck

I want to stand next to you on the podium

But I run deep,

I run because I have to replenish the blood loss,
From the heart I keep cutting open,

I run because I hurt you,

I run because I broke so many promises,

I run from a past which haunts me,

I run like the wind needing to escape,

I run for my future,

I run for my life

Firewalker

The hotel balcony is the highest
That I could get, just as lying down
On the greener grass in Luneta Park
Is the lowest that I could ever be,
All because she is with me,
All because my hand fits, feels just
Right about her hand, and all because
All the warmest stars kept on
Staring back at us, inspired.
We are the farthest satellite
That they could ever find.*

I never knew in time
Id encounter a girl so fine.
You'd only see perfections
As her beauty is so divine

I wish id meet someone like her
Someone so imperfect youd never want another.
Someone who'd change your fragmented self
With all the happiness she made you felt

Love is a game we ought to find...
We wander,wonder,look back.
Things we've left behind..
Enjoying the chase, hurting ourselves.
keeping us blind..

Never knew love would be this fine.
Finding a girl youd care for..
Then losing her in time
For she was the girl I love the most..
I cared for..
But was never mine.

White walls
White beds
White floors

White sheets
White tiles
White gowns

White faces
White eyes
White lights

Slip me in an envelope
seal me in safety
put a stamp on and,
address to anywhere
I don't want to know
And really do not care
as long as no one
Can see the inverted me.
