Undeserving
- Jan 2017
After all the poems she read about love, and all the poems she wrote telling people about what they deserve; she was still defeated.
She still lost, as we all had.

Because the love we deserve may not deserve us, *but it will still have us regardless.

On Love Lost -
- Jan 2017
You see, the hardest thing to endure when you lose someone is not the part where you see him walking away or running even; it's not her shutting the door closed or shouting at you begging to let her go. If anything else, I think that's the end of it.

For the longest time, I thought one only loses someone when they finally got away from each other. Who could've thought that even if we're centimeters apart, and even if my arms are wrapped around you... I still lost you.

I still recall the first time I lost you.

I lost you the moment I looked into your eyes expecting them to shine but all I got were empty glances. The reflection I saw was not at all about me, it's you I see, and I see you're not happy. I lost you the moment I asked about your plans and you kept talking about how you wanted to see the world and make a difference and not even once did you use the word "we". I lost you the moment I tried to write you letters only to find them underneath your pillowcase, sealed, unopened, unread.

I lose you every time I try to gain you back and the hardest thing about losing someone who forced themselves to stay... *is continuously losing them every day.

On Love -
- Jan 2017
I hope you find the love you deserve -
The kind of love that makes every atom in your body feel adored, the kind of love that makes life worth living, the kind of love that greets you good morning and always awake; and kisses you good night but never sleeps, the kind of love that makes you enjoy the rain and dance under the stars never worrying about catching a cold because this kind of love also provides you warmth. I hope you find love, and if it's taking too long... I hope it finds you.

You gave me life
Only to **** me again

I guess death is not the lack of life; it's living for someone else's eyes
only to find out they weren't looking

Fallen
- Jan 2017
Humans are angels
who were prohibited to leave

They are angels
who fell toward the earth
only to keep on falling
toward someone else

They are angels
who were tasked to stay
maybe for a purpose
or for a role
or sometimes
only for a while

But be cautious
because as soon as they get attached to someone;
their wings start to grow

before you even blink
they've already flown

Horizon

That line you see where the sky and the sea meets is the exact same line that separates them

I am the sea
You are the sky
Love is our horizon

Scars
- Jan 2017
that's the thing about endings
whether you see it coming or you don't
it doesn't matter

one day upon waking up you realize nothing's the same,
everything has changed
and you're hurting

you have woken up either sore from relief  - like as if a splinter has finally been removed out of your finger - or sore from a wound you thought has been healed but got infected
which, i dont know

two things you'll be left with:
(1) memories no one can ever replace
and (2) scars no one can ever erase

Keeper
- Dec 2016
Like the shadow stringed to Peter Pan's shoes, he is always there for her

Like the Piped Piper who saved the people of Hamelin from the plague, he keeps her safe

Like Miguel leaving El Dorado's gold for more adventures with Tulio, he always chooses her

Like Pacha who took care of Emperor Kuzco as a llama, he provides her needs

Yet like Lightning McQueen and Mater, Buzz and Woody, Dory and Marlin, Mike and Sully, they will always remain friends.

Lightning & Thunder
- Dec 2016
She was the lightning
elusive and too fast

and he was the thunder
who keeps on chasing after her
never really getting tired
no matter how many times
he misses

who knows?
maybe one day
when he's a bit faster
and she's a bit closer
and the wind and the heat
the electrons and the charges
all agree,
they will meet
they will dance
and all the earth will hear them shout


*because after all
thunder is alive
only because there's
lightning

she's strong
she's vulnerable
but she never cries
she's nice
she has a lot of friends
she will fight for you
because she cares
she loves too much
she pours so much effort
in making others happy
in hopes of making herself smile too
she's strong
she's tough

to sum it up
she's an angel
with a shotgun


but no,
she's not gonna hurt you



she's fragile
she breaks
but she never shows it
she screams
but she doesn't let you hear it
she dies
but you will see her living
laughing
enjoying
life
as if she truly is




Bang!

Bang!



*(don't be scared,
no one's hurt..

except her)

what if the sky fell in love with the earth? what if the clouds fell in love with the tip of the mountain and plateaus? maybe it's true that you can love someone even if the only thing you can touch is her facade; even if the only thing you can linger to is her surface.

what if you can love someone even if you've never seen her wholly? maybe you can really fall for someone even if you know you will miss her for life.

And among all various forms of love, the love between the sky and the earth will always stay as a tricky one.. it will never end - because the sky will continue to look after the earth no matter what the winds and the sun and the dirt say - **but it will never start either.

"You have always wanted to save the world. But Darling, the world does not need your help. You have carried the weight of the world on your own when it does not need to be carried. It's okay. It is okay if you can't save the world. It's okay even if you can't save half of it. Heck, it's okay if you can only save one person...and it's okay if that person is yourself."

there are four stages of healing wounds
1. your red blood cells will form a blood clot to stop the bleeding; then your wound would be swollen
2. white blood cells capture and fight rogue bacteria
3. fibroblast cells would enter, drop collagen and form connective tissues again
4. your skin will connect and contract and be out much stronger than before

but among all wounds, a broken heart is the hardest to heal
1. your heart will not be swollen, it would be numb, and there will be days when you don't even know if you still have it. it would be a black hole for quite some time, it will **** anything and everything you used to love and leave you with nothing
2. you won't have the capability to fight rogue bacteria if anything you may actually succumb yourself with it; sometimes you may even let it control you until you forget that you own yourself
3. and then when it hits you, you will feel everything again all at once - the pain of lost love, melancholy, longing. you will realize how much you have loved and how much you have lost. now what you do is you bounce back, but how?
4. at this stage you must already be stronger than what you used to be, but for broken hearts, this may take a while, or it may take bottles and a lot more bottles of alcohol, or it may need a quiet moment for you to think straight, some just let time heal it. but the good thing is, healing a broken heart is actually a choice.
yet unlike all other wounds, it can be fixed in two ways
1. you seek for someone who can hold your hand while you fix yourself
2. you fix yourself alone

*you chose the first one, I'm choosing number two

I'm meant to be by your side

I am the spider crawling underneath your clothes
but you're not afraid of me

I am the moon who keeps a part of herself hidden
But I'm always the full moon for you

I am the shadow that stalks you through the day
and crawls under your sheets at night

I am the wind that whispers to your ears
and breezes through your body

I am flawed, and *******, and aimless
but I love you
from the deepest and dustiest corners of my heart
