I haven't met you yet,
But I will live for you
30 weeks
- Jul 2014
I am just a little star in your horizon
It's enough to see you glance at me once in a while
But then I craved and I yearned
Now I don't want to be just a tiny star
I want to be big enough to be the one you want
and close enough for you notice when gone,
*I want to be the sun

I wanna be the wanderer lost in your body*

I'll treat the lines of your hands as road maps;
your fingerprints as busy intersections

I wanna get lost in every corner of your body
exploring ‘til I see darkness and cobwebs on the insides of your ribcage

I wanna see every broken piece of your heart;
and mend them together, one by one, slowly and surely

I wanna get lost in your mind and hear your every thought
Your opinions, your dreams, your frustrations, and your sweet pillow talk
(I bet they’ll all be fascinating and depressing at the same time)

I’ll stay at the corners of your mouth
Your lips will be my pillow and bed, your words will be my bedtime stories

I wanna memorize your scars, and examine them
I’ll figure out everything behind every mark,
and know how they made you stronger

Your clavicle will be my resting place
after I travel through your veins

I’ll spend a week looking in your eyes, determining whether they’re black or a hue of dark hazelnut

I will travel along the lines of your face,
and observe how these lines wiggle as you smile, or frown, or cry

I’ll climb to the bridge of your nose,
and be amazed to see everything clearly

I’ll drop by your liver
and comfort it every time you gulp a six pack beer

I’ll pass by your lungs
and clean it after you finish a pack of cigars

I’ll protect you
I’ll accept everything that you are

It will take me forever to know every tiny detail of your body,
but I’m gonna love it
I am sure
because *I don't mind getting lost
as long as it's in you

You are composed of multiverses
and I am lost in each of them

The anchor that kept me still is the same anchor that drowned me

The waves that rattled your ship are the same ones that brought you home to the shore

I asked for a shooting star
You, yourself, are a meteor shower

Ironic how you giving too much does not suffice
Maybe I have heard too much of the theory that happened near the Gulf of Mexico, that one which made all the dinosaurs extinct

*Meteorites ****

I looked up and see the wonders of the night
half expecting that answers will just be in sight
though I knew from the start that there's nothing there
but still darkness and sparkles of light

If this is all the love I’ll ever know, if this is all the love I’ll ever get.. I’m content.

And I am the moon surrounded by a lot of little stars but still lonely. I am the moon still waiting for an eclipse to ever see your rays;

And I can only hope, that when dawn comes, you'll miss me too.
From the Moon to the Sun, With Love

Sometimes what you need is not something you can have nor gain. Sometimes what you need is a brief moment of nothing, a comma in a very long sentence, a pause in a long argument, a moment of silence..to hear nothing, see nothing, be nothing.

My watched stopped ticking the day we met again, and I swear I could hear your heartbeat even from meters away. How long has it been? God, I missed your face. I almost forgot how beautiful you were. You were even more beautiful than the day I lost you.

Time stood still
I stepped closer.
I reached for a hug,
...you let me.

My broken watch was the closest to forever I could ever be. Your heartbeat was the closest to heaven I would ever be.

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.

The good part is you can always find love;
the sad part is you don't always get to keep it

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.

The moment when you start acknowledging that you are lost is the same moment when you find your way home.

The last petal fell
The magic did fade away
But the beast remained the beast
And everyone remained still

The clock struck midnight
The glass shoe broke
She, the mysterious girl,
was never found again

And our story starts
It's past midnight
The magic faded a long time ago
But unlike those mushy fairy tales
We didn't have a curse to break
*So we broke our hearts instead

i asked you
a thousand times before
to write me a letter
no matter how short or
no matter how long
because i fall harder for words

for almost four years
you didnt write to me
not even once

and when you finally did
you dont know how happy
you made me feel receiving
a six page letter
handwritten
front and back
it goes

it goes...
and it cuts..
these paper cuts
they bleed

*but not as much as the words you said

Know what keeps you warm
and let it burn you
- Apr 2016
I will keep on writing
until I run out of words
until I run out of thoughts
I will keep on writing
until I can no longer
write your name
I will keep on writing
until I can forget
like how you did
or like what you're doing

I will keep on writing
until I can no longer feel
whatever it is you made me feel
I will keep on writing
until I can no longer read
the words you have written
that I've assumed
are for me

I will keep on writing
I will write you away
I will write the pain away

I will keep on writing
until my heart accepts
until these what ifs stop
until these maybes disappear

I will keep on writing
until I can no longer write
about you
about us
about how much
about how late
about how
about what
about when
about why

I will keep on writing
until I can finally put the period
that would end everything

I will keep on writing
until I stop
and when I do stop
you'll know
that even though it was so hard for me
I no longer, nor will ever
write again for you


So here it is
*.

The moon doesn't have a dark side. Hence just because you don't see something doesn't mean it's bad; just because you don't see it doesn't mean it hides.

You never really lose people
parts of them always stay with you

And it's both beautiful and sad to think
that we are all composed of pieces
from the people who broke us

and by which we are complete
- Apr 2016
never thought it would be that easy

all it took
were two hands
two bottles gulped
two stomachs with nothing but butterflies
two trapped hearts
two lonely souls
a hug
a tight one
another one
a gaze
a warm gaze
a soft touch
a soft voice
telling me to just look at the stars
when there's none
and pretend that cranes
were giraffes looking after the city
and a kiss
on a forehead
we both know we're trapped
but we pretended

you told me you were home
and i couldn't get any happier
for you
step by step you were recovering yourself
and step by step
you made me lose mine

and time's up
we had to part ways
but whatever chance we had, we took
whatever it took, we did
and another kiss
closer
closer
your hugs were tighter
closer

then we faded

and even after all the fights
I think I fought,
I am still afraid

no matter what happens

I don't want to be afraid anymore

Push me away
I will stray

Pull me closer
I will stay

Lift one finger
I will flutter

Lift all up
I will jump

Everything you want
You just command

I will do all
Even fall

It will make me numb
But don't worry about it
I'm already broken
to begin with

My lips are sealed
My mind is blank

Just pull the string
no matter how thin
You'll see me coming
back to you, *Darling

You were this vast empty space
with a strong gravity pull
that could have ****** me up
but did not

And I am the voyager
longing to get lost somewhere else
but no matter how hard I try to get into you
I could not

And like any other phenomena
They were curious about her
"How does she start? Where does she end?" "What is she made of?" "When does she fade?"
Wrote myths and tales about her
"On her edges, there are pots of gold." "And these pots of gold, they are guarded by trolls."

But they cannot figure her out
Like a rainbow on a rainy afternoon
before they even get to know her, she was gone

Excerpt from a famous saying of an unknown author
- Jun 2014
I’m trying to act cold
because I wanna feel numb
but inside I’m burning
with love, with madness
for you

I’m trying to push you away
because I don’t wanna be the girl
you walked away from
but my heart misses yours
you know I wanna hug you

I’m trying to look tough
because I am too tired of feeling weak
but inside my chest is a black hole
******* up everything I need
but not you

I'm trying to forget,
but I can't
if only willingness is enough
but it isn't

This war is not a cleanse,
Red is not the color of water*

He promised a bloodbath, he delivers
Blood in his hands, he waves
His men with guns, in rage
All those against him: a huge price they paid

and if you still think this is normal,
if you still think this is for the common good,
you
are part of the war
you are the weapon
you are the gun

the gun that killed innocent lives and called it "collateral damage", the gun that pushed cops to **** lives to meet their quota, the gun that went from one hand to another to another and was finally kept hidden by the man on the chair

"How well would you sleep tonight?"
"Brother, why do you have blood on your hands?"

Is a reflection of who you are today

So tell me,

Ask her
and you'll know
her version of the story

Ask him
and you'll hear
his side of the story

If you wanna know what truly happened, *who should you ask?

I think I will always remember
how your hands fit in mine
how your hugs forced my broken pieces to fit
how your words, our words, seemed to rhyme
how your kisses blew the pain away

I think I will always remember
how happy we made each other feel

I think I will always remember
how we chose to be right

I think what will always stay with me
is how easily you have let go

Hold your head up, love
The waves, they crash
The raindrops fall
It’s okay for you to stumble
Yet the tides rest
The storm ends
Get on your feet,
do your best

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

If parallel universes are true
I will find the one

I'm a plain white canvas
waiting to be filled
with lovely colors

day by day
I try hard
to fill myself up
with smooth textures
and gorgeous gradients

and then you came by
spilling and splashing
splattering black ink
all over the beautiful painting

and now no matter how hard
I try to cover it up
that cannot change the fact
that the canvas, nay, I
*was already ruined

Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, The Colloseum
These are all built in ruins
All beautiful pieces
All fascinating

Hence don't ask me
Why I look at you
Like a piece of art

Darling, don't hide
Brokenness is beautiful
*You are fascinating
Hi if youre reading this here's a hug!!!

Been wishing to saved
Even if deep in your heart you knew
The only person that could save you
Is you

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

I am composed of the people I have met
And my heart aches knowing that most of them
Are the same people I have lost

She paints smiles on people's faces
But she can't paint one for herself

Day by day, she tries
Everyday, she fails


Until she came up with an idea
of painting her last canvas
She wants it to be memorable
and so she did it

Not with a brush, but with a razor
Not on a paper, but on her wrist
And the colors were not pastels
nor watercolors, but it was red.
It was blood.
And it spilled
Til it was too much.


True enough, her masterpiece
was remembered
It was seen as a symbol of sin by some,
some say it's simply tragic
some try to understand
--and for her that's art--
Something that tells a story
sad and beautiful at the same time

*The painter wanted to be a masterpiece
And so
she became one

She's the ocean, people describe her as color blue. But she is not just one color: she's cyan, and turquoise, navy blue, and white. She's green and blue-green and sometimes brown. She's a spectrum of a lot of colors.

She's the ocean, people describe her tides as low and high, shallow and deep; but she isn't just about the extremes, her range cannot be measured by just how she looks like.

She's the ocean, she can tear you apart and drown you when she's angry; but she can also help you sail to safety.

All these I know because I fell in love with her, but I have a lot to learn. *She's the ocean, a lot of parts still unknown.

But this time,
It's comfortable
It's not defeaning
It's calm

I believe this is peace.
