there's this pattern
that I keep on going circles at
for everything I gained
I lost something in return
but I guess
I just never understand
which losses were worth losing
and which gains were worth acquiring

Caveat

don't date broken girls
my mom said
i retorted
"but they deserve to be loved too"
and so i loved a broken girl more than
anything
i didn't realize she will break me too

Nov. 1
This is for my broken hearted friend.

why not me?

tell me
what went wrong
was it because
i wasn't that strong
or it was that
i forgot to write you love songs
or maybe
i waited for you far too long
in between your words
you pronounced "him" differently
i wondered if there was a difference
between him and me
that so much
your eyes turn to him
and never me

I wrote this for a friend.

Elicit Recollection

old wounds rip open
those empty words from your mouth
the tear in my flesh
pulling me apart
inside out

cuts on the edges of my fingers
coloring the pages
words and sketches
of the notebook that I owned

bruises on the cover
its hue like a gentle blue
all this things inside
reminds me of you

what a great affliction
a euphoria for the twisted
cure this brain
with the sound
of your name

Poltergeist

time is just a fragment we created
it never existed before until
we draw it into our lives
never affected how we saw each other
until we spoke
its very existence started

you spun time in between your fingertips
you stretched the time between replies
until it went from seconds to hours
months to years

you did it so gracefully that one
can consider it as an art

the truth

How did you get your heart broken?
I've cross the ocean for someone
whom I'm not meant to be with.

Wala Lang

ikaw yung wala lang
sagot ko sa tanong na
Ano ang iniisip mo?
"Wala Lang"
wala lang kasi hindi ko masabi ng buo
ang pangalan mo
na sa totoo lang pinilit kong kinakalimutan
at sana sa susunod
pag tinanong ulit ako
kung ano yung nasa isip ko
masasabi ko na ang mga katagang
"nakalimutan ko na"
