Intricacy.
Meruem Dec 2018
Attention to detail;
Something I want, but couldn't give.
I'm a complete mess,
Is this something etched in me?
Am trying my very best,
Maybe I'll never understand.
A bit of sleight of hand,
What a craftsman would I be?

Seeking a familiar place.

Beers and Cigarettes.
Meruem Dec 2018
Lately I've been drinking a lot
Smoking near the parking lot
Alcohol for the wound
Nicotine to feel good
The next day I'll be sober
And hope it'll all be over.

Alam mo yung nakaiinis?
Hindi naman sa pagmamalinis;
Itong pait sadyang labis,
Pahingi naman ng konting bilis.
Matagal lang talaga siguro yung balik nito. Masyadong mabigat eh, tiis lang. Padayon!

Crying Over You.
Meruem Dec 2018
You don’t mean to be a problem
You don’t mean to cause me pain
You don’t mean to do much but it’s one and the same

I don’t know where this came from
I thought we were plain sailing
This has taken me aback and it goes without saying

Yeah I’m gonna feel broken for a bit
Life’s gonna be a little bit ****
Ohh, for at least the next week

We had our flaws I’ll be the first to admit
And we both struggled to commit
Ohh, was it really that bleak?
(c) Honne

Man, my homie Honne gone mad with this one. How I wish I heard the second verse from you, probably would make things a lot easier.

Well, acceptance is key.

When this timeline is hit,
And the timeclock ticks,
You'll hear those engines clink,
And I'll re-arrange all of this.

Better charge the portal gun,
Get buckled up on the Space Cruiser.

I won't wish for anyone to be here,
A place that I brought myself into
For too many times.
It's empty, but not completely dark.
Low, but there's still light to follow.
December 11, 2018 - 00:53

I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
And a front row seat up right by the phone
'Cause you're always on my mind
And I'm running out of time.

(500) Days Of Autumn.
Meruem Dec 2018
Final scene of the movie:
Tom met this one particular girl.
They used to go to the same plaza,
But Tom wasn't looking.

The narrator goes:
"There's no such thing as fate..
Nothing is meant to be.
He knew, he was sure of it now."

A slight hint of hope,
A second chance in love.
Tom asked her out, she said sure.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Autumn.."

A quick getaway
Or a long vacay
Doesn't matter whether you go alone
As long as you can finally feel at home.

I Wish I Knew.
Meruem Dec 2018
The moment I stop writing about you,
The time that I am not longing for you,
The day my heart stops bleeding,
Then I'll just know; God I wish I knew.
I can't stop writing about you
I am still longing for you
My heart can't stop bleeding, pleading
So I can't know, I wish I knew.

Losing You.
Meruem Dec 2018
How would you feel if I walked up to you one day
And ripped your heart out?
How would you feel if I said to you
"That's how I feel you're treating me"
"That's how I feel that you're treating me"

And how would you feel if I walked up to someone else
And ripped their heart out?
How would you feel if I said to you
"That's how I feel"

How could you lie to me time and time again?
I'm getting tired of everything you say
But I want you anyway

Yeah I feel like I'm losing you
Oh how can that be true?
I know you want me too.

Something's wrong however we put it.

I still have the letter and postcards,
The PO receipt i keep it with me.

Am still hungover post-downtime.
There's so much time ahead of me. After it all, I need to focus on the present, as this will build my future. Padayon~

Insert Coin To Continue.

Only got a single penny left.
To be, or not to be?
Game over!

To be, or not to be. Words from the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. They begin a famous speech by Prince Hamlet in which he considers suicide as an escape from his troubles: “To be, or not to be: that is the question.”

Itong Liham, Aking Laham.
Meruem Nov 2018
"Ayoko na. Pagod na ako."
Oo, parang tumigil ang mundo ko.
Sa isang iglap, nawala lahat.
Pagmamakaawa hindi naging sapat.

Siguro nga mali na kinilig ako
Noong unang beses kitang kinausap.
Kinabahan ako ng todo,
Kasi lahat ng naramdaman ko totoo.

Nikka, hindi mo naman ako masisisi.
Sino bang hindi mahahalina sayo?
Kahit siya na may galit at nasaktan,
Sinabi na sayo ako'y mapapamahal.

Masaya ako na nakilala kita.
Mabuti na siguro na malaya ka na.
Pero alam mo ba, sa loob ko may nagsasabi na sana sumugal ka sakin.
Hayaan mo, sakin nalang yun.

Isa akong sinungaling.
Napakarami kong kasalanan sayo.
Pero isa lang ang masisigurado ko,
Sobrang mahal na mahal kita.

Pangako na ako'y narito pa rin,
Kung kailan mo ako kakailanganin.
Kahit na sobrang alanganin,
Lahat ng pait at sakit ay kakayanin.

Alam mo? Tama siguro sila Juan.
Na dapat mag-move on na ako.
Pero hindi, sigurado ako sayo eh.
Baka sa kabilang buhay maging tayo.
Ps. Sana maging masaya ka. Mag ingat ka.

Pps. Sana hindi mo to mabasa..

Nagmamahal,

Yung lalaking mangungutang para makabili lang ng ticket ng eroplano papunta sayo.

But only she can fill and light up this void that consumes me deep inside.

Kapag mainit, palalamigin.
Kapag malamig, paiinitin.
Nasa kumunoy ka, sa gilid may lubid at bato;
Maghihintay ka pa ba na may sumagip sayo?
"Wag **** lunurin sarili mo kakagalaw, kakasigaw, kakapiglas, para lang may ibang taong sumagip. Kasi ikaw mismo may kakayanan ka!"

"Kapag nasa gitna ka ng dagat, magpadala ka muna sa alon. Kapag may gamit at kakayanan ka na pumalaot, at tsaka mo labanan ang agos."

Uncertainties
Meruem Oct 2018
It's unbearable, indeed, to be a human.
All these uncertainties, not knowing what to do or what will happen next.
I am trying to walk outside just to find a world that's still beautiful.
I'll try to avoid the impulse to grieve what's still wild and alive.
For me to get by, I guess I'll have to continue being a rose-colored boy; your rose-colored boy.

Faces, Phases.
Meruem Oct 2018
I was really surprised when you came,
But I knew that I was genuinely happy with you.
Now, I get so afraid that I might lose you.
I am angry at myself for letting this be.

We started as total strangers.
Worked our way out to become friends.
Turns out we just have to be lovers.
Let's not go back to this stranger thing again.

Figures
I can't blame you if you can't learn to trust
Love figures
I said sorry once, and I know it's not enough
You can have a lineup of girls and a lineup of guys begging for you just to give them a try
Figures
Please stay
And be sick for my love

If you wish you could hurt me back
Love, I'd rather die if I couldn't get you back
I'm the one whose gonna lose
Something so special, something so real
That's how the **** I would feel
If I couldn't get you back
Then you got your wish that you could do to me
Yeah, figures.

Habang sinusulat ko itong talata,
Ikaw ang aking naaalala.
Kung ito man ay iyong mababasa,
Sana'y mag-iwan ng magandang alaala.

Hindi inaasahan ang iyong pagdating.
Pagod kong puso, iyong ginising.
Buhay ko'y binigyan ng ningning,
Ikaw lang ang gustong makapiling.

Sa kabila ng lahat ng mga nangyari,
Iyo sanang mawari.
Na ikaw ay laging mananatili,
Sa puso kong ikaw lamang ang nagmamay-ari.
Langga, sorry kaayo sa mga kasalanan ko sayo. Pinagsisisihan ko lahat. Hayaan mo, hindi ka na iiyak ulit. At wag ka ring mag-alala. Sa pag-alis kong to, lagi kong bitbit yung mga magagandang alala at bagay na binigay mo sakin. Kahit san man ako magpunta, ikaw pa rin yung nagbibigay ng dahilan sakin para maging mas mabuting tao, para alagaan ang sarili ko. Sana hindi mo ko makalimutan. Sana maging masaya ka. Alagaan mo sarili mo. Mahal na mahal kita, at sobrang mamimiss kita. ~

Ps. Patuloy lang akong magsusulat ng tula para sayo. Kapag masaya o malungkot, dito nalang kita kakausapin. Dito ko nalang ilalabas lahat ng gusto kong sabihin.

RE: Horoscope
Meruem Sep 2018
It's hard to make decisions this week.
Am I blaming myself too much?
I know I shouldn't think I can muscle my way through,
Every impasse, every difficulty.

The sky, and the earth, even my own instincts are telling me to hold still.
I. Am. Trying.
Time is still indeed a mystery,
Stretching and bending.

Yes, everything doesn't need to happen at once.
But I just don't know what to do?
Oh God! Please give me a sign.
I wonder what's beyond that fine line?

Mirasol.
Meruem Sep 2018
Ako'y minsan ng naligaw,
Sa ilalim ng kalangitang bughaw.
Isang napakalawak na hardin,
Na agad pumukaw ng aking paningin.

O, Mirasol!
Namumukod tangi ang tanglaw.
Sinubukan ko itong pitasin,
Itinuring na sariling akin.

Sa lakas ng ihip ng hangin,
Di ko namalayan na ito'y tatangayin.
Sinubukan ko itong sagipin,
Ngunit sa huli, ako pa rin ang salarin.
Minsan, di natin naiisip na sa isang iglap o isang pagkakamali ay maaaring mawala satin yung bagay na pinakaiingatan natin. Kung kelang huli na ang lahat tsaka natin mapagtatanto na kahit na napakaraming bulaklak sa hardin, hindi na natin mapapalitan yung nag iisang bulaklak na napili natin kapag ito'y nalagas na.
