Two roads diverged within her heart,
One bound by vows, the other past—
I hoped she’d choose to stand apart,
From ties that held her firm and fast,
But love she gave would never last.

I spoke of paths we both had crossed,
Of how I chose her over mine—
Yet to her own she turned and lost
The chance to walk with hands entwined,
A love divided, left behind.

A thousand times I let her know,
Yet still she strayed where I was not—
A bond undone, the weight would grow,
Till truth revealed what she forgot—
Her heart was sworn, but love was not.

And so in time, the day will break,
Her path will call, as paths must do—
The choice she made, the road she’d take,
Will lead her far from what she knew,
And I must take my own road too.

The Droplets

Tiny Little Droplets
Like a rain of Fire
Today you remind me
How cruel life has been
I deeply thank you
 
Tiny Little Droplets
Flows to a stream
Tonight you will reach
The end of your line
Then I bid you farewell
 
Tiny Little Droplets
Sublimes through the sky
Tomorrow I shall see
You shall be there no more
I will surely be missing you

I have been wondering, I guess ages by now.
Searching, seeking that Promised Land.
I looked as far beyond the horizon.
Where it might be, I asked?

I have been searching, I guess ages by now.
But where am I to go?
I’m still wondering ten forth, ages by now.
I think I am lost, it seems.

I am seeking, I guess ages by now.
But still haven't found.
Oh forgive me my lady.
I should have stayed, I grieved.

I am thinking just by now.
Oh what a foolish man I am.
I just wasted that precious prime.
Searching, seeking something never meant to be found.

Bayan ko, Bayan kung sinilangan
Saan ka ngayon matatagpuan
Kagandahan mo't perlas bakit lumagapak?
Bayan ko, Bayan ko tinalikuran kanang lahat.

Kalunos lunos na hagupit sa bayan ko'y sumapit
Pagkat mga kababayan ko
Sa salapi naaakit, tila wala nang malasakit sa Bayang nagigipit.

Wala na ang mga tunay na bayani, mga mapagbalat kayo tila naghahari.
Mga pangakong tila binaon sa kabaon.
Saan naba tayo ngayon?

Bayan kong tinatangi.
Paanu ba magagapi kung ang mananakop ay kauri.
Masdan mo silang mag hari
Ang Bayan ko'y naging isang malaking munti..

The fall has come
too soon before I knew.
The wind is blowing
as the leaves are falling.
How could this be?
Feeling so cold and I am all alone.

I care for you even
if you won’t bother to care.
I missed you even
you wouldn’t remember.
I think much of you even
you wouldn’t do.

As the sun has to set,
waiting and wanting
to hold you in my arms again
but too late for me to see
that you are gone

I dreamed of you
but I wonder if you do?
I cried so hard even
you won’t hear me so
I have done this,
It's because I love you so...

After the cold bitter nights
without you by my side,
here I stand beside a tree
watching the last leaf as it falls
like my tear that has fallen for you
CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Here laying on the ground
Watching those leafs as it falls
As the wind passed by so slow
I could still hear that laughter’s we've shared
Why couldn't I stop thinking about you?

It makes me sad
Watching those stars up above
As the Shooting stars goes by so fast
I still remember those night you're by my side
Why couldn't I bring that time back?

Why am I feeling this way?
Watching you just passed me by
As the bell banging so loud
I can't believe this was happening
Why couldn't I hear you calling me anymore?

It makes me weep
Watching those raindrops as it drifts
As they close that long box's lid
I could see except the lovely face of yours
Why couldn't you come to see me my dear?

Here I have wait, sitting beside
Watching the lovely sun about to sets
As the Sky begins to fade grey
I could hear you sobbing by my side
Why couldn't I speak to say I’m sorry and goodbye?
