see from a far
a million little stars
but feeling like an empty void
where existence is none
stars slowly fading away
into the opaque night
I wonder why.
do I feel so alone?
maybe I'm just a light bulb, and you deserve the stars.

Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

Parang papatak na,
Mula sa aking mga mata,
Matang kay lungkot,
May pinipilit ilimot.

Silakbo nitong puso,
Pusong nagdurugo,
Alam ko naman ang dahilan,
Ngunit hindi alam ba't nasasaktan.

Pinukaw ng sakit,
Kalungkuta'y iginiit,
Alam ko naman kung bakit,
Kaya ganito pala ka pait.

Ang katotohanan,
Sa ating pagmamahalan
Ang tanging nagdulot,
Ng poot na sa puso ko'y nanuot.

Paano ko ba papakawalan?
Kapag wala nang maramdaman,
Huli na ba ang lahat?
Ito ba ay nararapat?

Ito ba ang mapapala ko?
May nadadama pa ba ako?
Ang sagot ay isang "Oo",
Patunay ang mga luha kong dumaloy dahil sa'yo
