how cruel
is fate
when it decided to
take you from me
without a word
without a kiss
there must be
some compensation
in this sadness
in this newfound loneliness
there must be
some reward
for those who endures
this one-sided affair
there must be
some love
amid the betrayal
because you have been taken from me
without permission
without warning
nothing
but an uneasiness
during that jeepney ride
from home to school
and tears
all throughout my life
this world
is so unforgiving sometimes.
