I love drawing goosebumps on your skin
with my fingertips

let me start off by apologizing to you for introducing myself as the person you'll get to know to love. for being the person you would've walked in front of a bus for.

I thought that the ones who left before you had burned me to a crisp, but your absence completely burned my whole body and all I am is ashes. I loved you with every piece of me and all I can do now is think about how you're dealing with your losses and if you're alright. sometimes when I'm lonely, I smother my face in your clothes because every stitch has a memory of you intertwined in it.

last night I tried to drink myself to death because I missed you too much. I told our friends that I was sorry and that I needed to do it. I locked myself in the bathroom and I drank and drank until I woke up in a pool of my own bile. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I love you.

I don't know why, but I really miss you tonight. I still love you, regardless of what you say to me. this is either gonna turn out incredible and astounding or absolutely devastating. I'm ready for either.

it's been two years since my best friend died and you told me that you were here for me, even if it didn't seem like it. I remembered the night when I went home and you called me to make sure I was alright. when I said no, you stayed on the phone with me as I cried and laughed. I didn't even think I was capable of laughing that night. I miss how things were. I still love you always.

you told every ******* person at that bonfire that i'm in love with you still. I took my clothes back and we argued in the car. it had never happened until that night. you threw my clothes in my face while you walked away crying and i'll never forgive myself for not going after you and apologizing. you ****** me over but I still love you.

I'm home now and I'm clean. now that I can see what you did to me, and by writing this out, I realize that you never deserved my love. I deserve better. I deserve someone who gives me as much as I give them. I wanted the world for you, and I still do, but I'm not gonna be there when it starts on fire.

I burned your sweatshirt and deleted everything of us off my phone. I deleted your number. I deleted you. I don't love you anymore.
to maria. i'm sorry I hurt you but i'm not sorry for erasing you. i'm happy.
It was in two minutes when it all started.
I was sitting on a bench under the Maple tree. You were the man who came and sat beside me. Then we started to talk. You asked simple questions to complicated ones. It was beautiful yet it's just only the beginning.

Two tables apart,
Two books on your hand,
Two persons in love behind me,
Two dark brown eyes gazing at me
As my two big eyes stared back.
You took two steps forward
When you lean two inches closer,
Two hearts beat in rhythm.
Then you said those two words,
Two words that normal people say
But when you said those two words,
As if two worlds crushed down on me.
*"Hi love."

We sit to eat dinner like a normal family,
But oh are you mistaken.
Our family is many things,
But normal is not one of them.

We can paint a pretty picture
But people don’t see clearly from the outside,
We are all holding knives to each other’s backs
If only you looked at thing from a different angle.

Father asked how my day was,
I told him I had a great time horseback riding,
Mother continued to stare incessantly at her plate
We all noticed but didn’t say anything.

I continued to speak of the fun I’ve had,
Mother mumbled under her breath
Sister piped in to ease the tension
Father got up to put his dish away.

Father made a coffee and a tea for Mother
Mother continued to sit at the table silently
I slowly picked at the food on my plate
Her pursed lips gave away her discontent.

Father went to the garage
Sister and held a conversation with me
While Mother was silently stewing about something
She opened her mouth to speak
I got ready for the worse.

Mother looked at my outfit and said
“Is that really what you wore today?”
It was a shirt and jeans; nothing wrong with it.
“Yes, why?” was all I replied

She sat on her thought for a moment continuing.
“Because you can see your cuts”
I sighed “ok, and? What’s your point?”
She huffed “they are nasty to look at”

“Then don’t look at them”
It was quite a simple solution
“You should cover them”
“If you don’t like them stop looking”

Mother got angry and stood up with a huff
“Why would you do such a stupid thing?!”
I bit my tongue
“It didn’t feel stupid at the time”

Mother continued to scream and cuss
I did my best to hold back the tears
Sister told Mother to stop
But Mother continued anyways

“You are so stupid, it doesn’t make sense”
A tear slowly escaped
“Cutting is dumb and you’re dumb for doing it”
I stayed silent
“I don’t understand why you would cut”
“Are you doing it to fit in?”
“Are you part of a cutting pact with your little friends?”
“Who told you to do this?”
“I thought you were stronger than that”
Tears flowed freely
“Well I guess you were wrong!” I shouted

Father burst in from the garage
He yelled at her to stop.
He made mother get away from me
Sister tried to comfort me.

I stood up and the chair flew behind me
My dinner plate was now scattered
I ran to my room crying.
Just once I wished we could have a normal family dinner.

– Not Your Average Family Dinner // F.C.
Family dinners can be stressful
Hindi ko mapigil / aywan ko kung bakit
Na bumaling sa’yo / nang paulit-ulit
Ilang beses ko mang / ipikit nang pilit
Didilat ang mata’t / magkukusang-titig
Sa bawat pagtitig / ay nanahimik
Ang lihim ng isang / sumaging pag-ibig
Sa bawat pagbaling / ay may pagnanais
Na masilid ikaw / sa diwa ko’t isip
Sa libong pagbaling / at libong pagpihit
Ang katumbas nito’y / pagsintang malinis
Nang dahil sa iyong / gandang nilalangit
Ang pihikang puso’y / nahaling nang labis
At ang larawan **** / sa aki’y umakit
Namugad sa puso’t / naging panaginip
Dahilan sa isang / ninakaw na titig
Mga puso nati’y / dagling napaibig
 Jul 2016 Eternal Threshold
Essen
Let it be known throughout the land
From highest peak to wettest sand
With sharpened tongue and steady hand
The talking frog is in command

With belly white and skin of lime
A hero for the modern time
He uppered fun and lowered crime
His skillset includes pantomime

Of all the kings he is the best
A chiseled jaw and manly chest
We even put him on our crest
(He helped to found the turnip fest)

A friendly frog we all adore
With lots of fun and games in store
He'll make us smile, he has before
We thank you, frog, for this and more!
Sorry it's been so long since I uploaded anything! I haven't been feeling much poetic inspiration lately. Rest assured that more Fun Poems for Cool People™ will be coming soon!
