tulad ng himig ng mga awit ng pag-ibig,
ang tamis ng lambing na hatid ng mga ito.
kung may tinig ang pagmamahal,
maaaring ito ay boses mo.
tulad ng sinabi ko sa'yo, mas mapagmahal ang mga tulang isinulat sa lengguwaheng filipino.

two-sentenced sad love story
scarmaya nicole Dec 2022
i asked the moon to take care of him.
he rarely goes out every night.
how can i love you when you're not only out of my reach, but out of my sight as well?

memories hurt
scarmaya nicole Sep 2022
memories are treasures
that you're supposed to bring
not a pin that u have to endure,
that keeps u from moving

go on, move forward
and stop being a coward
close the door and just leave
remember, nostalgia deceives
memories remind me of beautiful days and pain me at the same time by keeping me at a place where i can't move forward nor backwards.

A Sad Principle
scarmaya nicole May 2022
"If I want to be treated right, I have to be pretty."
- a maddening truth in my life.
I want to say that this is not true, but looking at myself right now? I feel like I'm this dying flower covered by lots and lots of blossoming ones. I want to pretend that idc, I should. But god knows how much I'm starved with validation and affection. I guess... I just want someone to love me, despite of my flaws in and out.

tintang paubos
sulat dito, sulat doon,
inaalala ang pait ng kahapon.
mga gusot na papel sa ibabaw ng mesa,
iniiyak ang bigat ng dibdib sa mga letra.

nagpupuno ang mga salitang nagkakagulo,
kahit isang mensahe lamang ang nais iparating nito.
dudukutin sa isip lahat ng natitirang alaala,
hanggang ang lahat ng pag-ibig ko’y mawala na.

hindi pansin ang nangangalay na kamay,
pinapagod ang damdaming taglay.
sulat nang sulat gamit ang tintang paubos,
hanggang sa ang hinagpis ng puso'y matapos.

sa aking pagsulat ng huling salita,
at sa huling pagpatak ng aking tinta,
iiwan sa papel lahat ng poot at sakit,
kakalas sa plumang mahigpit ang pagkapit.
my last act of love, i think...

scarmaya nicole Jan 2024
when you have reached the depth of your internal suffering
that intense heaviness in your heart
and the most comforting part of your sorrow

to realize that you are done
the pleasuring guilt when you just had enough.

Moonlight
scarmaya nicole Jun 2021
Cold breeze touching my skin,
As I sit upon a marble seat,
The moon is brightly shining,
As the lake reflects the elite.

Contrary of the beautiful sight,
Inside thyself, there wasn't any light,
Fighting invisible demons, eating me alive,
Doubting if I will still survive.

Silently weeping with my eyes and heart,
Looking surely like a devastated art,
Alone, I mumble to myself, and again, I swore,
"If my heart could yell, it couldn't talk anymore."
Inspired by Beethoven's "Moonlight"

fallen belief
scarmaya nicole Dec 2024
i had hopes and dreams for us,
wishing you would answer my prayers,
to do better and love me the way no one has.
i was a fool to be a believer.

kneeling and begging, maybe then you'll feel empathy,
maybe it'll grow into a love (that is never meant to be).
but still, love is love; maybe it will be enough.
i'll carry a cross just to prove i'm tough.

love is a religion i want to forget.
i have realized it will never save our story from death.
losing my belief over someone's son,
my dear, in your church, i'm just so done.

love me pain
scarmaya nicole Jan 2024
it is the pleasure in killing myself.
the sting from my wounds are my food.
nilalamig, nanginginig, nanghihina, at humahangos,
sa siksikan na lugar, pinipilit kong umusad at makaraos.
ang sakit ng puso’y nagpaparamdam sa paos niyang sigaw ng “tigil!”
sa mga matang hindi alam ang ginagawa pero ayaw magpapigil.

naghahanap ng sagot, nangungulila sa gustong pagmulan nito,
ang mga paa’y hinahatak palayo sa direksyon mo.
paurong-sulong ang isip na tanging laman ay ikaw,
nagmamakaawang nakaluhod, pilit nang nag-aayaw.

nananakit na ang leeg kakahanap sa kanyang noo’y sandalan,
naiiyak na inaalala ang nagtapos kamakailan lang.
ngayo’y naglalakad mag-isa sa gitna ng maiingay na tao,
dahil sa manhid, wala nang pakialam kahit natutulak at nabubunggo.

bagsak ang mga balikat, ang mga tuhod ay sumusuko,
paubos man ay lumalaban ang mahinang bulong ng puso.
umaasa na sa konting sakit at hintay pa, baka ako pa rin—
na sa aking paghahanap ay makita ka at ang iyong mga matang naghahanap din sa akin.

once a writer
scarmaya nicole Apr 2022
struggling to form a single sentence
words are now hard to puzzle alone
battling to bring the thoughts to existence
doubting the skill of its own

but maybe your wings are just resting
storing energy for another flying
just hang in there and wait for your next soar
this is for the one who couldn't write anymore
But honestly, somedays, I'm having this thought that I was never or ever will be, a writer.

awit na nagtapos
tulad ng himig ng mga awit ng pag-ibig,
ang tamis at lambing ng mga ito.
kung may tinig ang pagmamahal,
maaaring ito ay boses mo.

bigla akong pinasaya,
ngunit bigla ring nagbago.
sapagkat parehong boses din
ang nagtapos sa ugnayang mayroon tayo.

ang tunog na noo’y nagbibigay-kalma,
ngayo’y iniipit ang pusong nagdurusa.
tinatakpan nang mahigpit ang mga tenga
kapag naririnig ang iyong musika.

ngunit kung ako ang papipiliin,
ayaw kong bumalik sa tahimik kong mundo.
at sa gitna ng ingay ng paligid,
sadyang boses mo pa rin ang hahanapin ko.

hirap sa pagtanggap
tungkol sa awit na nagtapos.
marinig lamang ang iyong pangalan,
ang hininga'y kinakapos.

nagsusumamo, nagmamakaawa,
magbigkas ka ng ilang salita.
hiling ng tenga at puso ko,
maari bang marinig ulit ang boses mo?

comfortable silence

words from an angry girl

Why?
scarmaya nicole Jan 2021
Lately, I've asked myself
Many questions of mankind
They are like books in a shelf
Combined in my lost mind

The unending questions of "Whys"
A battle that I'm facing
I'm looking for words that are concise
For these unexplainable feeling

Why do I have to be sad?
Why do I have to cry?
This world is making me mad
For always making me try

Try to answer these questions
But what I got were additions
All I wanted were just replies
But what I got were crying eyes

Why can't anyone help me?
Why can't I just be free?
Why do I have to experience these?
All I wanted was just peace

Why am I not in love with life anymore?
Like my young self used to before
Why am I feeling hopeless?
Can I just have some rest?

Drowning in thousand thoughts
While laying alone in a foam
And just like a lost astronaut
I'm trying to find my way back home

Suddenly, a voice came out
She was saying something about
A gentle and warm sound
Feels like a magic that I found

She knew my doubts
She heard my silent shouts
She gave me ease
By just saying these

"You always kept on asking
But there are reasons why these are happening
Universe does knows everything
Just believe in its timing

You have to be sad sometimes
You will experience many emotions in a lifetime
You won't also cry forever
But the prettiest waterfall pours unending water

And sometimes, not everyone can help you
You have to help yourself, too
And don't worry, you will be free
Just keep on going and you will see

And yes, you have to experience everything
Someday, you'll see yourself glowing and glowing
I am very proud of you
For always choosing to continue

I hope you'll fall in love with life once more
Because there are still a lot to explore
You can have rest for a while
And continue again with a smile"

Every words were like magic in the air
She said these words with so much care
And maybe.... maybe, she was right
I just have to hold on tight

Someday, I will meet her somewhere
But in that time, I am not in despair
I will make sure to face her blissfully
Because it was my future self who talked to me
Keep going : )

Heroism
scarmaya nicole Dec 2020
H e r o i s m
an unfamiliar word
to me.

They say,
it is an
act of
bravery,
having a
valor
in thyself.

Someone
who saves
a city,
have wands
in their hands,
and having a
mind that
is unique.

Fought a
monster
with 7 heads,
and made
a cure
for a
zombie outbreak.

Those who
can be called
phenomenals.

Someone
who saves
an existence
before it
disappears.

Or maybe...

...before it chooses to disappear.

Could it be
someone
whom you can run to
when you're sad?

Could it be
someone
whom you can feel safe
in their arms?

Or could it be
someone
whom you can cry
unto their shoulders
when despair
consume
your system?

Heroism
isn't just
all about
saving a city,
nor having wands
in our hands,
nor having a
mind that
is unique.

Nor fighting
a monster
with 7 heads,
nor making
a cure
for a
zombie outbreak.

It is also
about saving
someone
from losing
it's will
to live.

Anyone
can be
a hero
by just
giving
nice words,
tight hugs,
and some
warmth.

Saying
greetings to
random people,
being gentle
in every way,
and showing
your contagious
smile.

Heroism
isn't just saving
someone from death,
it is also giving
reasons to stay alive.
Be someone"s hero of their day : )

she's not just like any other queen. her kingdom is built in a place you've never heard of, but as soon as you see her, you know it is thriving under the silence of her loud strides, and the grace of her gestures, courtesy at its finest, mirrors the realm of her own world. only the deserving can step on her land; one should work hard for it.

people of the past
scarmaya nicole Jan 2024
there is always this odd feeling whenever i hang out with people from my past. not that we have cut our connection, but we just rarely see each other, and we often only do just to catch up with our lives. i cannot help but to reminisce and notice the difference between now and then. how we used to be like this and how we are doing now. it is both nostalgic and hollow. we are now not who we were. life now is not how it was.
i believe that if time machine exists, going through it would be a feeling similar like this.
