see, I loved you with everything I had
and I know you loved me the best you could without loving yourself
you were fighting demons of your own design
doing everything you could to calm the eternal flames rising from your core

I spent years begging them to possess me instead
years fighting for you to love me in a way you couldn't

in the end, I got what I had been begging for

now, I am trying to dampen the flames rising from my core
fighting demons of my own design

How?
How to mend this sorry heart
How does this ache so much

A passionate part,
But a feeble one
Like the redness of one's lips

Women, liquor, company
Felt grey and short-lived
I tried to mend this sorry heart

Read novels, and created art
To no avail, this broken part
I can't repair this broken  heart

I poured everything
Red wine in a golden chalice
I poured,
And I poured, and I poured

No wine was left,
Sold the gold for a copper one
Bought another wine,
To make me forget you

With sorrowful memories,
Streaming down from the copper chalice
Half asleep
Half awake

I can't forget
I cannot find you
I slithered to your old doorstep
Knocking for my old self

I have a small confession. Forgive this pouring of my heart. This bluebird is caged and wants to be freed.

I cherish halls, where we first met. The moment I clapped eyes on you, I knew you were going to be a sorrowful love. Recently, I have began to regard you as much more than just a sorrowful love.

My feelings for you intensified as I talk to you. When we laid and shared our stories underneath the moonlight, I knew it.

You have eyes like graceful peaches and the most true lips I've ever seen. Your hair, black as tar- and your smile as precious as pink sapphires- always makes my day, my weeks.

You're so special with your laugh. The way you handle your self shows great patience and curiosity.

I know that to you I'm just a blue wanderer but I think we could be happy together, crying like two happy birds.

The soil in the garden,
Pink-colored plastic flamingos
Rusty, and damp backyard
We've planted orchids, remember?
Everything is a palace

Every palace endures solitude
But I am no palace
An apparition,
The maiden I see at night
The roofs are crying

Your memories are still here,
And your clothes, always dusted off your favorite
Your lavander dress, paired with your yellows
Dancing in the meadow
I never liked dancing alone

Asul na kalangitan
Luntiang parang
Gabing madilim

Kalungkutan,
Kasiyahan

Lahat ng ito'y napapansin kong may pagmamahal,
Nang ika'y dumating.

Sa bawat pagdampi ng tubig sa aking labi
Sa bawat puyat
Pag-aalimpuyo ng damdamin,
Sa bawat kilig at galak,
Ikaw ang obrang iginuguhit nito

Idk
I don't know everything about her
but i would love to

she doesn't eat a lot, but she likes sweets

Blueberries and brownies,

watching movies

She likes beautiful photographs
But I think she's the most beautiful when she
Takes a picture of herself
She cries, but she makes people laugh
She's every bit of perfect
And every bit of crazy,
I hate it when she's sad
But I know she'll probably shake it off
She's every bit of the things i hope i would like,
And i've learned to like it as i talk to her

Can i waste all your time?
Like walking to empty sidewalks
Or doing the things you hate doing alone
Or even if you have nothing to say
If you think you're not pretty at the end of the day,

I'll still think you're the prettiest
because you are you,
You beautifully untamed you,
Your colors are too bright for me,
But i've always loved the sun when it's true
