waves
mica Apr 2022
let’s drift apart as quickly as we got along
like the waves across the shore
it is but a fleeting moment
leaving nothing but a dampened sand
to remind that we have met once in a lifetime
met a friend just to become strangers…

Sana
mica Jan 2018
sana pinigilan ko ang sarili ko
nang tuluyang mahulog sa'yo
upang hindi na maulit
ang ginawa kong pagpilit
sa aking sarili
sana pinigilan ko

ngunit, sana hindi nalang kita tinigilan
pero kailangan kitang iwanan
kasi hindi lamang ako yung nasasaktan
pati ang damdamin kong pilit kong pakawalan
sana hindi kita tinigilan

sana nakikita ko ay iyong reaksyon
sa likod ng mga hadlang
tuwing tayo'y nagkakaroon ng interaksyon
kahit sa chat lamang
sana nakikita kita

pero bakit kung kailan ilang buwan nalang tayo magsasama
saka muling kumislap ang aking mga mata
tuwing ika'y nakikita
hindi ito tama
sapagkat nangako ako sa sarili ko
na titigilan na kita noon
pero noon iyon
anong nangyari saakin ngayon
bakit biglang ninakaw mo ang aking atensyon
mula sa kanya, patungo sa'yo
sana matagal ko na itong ginawa

hindi kung kailan malapit ka nang mawala sa aking paningin,
hindi kung kailan malapit ka nang maglaho sa aking paligid,
hindi kung kailan bumalik na ulit ang nararamdaman ko para sa iyo...
hindi.

sana nagawa ko nang umamin sa'yo noon
ngunit hindi ko kaya
hindi ko kayang masaktan dahil lamang sa munting damdamin ko na maaaring makasira sa kung anong meron tayo.
oo, magkaibigan tayo.
alam ko yun.
dahil hanggang doon lang tayo.

sana, nakita mo kung gaano ka kahalaga sa paningin ko.
sana...
pero hindi.

am thoughts

this creative mind would never make him like you. no matter how colorful you color your words, or how you decorate it with pretty flowers, he wouldn't like you.

he asked you about the rain, you answered and thought of it as a release. a burst of emotion, just like letting go. but it seems that he had brought an umbrella and avoided your indirect release of feelings, or maybe he took shelter upon a waiting shed. as he stands alone, waiting for the one his heart yearns for, you continue to shower him with your deepest feelings through the form of raindrops that make sound above the roof, desperately wanting for his attention.
a penny for a thought.

Kailangan pa ba?
mica Feb 2018
Halika't samahan mo ko
Sa pagbalik sa nakaraan
Kung saan ikaw pa ay aking gusto
At ako ay iyong kaibigan

Nang makita kita
Ako'y namangha
Sa iyong talentong ipinakita
Sa buong eskwela

Di ko aakalain
Na ika'y gugustuhin
At ang panahon ay palipasin
Nangangarap na ika'y mapasaakin

Ngunit heto na tayo
Sa kahuli-hulihang pahina
Ng ating kwento
At ng ating pagkikita

Oo, hindi na kita gusto
Sapagkat ang paglipas ng oras
ay masyado kong sineryoso
at ang pahina ng aking mga damdamin at dahan-dahan kong pinilas

Ngunit, bakit?
Bakit kung kailan ilang buwan nalang?
Bakit kung kailan nasa huli nang hakbang?
Bakit kung kailan ika'y maglalaho na?
Bakit kung kailan huli na?
Bakit?

Kailangan pa ba na ako ang umamin ng hindi kayang aminin?
Kailangan pa ba na ako ang lumapit upang masabi ang gustong sabihin?
Kailangan pa ba na ako ang magsimula ng gusto **** simulan?
Kailangan pa ba na ako ang gumawa ng paraan para sa'yo?
Sa tingin ko, hindi ko na kailangan

Pasensya na
Sapagkat huli na ang lahat
Ako'y nakadaan na sa iyong pinagdadaanan ngayon
Ngunit hindi tayo nagtagpo

Pasensya na,
Dahil huli na ang lahat.

Hindi na kita kailangan.

it's sad to think you've fallen for his pretty face, and the way he walks, the way he talks, the way he keeps you up for days... it's sad to know he doesn't really care, and all of this was just a show because he's run by softwares. it's hard to wake up and face the reality that he never once existed and was only brought to life by mere imaginations and thanks to you, you've been keeping him alive.

it's sad to hear him say, "thanks for playing!" when he's your only escape amidst your tiresome journey through life.
got so much immersed in a game and sometimes forget they never really existed despite casually talking about them with my friends every single day.

Listen To The Roses
mica Apr 2019
Listen to the roses, my dear
Don't let the sun shine on me
For my harmless shadows would appear
And tower over the crimson you see

As the light slumber softly
The dusk embrace the earth
I'll be up above shortly
To the stars from the dirt

Find me above the stars, my dear
As you look past the dark sky
Listen to the voice you hear
And follow me with your loving eyes

Don't wait for the silence
To replace the words I want to say
And the sight of me on the horizon
Disappear at the presence of the day

My heart yearns for adventure;
To explore the once unknown
And find a life indentured
To a love that lives on show
*we made this into a musical composition*

Everything has changed
mica Feb 2018
This was it.

The moment I've been waiting for ever since I've laid my eyes on you.

I wanted you to feel the same way as how I feel for you.

It was my daily wish as 11:11 comes by.

But my patience wore thin.

I stopped.

I stopped expecting that you'd feel the same way.

I stopped hoping you'd say the words I can't say.

I stopped believing that 11:11 could work out a way.

And so, here I am.

As if my whole body was electric shocked.

Never did I expect that you'd feel it too.

But you did.

You fulfilled my daily wish.

You made all my hopes come true.

But you did that when It was all over.

When it was all gone.

I was better off without you but then you came along and started to destroy the pages I've painted my artwork on.

You ruined my masterpiece.

You ruined every piece of me.

So this I tell you, be careful of what you wish for because...

Everything can change.

No, Everything has changed.
I just wanted to let all of my feelings and emotions out. Please bare with this. I've been feeling really frustrated ever since an incident. I feel sad ):

Castaway
mica Jan 2018
You acted as if you were dumb
Just so you could be numb
Of all the hate that’s been thrown
Don’t you worry, soon you’ll be home

A long journey awaits you
The afterlife starts to knock
As if your life were already due
And towards it, you blindly walk

You start to collect anything sharp
As it made contact with the surface
Then you caress the wounded part
And thought “it’s the end of the race”

You hopelessly look around
With no hint of content
You sigh and look to the ground
Feeling like an awful accident

Even if you think
That you don’t deserve to see another sunrise
And even if you feel like you’re on a brink
Please don’t fill your head with lies

Don’t ever say that you’re not enough
Just because you feel alone
Deep inside, I know you’re tough
And you could survive this on your own

Yes, the world may bring you down
And turn your smile into a frown
but never let it get your way
And eat you up like a prey

I’ll willingly help you to put out the ember
And detach from the past
So you’ll never remember
What it’s like being an outcast

Me & You
mica Jan 2018
I'm broken inside
As I picture you with her
I smile on the outside
Knowing everything's a blur
In every motion I make
I feel every risk I take
All of this just for you
Even if I know you'll never like me too

These pieces I try to mend
With every story that I end
Without sorting the feelings I left
And with love, I lost the bet
I've fallen too deep
To pick myself up
From you heart's pit
And towards the top

Why did I ever hurt myself
Because of the pictures that you held
Within those are hidden stories
Stories you'd never dare to tell
It kills me to see
How happy you were
When you're with her
Than with me

But I guess that's how it goes
Not everything is meant for us to possess
Although you look so good from your head to your toes
While I am drowing in distress
I gave you all my best
Though you never see it coming
Because you never seek the rest
Of my feelings that I keep humming

memory lane
mica Dec 2019
the moon is awake
as i close my eyes for the slumber
feeling indifferent to the ache
as the year slips off from december

every minute cannot be reversed
as the memories linger
should’ve left the wound be nursed
and be wrapped with a care so tender

regret unwavering
as my mouth is full words
from then i knew i failed expressing,
my deepest feelings were watchwords

why am i even writing about you?
it’s been 2 years since you’ve gone
isn’t it that it’s still true
that i’ll choose you only when i can’t carry on?

the sad truth is that i never carried on even when you’re gone.

Why did we not try?
mica Dec 2019
As I lie on my bed, my eyes dart to the ceiling. The ambiance was a mixture of the cold breeze from the air conditioner and the warmth of the darkness; having only a faint green light from the router as it kept on blinking. I roam my eyes and observe the shadow of the guitar as it hangs on the wall. My senses felt in rhythm as the ticking of the clock echoed. In my mind was only one question, why did we not try? Are we that cold enough not to feel any sign of love expressing? Are we too blind to journey in the dark with a dying flashlight? Are we scared of those harmless shadows that watch us? Or are we scared to be a little late as we feel the time being wasted? Please tell me why, why did we not try?

quarantine thoughts

missing those late nights,
driving around the city.

missing being in the middle of a traffic jam while raining, the way those raindrops create subtle noise above the car's roof which brings comfort along with the radio.

missing the feeling of sleeping inside the car, but disappointment wakes you up when you feel a familiar turn, knowing you're already home.

missing everything that is associated with adventure, because being in a stagnant shelter will never be the same.

As I reminisce the past,
I look at the memories we've created.
Happiness was a trend to me
But now it was buried deep down beneathe me.
How the golden days I treasure with you on my mind.
Now we are part of the unfinished memory.
Our paths cross but never meet.
Such melancholy is what my self is feeling,
Everytime I see the past undone.
Getting in touch with you was my only desire,
Though it was back then when you're the burning fire inside my heart.
Tears have flooded and put away the warmth of this feeling.
It was you who caused,
Such a stone is what I see in you.
Back then, cold was just the weather.
Until you gave meaning to what it was like.
It's such a shame that you've been crying out loud that no one wants to be with you,
So now I know you have never thought of me.
The desperation within kept eating you alive.
It was for your own good.
No, I don't mind.
For now this is my last goodbye
To the feelings I have left behind.
See you soon to the other side.
Hopefully we meet at the right time.

Pages of Us
mica Jan 2018
We were pages of an unfinished book.
Waiting for the end as the time flew by.
But suddenly, we're not like what we used to be.
These tears flow to an endless river of heartaches.
Life experiences its most dull moment as soon as you get to know who am I.
Taking advantage and using my weakness to break me into pieces.
It was that bad.
The effect you left was nothing compared to contagious heartbreaks.
You left me hanging and craving for the warmth of your soul.
I felt empty.
Yet words couldn't satisfy.
These feelings, I couldn't derive them into something simple.
Because it never was simple.
It was so obscure that not even I could understand.
What more if you knew?
You were the source of my happiness but it left me the moment you were gone.
You stole my heart without your knowledge.
Such a crime deserves a fair punishment.
All I wanted was for you to feel my pain just so we could be equal.
But we were forbidden to touch a shard.
We were forbidden to fix each other.
Or was I the only one who forbids you.
I didn't want to seem like I need help from you because you were the one who started this chaos.
It wasn't a beautiful chaos.
Rather, a traumatizing nightmare.
Somebody, please wake me up.
The last thing that I would want to happen is for this book to come to a halt so my suffering could do the same.

in our heads
mica Jun 2020
it all started with a little touch.
i fiddled with your fingers until it ended up intertwined.

i looked at you and you looked back,
just an inch of space between us.
you whispered to my ear and i listened.
suddenly, your lips were on mine.

the sudden action reminded me that i had no skill when it comes to responsiveness.
i felt embarrassed but brave to admit because of these feelings.

i told you i didn’t know how to respond back and you said you’d teach me tomorrow.

how i long for tomorrow to come,
but dreams don’t have tomorrow,
it’s all in our heads.

the dream
mica Jan 2020
he kept chasing her, just not literally.
he even went on a date with her.
i happen to unintentionally followed them without knowing they were having their date there.

with all that’s happening, i knew he still liked her and i kept my feelings still.
whenever he’s near, close or beside me, i have this feeling that he treats me to be like her.
on the other hand, i just go with the flow because i know i’ll never be her.

the way we interact physically and ever so lightly, there was a hint of longingness in his touch while i tried to compose myself. he was longing for her, not me.

even the simple fragrance of her hands, he made me use some products to have it smell like hers.
then he touches my hand with the vision of seeing me as her.

it’s very sad knowing that our deepest feelings for someone that we ignore each day, grows stronger as our dreams interpret it into scenarios.
only through this, we get to grip on to the reality that the person whom we adore so much may never feel the same.
i still can’t believe i dreamed this.
