Infatuation
Aliza Manalac Sep 2018
My heart races,
My mind wanders off to you being mine,
Can we pick up the pace?
Here I go again on cloud nine.
Your existence blinds me from reality,
I am in love with the idea of you.
Help me end this mental calamity,
You are too good to be true.
If only you knew how much I crave your affection,
We could have a potential connection.

Can't deny what's real
Aliza Manalac Aug 2018
You say you don’t love me,
but your eyes and body language tells it all.

Catching Feelings
Aliza Manalac Aug 2018
With these hands,
I intertwine yours with mine,
our hands fit perfectly like we're made just for each other,
my vocal chords that lets us stay in contact,
I speak nothing but the truth,
the capacity my brain can absorb,
I won't forget the little details about you,
this one beating heart,
it pumps and butterflies take over as long as we’re together.

True love
Aliza Manalac Feb 2018
To know that you're in love with someone is to realize that you've showed them a part of you that no one else can see but them.

Choose strength over fear
Aliza Manalac Feb 2018
The sun and moon may fall down, but they always get right back up.

Tears
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
I'm afraid I ran out of energy to produce more.
They aren't these so called painkillers,
they're more of a sign of wanting emotional aid from your loved one.

Unwritten Chapters
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
Pen in our hands,
Mind of devotion,
Heart of gold,
The stories are at constant peak,
This relationship is cemented.
Will we continue to write
or let our insecurities write for us?
It's about a couple who are afraid to continue living in the face of reality slowly tearing them apart.

Solitude
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
Alone with myself,
being accustomed to my inner demons,
I am filled with rapture to have more freedom,
but my heart aches for another soul,
for I cannot tolerate with myself.

I wish
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
I wish I was talented,
to sing your heart out,
to dance like a graceful ballerina,
to paint beautiful landscapes,
to play all kinds of instruments,
to cook as if you're the next famous chef,
to be quick and and strong like a sportsperson,
but I guess my talent is to write experiences that people can relate to,
to connect and feel empathy for one another.

Perfection is a Disease
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
Once you learn the epitome of being a model,
you will either compare your perfections or flaws,
despite what you wish you had,
a skinny and petite body,
a healthy and fit body,
being taller,
being shorter,
having a thigh gap,
having no thigh gap,
one should not be immune to practice self-love,
because loving yourself is the best you can do to your body.

Love/Hate Relationship
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
It has been far too long,
our relationship has gone wrong,
who in the right mind,
would waste each other’s time,
the ocean splashes,
the volcano erupts,
the boat crashes,
enough of the disrupt,
the days have been rough,
but all I can do is be tough,
I love you too much,
I miss your touch,
can we rewind to the past,
and complement our contrasts,
let us breathe once more,
and reach within one’s core,
mend a heart,
before you go breaking another girl’s heart.

Remember me?
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
The rose who ascended from above,
the one who flirted with her eyes,
stayed beside you through thick and thin,
had her "first" everything with,
sacrificed her health for your happiness,
said that we would fix what was broken,
saw your hidden talents,
was in pain because I was getting taken granted for,
struggled with having to face the real you,
said I would never leave you,
because I do.
I remember everything.

The Aftermath of a Breakup
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
Waking up knowing that the bed is empty,
Serving one meal,
Showering with only the thoughts in my head,
Going to work without a goodbye kiss,
Coming home to see nothing has changed,
Cooking the same food,
Going to sleep and hugging my favorite pillow.
Rinse and repeat.

Lost in Dream Land
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
The power to manipulate your surroundings,
Talking animals and non-human entities,
To see your deceased loved ones,
Trapped in complete darkness,
New faces appearing at sight,
A dream within a dream,
Omens of the future,
To live or to die.

Money
Aliza Manalac Aug 2017
Does not buy happiness,
It gives you a moment of euphoria,
But it does not fill the empty void in your heart.
It is the key to salvation,
Without wealth, you are nothing.

What is Life?
Aliza Manalac Jul 2017
Life to me is a game. The day your parents give birth to you, your attributes, looks, social status are given. As you get older, you realize that each and everything matters to you. Money, education, relationships, your emotional well-being. So you try your best to gain recognition and appreciation. Basically like those game achievements. Each choice leads to a certain consequence. It’s up to you to decide on creating a better character or remain the same. In the end, the game (our existence) will come to it’s final chapter. It will be passed on to many generations. Hopefully the existing files (your kids, if you plan on making them) will keep you not only in their minds, but in their hard drives (hearts). If there is an afterlife, I hope we will rest in peace and see each other there.

Candy
Aliza Manalac Jul 2017
The only source that is close to the taste of your lips
It wasn't bitter nor sour
No confectionary could compare to how sweet you were
Physically and mentally
Your flavor is an aspect I could never forget

Hope
Aliza Manalac Jul 2017
A word used when you want a miracle to happen
But they only happen in fairytales
Until I met you
And that’s when I stopped dreaming and came back to life
I guess dreams do come true after all

Our Journey
Aliza Manalac Jun 2017
Life is full of wonders,
Mystical whereabouts faraway waiting to be conquered,
Animals to visit and take pictures with,
Foods that only the known would reveal the unknown,
Humans to befriend with similar passions,
Memories keep rolling inside people’s heads,
Promises are kept and sealed by contracts or cut with the inevitable scissors,
Each heartbeat saves you a second to appreciate your life,
Life doesn’t last, but your existence does.

Letter to My Friend
Aliza Manalac Jun 2017
Hello to you,

Thoughtful, caring, and old soul
When the tides were too strong, you carried me in your boat,
your wisdom were like love quotes,
as the sun and moon rises each day,
Heaven will grant you peace and happiness I pray,
people hit and run,
but to us, all we know is fun,
thoughtful, caring, and old soul,
I hope you reach your goal,
to be who you are,
to make your dreams come true,
even if you’re afar,
I will always be here for you,

You will dearly be missed from me,
      r.a.m.

Self-Doubt or Self-Love?
Aliza Manalac Jun 2017
I know I can never achieve the fame and recognition on being talented, smart, or beautiful, but I can show you the sky when it’s calm, the sunset when it falls low, the moon when it’s full, and the stars that shine across the universe.

The Rejects
Aliza Manalac May 2017
Here’s to the kids who don’t follow the rules, whose hearts have been shattered many times, where expectations are at their highest, with fake love and people, and desires that are impossible to achieve. The misfits who would stay out of the crowd. Being a wallflower has it’s advantages, too. Sad individuals who feels lost and hopeless figuring out their purpose in life. To continue breathing to or to stop. That is the question stuck in their heads. Feelings have been concealed, relationships have faded, and now what’s left is wishing to be needed.
Aliza Manalac Jan 2016
they’re not just called significant others. those are the souls that somehow connected to yours. they are the fighters to defeat any obstacle in their way to get to the one they cherish the most. they’ll do whatever it takes just to be with them again. the dreamers who fantasize about your future together. whether it’s traveling together, making a family, building a business. the lovers who knows everything about you. the good and bad side. they accept all that you are. they are the thankful ones. appreciates their lover’s parents on creating such a beautiful human

You call it pity
I call it caring
Your cuts are eternal
My love for you is the same
Try not to go insane
By giving yourself more pain

You Have Me
Aliza Manalac Dec 2015
darling, don’t be afraid
say my name and I’ll be there
when the nights are young, I’ll sing you to sleep
you’re not alone anymore
you have me
you don’t have to cry
remember me and you’ll be tear free
life isn’t a mistake
when things get rough, just take a break
don’t let your demons take over you
after all, fighting them starts with you
I will be with you as long as you stay with me
you are your own key to happiness
let everyone see your smile
not the faucet that comes from your eyes
I hope it doesn’t last for a while
and that we won’t tell any lies

You and I
Aliza Manalac Jul 2015
I'm darkness
You're light
We may have our differences
But that doesn't mean we can't get along
You're optimistic
I'm pretty much a realist
You see the good in everything
I see both the practical and bad side
You're fire
I'm water
Together, we create steam
Steamy and hot
