if it was easier to let go
everyone would be dead.

There's a Ripple in the Sky
Because you never even tried
To impress those who belittled you.

The rocks will wear away
Trees will burn to ash
Lakes will evaporate

Nothing stays

Buildings will deteriorate
Clouds will pass by
The tide will go out

Nothing stays

Fires will burn down
Leaves will fall
Snow will melt

Nothing stays

People move on
Joy will leave
You have left

Nothing stays

**Everything leaves

Nadudurog na ba ang dila mo?
Ikaw ba'y naghihingalo na?
Nagsasawa ka na ba?
Sabihin mo nga,
nadudurog na ba ang dila mo
sa tuwing binibigkas mo sakin
ang mga salitang
"Mahal kita"
Ngunit siya ang nais ****
makaharap?
Dahil ramdam ko ang pait
sa iyong dila sa bawat letra.
Alam kong ayaw **** ipakita
na nahihirapan ka na.
Pero mahal, sabihin mo kung suko ka na.
Dahil nauubusan na ko ng rason
para manatili pa.
Kung sabihin ko ba sa iyo
na ramdam kong nalalapnos
ang iyong balat
sa tuwing niyayakap kita.
Hindi mo ba halata?
Wala ng init na dumadaloy
sa ating dalawa.
Parang kapeng naiwan,
onti onting nanlalamig na
ngunit hindi ko malimutan
ang pasong iniwan mo saking mga labi.
Kung ako na kaya ang bumitaw?
Mahihirapan ka pa ba?
Madudurog ka pa ba?
O di kaya ikaw na ang magsabing
"Ayoko na"
Sabihin mo nga,

Magdurugo ba ang iyong dila?

Giving up?
Its not actually included in my vocabulary.
Until you suddenly push me on a cliff.
I hang on.
Waiting for you to pull me up.
But you just look at me from above.
You were crying.
Whispering something I can't hear.
Yet as I look into you lips.
I read the words you want to say.
"Let me go. Move on."
That's when "giving up" became a part of my life and those words and you would always be synonyms in my life.

A moment of peace
in between the battles.
Of my heart and mind.

Is as common as a
four leaf clover.
A rare occasion.
A holiday for my heart.

To forget the war it's losing.

Pieces everywhere
Take what you want
Take her smile and her laugh
Take her happiness
Hell take her sadness
Take it she is practically giving it away
So why not take it
Pieces and pieces
He has a piece
And he has a piece
So why not you take a piece
Take her kisses her hugs and her love
Her shyness her innocents
Take it piece by miserable piece
Why not take it?
She is giving it right?

I'm not perfect
Not even close
But I swear,
I'm trying

I study
For hours
Then deny it
The next day
For only
The nerds
Study

I plan
My outfit
Each night
But it's carefully planned
To not look carefully planned,
So no one knows
It took effort

I know I'm not perfect
Not even close
But I swear,
I'm trying

I give it my all
But all I get
For my efforts
Is a growing stack
Of mistakes
And errors

I'm beginning to think
It's not worth it

Maybe I should just
Shut up
And give up

Never bother anyone
With my words again

I know I'm not perfect
Not even close
But I swear,
I'm trying

However,
I am close
To giving up

They say crying releases toxins
From your brain.
That's what makes you feel better.
Well, as a walking poison,
I must need to keep those toxins.
Maybe if I hold them in,
My poison won't spread.

Or maybe,
My poison is a bomb.
Collecting those toxins,
Until
     It
         Explodes

And kills those closest to me.

So maybe the only way to save them,
Is to leave them.
But what if that kills me?
And then I explode.
My poison killing them then?

I guess my poison is uncontrollable,
Uncontainable.
But I suppose I'll keep trying anyway.
