They say if you love something set it free
If it returns, it’s yours.
If it doesn’t
then it never was meant to be.  

But, often times
I wonder What’s worse?
If our time together
Was a blessing or a curse?

Trying to hold on to something
With hope and faith alone.
Or having confirmation that in
your arms, I never belonged.

How could you possibly decide
the lesser evil of those two?
When every road or path I take
Seems to lead back to you?

Should I close my eyes
And flip a coin?
Or go on living life without ever knowing
If the loss of our love I’d mourn?

Well... all the cards in
my hand I’ve played.
For the chance to see
If you’d fly away or by my side you’d stay

It’s a hard fact of life I have learned
Just because you love someone
It doesn’t mean your love
they deserved

Today I set you free my love
To move on and Soar free
To find your hearts desire
Since it simply wasn’t me

One day I imagine you’ll
Reflect upon our love
I hope you’ll wonder
If by chance it had been sent from above
This is for the man I loved but could never truly have.

I envied her
For having
All that I thought I wanted

Now
Every night
I pray for her
Hoping she finds the strength
To escape the sharp and rusted hooks
Of your abuse.

I had always felt like a blue whale.
Struggling to stretch from your net.
Beached in the shallows of your ego.

But I was built with the lungs
The heart
And the strength
To dive
Deeper
Than you’d ever let me.

- Letting you go was the beginning of me.

Sawa na ako sa paulit-ulit
na pagturo kan luhà
hali sa panganoron.
Núarín taka mahihiling
sakuyang saldáng?
Núarín an tamang panahon
para ako naman an maogmá?

Kun pwede lang na kumuson
an gabos na panmátî ko,
irolyo sa papel
hali sa lumang notebook ko,
laagan nin dawon,
sulôon asin halaton
an gabos na kuanon
kan duros pasíring sa mayo.
Mayo man akong gusto
kundi maging maogmá.

metal burns skin as blood boils inside
air from lungs glazing the eyes
a dangerous perilous point of view
from a mountaintop into a valley of lies

clock in the darkness reading what cannot be read
a taste of the tongue from what cannot be said
to shiver and shake on a cold hill
on the coldest day of all
better than ever should you fall
anger depression rage hopelessness bipolar frustration hope

through a thunder laden desert I walk without rain
as hands of a clock I circle
without gain
a cheetah on a greyhound day
through a dust drenched mirage
  a thirst kept dry
a vulture in the early night sky

It was a lonesome and cold love
A heartless love
A painful love
A love that wasn’t love
A forbidden lust disguised as “love”
And like love it was strong and powerful
It moved my emotions
It moved my thoughts
It altered my views
It changed my ways
And it made me miserable
It made me long for something unreachable
Unattainable but felt like it was already at my fingertips; although never closer. Never further.
The fear of moving away from it
Kept me holding on
Trying
Losing
A battle never to win always to lose
Like a soldier I fought and I continued
Just to learn
That I was not supposed to be a soldier
It was not my battle
I bled for nothing
I fought for nothing
Lies laid there like dust never to be cleaned
Slowly did I learn
I had to let go
Let go and move on
But how do I?
Teach me to be as heartless
Teach me how not to crumble
Teach me something I already know at heart but refuse to accept
Stop coming back
Stop leading me
Leave your dust and do not come back to whirl it around the room again
Just let me let go
Please

Once more to far
over the seas
wreckage lays waste
from sunken ships ashore
my guarded heart
treads those waters lightly

Virtual love through screens
what could it be?
expectations left dry
jealously yet again
made broken bonds

Promises left dry
and you went
into another love
goodbye for now

Here I am once more
in a shadow of love
