they covered.
they checked.
they thought they were doomed.
so they pulled the trigger and 'boom, boom, boom.'
their names stretched across.
the series of stories shook the world.
their stories were true, they said.
happy they were when people bought their books.
happy they were to lie to get the loot.
happy they were to get communities and hearts broken.
happy they were to break the banks of hearts.
to get the money.
it isn't that hard. for them to do what they do.
fake news.
sorry if it wasnt accurate :)

You don't understand
What you've done to me

I'm only half the person
That I used to be

Oh but it's okay
Because I know what's true

For you never loved me
I only loved you

i never once cared about you,
who's always holding her tightly in your arms.

but earlier, i was thinking about it and
three hours went by painfully slow.

my tears were streaming down my face,
just thinking about you and her.

the pain in my heart,
never left.

ako ay nakatulala
sa lugar kung saan walang madla;
at ang isipan ko'y binabaha
ng mga hindi ko nasabing salita.

ako ay nasa dagat pa rin,
at ang bawat ihip ng hangin
ay simbolo ng aking dalangin
na sana siya ay mapasa akin.

ang mga puno ng niyog
ay gaya ng pagmamahal kong matayog.
mataas at hindi makasarili,
spaagka't sakanya ay nawiwili.

ang bawat butil ng buhangin
ay parang pag-ibig kong hindi kapusin;
bilyon-bilyong damdamin,
pag-ibig para sakanya na hindi ko inamin.

ang bawat alon na humahampas,
ay parang mga sandaling aking ipinalagpas;
mga bagay na matagal ko na dapat sinabi,
ngayon ako'y ginagambala ng pagsisisi.
pag-ibig para sa'yo na hindi ko kinayang aminin.

alam kong napakabata ko pa
upang ibigin ng sobra
ang taong akala ko'y kaibigan ko lang,
na kahit kailan ay 'di ako binigyan ng daing.

labis na ligaya
ang natamo ko galing sakanya.
lahat ng maliligaya kong araw,
ala-ala namin ang nakasaklaw.

subalit ito'y kailangan kong itigil,
nang pati ang sarili ko'y aking natatakwil;
lalo na't ngayon ay aking napagtanto,
na ako lang pala ang nakadama ng ganito.
masakit, pero ito ang katotohanan ㅡ mag-isa akong umiibig sayo.

Was it love? or was it an arrow?
My heart, you took, left me in sorrow
Your heart, may I borrow?
Till death, I will keep, not returned by tomorrow
My fortune is narrow
That what left my heart hollow
And my face sallow
Your secret, I revealed, left me feeling shallow
Running in agony in the furrow
Towards the nearest tree, willow
With no one fellow
Sitting on the branch lonely with my shadow
What a blue life! Thought it would be yellow!
Memories of you are my softest pillow
Such emotions, I shall not allow
Your fingerprints, your footprints, your trail I will follow
With all of my might, we become the lovers of the morrow
The pill of hope, I will swallow

--Hisham Alshaikh
Was it Love? Or Was it an Arrow?

takbo mo'y karipas
sa bawat ahon na humahampas.
pinipilit tumakas
sa mga buhanging nakakalas.

ngiti mo'y di mapawi,
tingin ko'y di mawari.
sinasabi mo'y sari-sari,
buhok ko'y lagi **** hinahawi.

buntong hininga ang tanging ipinalit.
wala ka manlang bang kamalit-malit?
kama'y mo ay sa aki'y ikinawit,
sa akin ay ngumiti ka saglit.

pilit tinutugunan,
salita mo'y ako ay naambunan.
tayo'y nagtatawagan,
diri sa isang munting dalampasigan.

ikaw lamang ay maging masaya.
o aking sintang giliw, ako'y kuntento na.
makita kang nakangiti't tawa,
sa aki'y iyo'y sapat na.

I feel like there’s something wrong;
You’ve been distant lately.
I admit I’ve been distant too,
but it’s because I don’t want to
bother you.

You always want to know if I’m: upset, angry or sad.
But you’d never tell me if you were feeling like that.
If you ever need to talk,
I’ll be here.
You know that.

I don’t want this to be a one way road,
but one going back and forth.
I need you but do you need me to?
Do you realise how much I care about you?

my heart is haunted by people that haven't died yet
this sounds like a threat but i think it's more a promise,
more a disease,
all the people i have ever loved
are people i will love forever.

there is no way to shed this, i
cannot
scrub away all the love i meant to give you,
but couldn't. and i am trying now, here,
in my own bathroom,
all the scrubbing until my hands
are red
are shaking
are not mine

and all i could ever ask for was that you hold them, so i asked

i think the problem was that you couldn't hear me over the sound of water
you couldn't hear me through the closed shower door
you couldn't hear me down the hall and into the living room

i think the problem was that you didn't want to hear me at all

Cupid seems to like me,
to like making fun of me.
He enjoys to throw around his arrows
with not much careful thought or good judgement
but simply for his own amusement.

Cupid seems to like me,
to like playing with me.
He enjoys to chase me around in time and space
with his arrows always carved too deep in my heart
most of times.

Cupid seems to like me,
to like torturing me.
Since his arrows always seem to miss the other living soul
while if i dare to pull out mine
it will make me bleed to death
from loving
too much.
im heartbroken and lonely
