i'll forget the memories i made with you
love will fade little by little
but
i haven't told you yet the name of the flower
when you asked me to identify from the bouquet
you brought on our very first date

i know that if there's life there's death
its up to us how we live in between
i spend my days having coffee with you
and yours to watch movies with me
flowers grow from the seeds then it withers in time

don't forget me i said
i hurt myself and cried more
i wish I was the one who'd say to 'forget me
Because honestly I can't say 'don't let me go
Forget-me-not
but
i will keep on living positively from now on

you don't have to say 'thank you to me
because i feel the same with you
but
i wish you didn't told me to 'forget you
please 'don't let me go
Forget-me-not

i'll forget the memories i made with you
love will fade little by little
i'll keep on living positively
Forget-me-not

Forget-me-nots symbolize true love and respect. When you give someone these tiny blooms, it represents a promise that you will always remember them and will keep them in your thoughts. (source: Google)

ambrosia

some perfumes are fragrant as a child
others corrupted, rich, exultant wild
with all expansion of things infinite
which sings the senses and souls delight

Its been a while.

come to think of it
your words have always been
my source of strength
as I was about to reach my goal

Pagod

nawalan na ako ng lakas
para ipaglaban
ang natitirang bukas

Dapit Hapon

oras ko na inilaan
kay daling nalimutan
panahon na isinugal
sa pagmamahal na
wala palang katiyakan
ngayo'y nanagnaghoy na
sana'y wag **** iwan

oras ko na inilaan
mga bagay na
kay dali kong binitawan
na walang pag alinlangan
para mapasaya ka lang
huli na nang malaman
pinaglaruan mo lang

para sana sayo to
pero ang dali **** tumalikod
naglakbay ka sa kabilang daan
at bigla na lang naglaho
na parang bula
hindi man lang nagbabala
sana nagpasabi ka
nang ako mismo naghatid sayo

hindi na sana ako
nagbigay ng labis
ngayon ako'y naghihinagpis
sa pag ibig na ipinilit
kong ihandog
sa taong hindi naman
ako ang kailangan

sana nagpasabi ka
nang mabawasan man lang
ang pagtitiis
sa panahon na halos
buong buhay ko
akalain **** kay dali kong
ibigay para sayo
kung sana man lang
umalis ka ng mas maaga
nang hindi pa gaano kalalim
ang nadarama
nang maagapan ko pa
ang sugat na ngayo'y
hanggang buto
tagos sa kaluluwa
ang pagdurusa

sana matapos na ang
araw gusto ko na
magpahinga

Subject

you are his poetry
so he writes about your beauty
in between the lines
of his flawed rhymes
you'll find a
vulnerable guy

love can be a torture
in a beautiful disguise

Too much love

I remembered the day you asked me what it's like to fall in love
and now that I think of it
it is the tears that I try to hold back
when I won't admit I'm broken
it's like a whirlwind that picks me up from where you were and throw me somewhere I've never been
and it was like a match sticks when lit can burn a forest to ashes with a slightest touch

"I can't promise you that love is beautiful, but I can promise you it was worth it." I answered
at the back of my head I know
much like of life
love can **** you

Sinking Deep

I can't keep pretending that I know how to swim
it's clear that I'm drowning

frostbite

i'm shivering
as i wait for you
the cold is unkind
to the strangers like me
i look at my watch
to remind myself of the time
you were late
but i can wait
the freezing breeze was
unforgiving
it bore right through me
as i wait for you
passersby would look at me
sometimes they'd greet me
or ask me why i'm standing
outside here in the cold
i just replied with a smile
or sometimes i would say
" i'm waiting for someone "
knowing that you'll come soon right?
of course you will
i'm shivering
but much more erratic
still waited for you
i looked at my watch again
it says 9:00 pm
when you said you would come at noon
the night grew darker
as the other little shops
starting to close
i'm still standing here
outside in the cold
it's cold
the weather
the let down
it all feels the same
i'm shivering
but you never came
