#falsehopes
A white light slipped into my dark room.
I felt its presence,
warm, inviting.
I moved closer,
but it was only a reflection
in a mirror of passing metal.
Was the light even there?
or it was just an illusion?

Sad and lonely eyes
Who busts this solid gentleman?
Who lay misery in your beautiful eyes?
You gave her a vow
Yet she gave you castle in the air—false hopes

I can't live anymore,
Breathe anymore,
think clearly anymore.
Be happy for a brief moment, that's when you try to own it.
What component in it is hopeless?
What percentage of it is worth it?
What factor damaged my purpose?
What is my purpose?
Sure I make one up, watch it grow, watch it flourish.
But how do I continue that purpose?
How do I not give up and feel worthless.
I already feel that way, but I think you've heard this.
Maybe you didn't. I did. Too many times.
It's carved into my skin.

I told myself to let go
Because i know you're happier with her
I told myself to forget you
But i can't seem to bring myself to put you in the past
I told myself to stop loving you
But despite us no longer talking,
It is you that still fills up my heart.
I told myself that I'd be happier without you,
But that was a lie.
I was happier with you around.

He went downhill;
waited with color in his eyes.
She went uphill;
acted like she was blind.

it scares me to love you,
because everything you love,
always gets old to you,
everything will someday lose its color to you.
like that day when we were outside,
strolling the park side-by-side,
admiring the glories of the cloudy day,
but it began to pour,
and you told me you loved the rain days prior.
you didn't embrace it,
you hurriedly ran the way back home,
dragging me along helplessly.
i arched a brow,
and blew the question out of my lips,
"i thought you loved the rain?"
you let out a raspy chuckle,
shrugging your shoulders as you bent down.
"it got old, the rain's full of bacteria,"
you responded like it was no big ordeal,
heaving as you ran your fingers through your pocket,
in search for your keys.
it hit me then,
falling in love with you,
would just be like loving the rain to you,
it'll get old and it'll be filled with bacteria.
and i thought you loved the rain,
but running from it isn't love,
and i thought i loved you, too,
but this isn't love, is it?

My mind is playing
A game with my heart
Knowing for a fact that
You’re gone, to distance far away
And will never coming back to stay
Even just for a moment
Yet, it’s clinging on
A thread of false hopes
You would show up someday
I wish I knew a way
To rescind these feelings
I shouldn’t be feeling right now
To the times I hadn’t met you
So that way, I would just be
Alone without all these hurts
And my hunger to love someone
If I went back ages to
My lonesome times
Before the false hopes
I could live alone forever
Than losing someone like you
In such a rainy weather

"Here we go again", I told myself..
Here I am again....hoping.
Hoping that we could talk,
Hoping that I could feel every point of your smile.
Here I am again... longing.
Longing that our eyes would meet intensely...
Longing to embrace you...
Longing to be with you..
Here I am again...

As the dawn comes I tried to write
Sealing words with promises I keep hoping
Although none of it will ever come
Still my heart can't stop assuming
He'll love me today and will leave by tomorrow
Without any trace that both of us ever met
I felt cheap and at the same time used
Yet, I keep waiting for this boy
As I watched the stars and the moon above
There's a building pain inside my chest
While my body aches for exhaustion
This boy consumed a lot from me
And before I close my eyes
All I hear is a sad song
A melody that does not belong to mine
But keeps my heart beating

A f a s h i o n i s t a –
it’s not who I am
or I was, at least.
Am not the girly-girl
fond of hearts and flowers,
nor of a stiletto and
of a dress.
On groceries, (I wore)
an old pair of tees and shorts.
On malls,
a plain shirt and maong jeans.
On every day,
a pair of flat footwear.
Just those. Period.
Just until –
A pair of Chinito eyes,
on my direction, came across.
I was enchanted. Captivated.
And I was driven insane.
**I. Want. Those. To. Keep.
Looking. At. Me.**
So I began –
A dress, I wore.
Hearts and flowers, I was
covered with.
Stilettos, ah! They hurts!
but I slipped them on,
anyway.
A dress–
That white heavy laced
ballgown, in my dreams
I began to behold.
As I walk down the aisle
gracefully and proudly, towards
that pair of Chinito eyes.
That dress (The Dress)
that I never got to wear,
in my reality.
Because those two Chinito eyes,
to another direction,
T h e y. S h i f t e d.

Was it just me?
Who fell for your misleading smile?
Was it just me?
Who gave meaning to your silly style?
Was it just me?
Who thought you are worthwhile?
I guess so.

I don't know what happened but things between us didn't work out
All the things you said before, I now started to doubt.
Things began to fall apart
All of a sudden reality just slaps you really hard.
Our love story was magical
But now it slowly turned dull.
We both agreed to take things slow
But now you said your love for me can no longer grow.
You were my lover and all,
But you left me stranded and it made me feel so small.
What happened to us?
Was there even an us?
Yes, I have shortcomings in the way I have treated you.
But was that enough reason to leave me out of the blue?
It's so easy for you to leave me without any explanation nor goodbyes
If only you could see the pain through my eyes.
You gave me so many false hopes
And now I'm trying to unstrangle all these ropes.
I was trying to convince myself that you left me for a good reason
But then again I was wrong and now I've learned my lesson.
You replaced me instantly,
I was hurt badly.
There's nothing I can do
Because somehow I already knew.
It's like I couldn't breathe and do anything
But I am so blessed that there was a King.
My Heavenly Father picked me up when I was down on my knees.
I'm so tired of taking over the wheel so I gave Him the keys.

You hide behind your soft facade
making me think you're
Moral
Gentlemanly
Assuring.
But you forgot actions speak louder than
words.
They always do.
And you
Swinging by
Leading me on to
Woo
Chase
Fail.
You're not getting to me this time round.
No dear,
Not anymore.
