how is it that
the relationship we had
for four years,
and once ours -
could be deciphered
by my therapist,
a stranger
who understood me
in just an hour.

i write,
and i write more
of my feelings out.
so why am i
not able to
verbally say
it loud?

i am twenty-nine,
soon turning thirty,
my humour is still dry,
most times witty.
yet one thing
i chose not to see
was losing myself—
the kind of feeling
where I don’t feel pretty.
all because i was stuck
in the nitty-gritty
of what i'd like to call
our relationship,
now out of the treaty.

I hate the feeling of hate,
this word *****
i forced myself and ate
i no longer can enjoy
our love that was
on the plate
can't you tell
that wasn't fate
it was all the efforts
that made us great
by the time i
suffocate,
honestly it was
a little too late
my therapist
begged for me
to not self berate,
yet I can't look past
that this hurt
was what I had
instigate

what is kindness
if not a justification
for all the hurts
of the past?

You called it love, then cut me open. Said it didn't hurt just a plastic knife.
But I loved you, so I didn't flinch. And that's why I still bleed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I write like an alcoholic
drinking the last drop of ink
from my pen
I asked a stranger
to lend me
some cash
for a pen
a stack of paper
to start writing again
I walk like Im drunk on words
drinking two thirds
of my shot for one second
do you reckon?
I'll be able to pay for this?
or will it cost me my life instead?
I can't stop drinking
honestly, I can't stop thinking
these words
I consider my thoughts
when I'm sober
filling up the blanks
of a memory
I try to subdue
I'll give thanks to the
bartender
whose drinks makes me
want more
hopefully I can render
some explanation
for my jumbled up words
written on a napkin
it so happens that
I found something to rhyme
to finish this line
I write like an alcoholic
maybe tomorrow's painful hangover
may be the reason not to write again

there's this pattern
that I keep on going circles at
for everything I gained
I lost something in return
but I guess
I just never understand
which losses were worth losing
and which gains were worth acquiring

don't date broken girls
my mom said
i retorted
"but they deserve to be loved too"
and so i loved a broken girl more than
anything
i didn't realize she will break me too

tell me
what went wrong
was it because
i wasn't that strong
or it was that
i forgot to write you love songs
or maybe
i waited for you far too long
in between your words
you pronounced "him" differently
i wondered if there was a difference
between him and me
that so much
your eyes turn to him
and never me

old wounds rip open
those empty words from your mouth
the tear in my flesh
pulling me apart
inside out
cuts on the edges of my fingers
coloring the pages
words and sketches
of the notebook that I owned
bruises on the cover
its hue like a gentle blue
all this things inside
reminds me of you
what a great affliction
a euphoria for the twisted
cure this brain
with the sound
of your name

time is just a fragment we created
it never existed before until
we draw it into our lives
never affected how we saw each other
until we spoke
its very existence started
you spun time in between your fingertips
you stretched the time between replies
until it went from seconds to hours
months to years
you did it so gracefully that one
can consider it as an art

How did you get your heart broken?
I've cross the ocean for someone
whom I'm not meant to be with.

ikaw yung wala lang
sagot ko sa tanong na
Ano ang iniisip mo?
"Wala Lang"
wala lang kasi hindi ko masabi ng buo
ang pangalan mo
na sa totoo lang pinilit kong kinakalimutan
at sana sa susunod
pag tinanong ulit ako
kung ano yung nasa isip ko
masasabi ko na ang mga katagang
"nakalimutan ko na"

take these words
take them from me
