Cycle
Camille Jul 2021
We once met as strangers
And became friends through time
That quickly turned into lovers
But then ended up as strangers

Alas, the cycle continues...
Until I met you.

Yellow
Camille Mar 29
The smiles in child's faces,
The laughter in my mother's eyes,
The bright golden sunrays hitting my dark brown hair,
Everybody painted the streets bright yellow,
But you painted it an unfamiliar ,summery, golden yellow.

My forest wonderland
Camille Jul 2021
My body is like an everlasting mountain full of different mountains and figures
Seeing this wonderful sight, I don't realize it's beauty, no matter its size and figure.
Perhaps, i may need another view in order to appreciate its beauty, may be its own quirks and flaws
But, as I may be doing my best to keep this wonderland, I am grateful for it to be serving me and my wellbeing

Beauty
Camille Jul 2021
Beauty is grace
Beauty is patience
Beauty is timeless
But beauty has its own uniqueness
And Beauty is not defined by one standard
But beauty is in all of us, in our own way

Hers.
Camille Mar 30
In the end, this love was worth it.
In my hand, I wrote all the things I want to admit.
I loved you, I hated you, I admired you.
You were mine, but she was yours.
344 · Mar 2021
Promise
Camille Mar 2021
Your piercing words full of deceit
Were once from a garden of blossoming flowers
Blinded by these false realities of hope and love
I didn't see it coming
The devil was in front of me all along
323 · Oct 2021
Conflict
Camille Oct 2021
Confused and conflicted, I ask myself
Why am I trying so hard to be the best
Old memories then starts to come out the shelf
Alas! Here comes the uninvited guest
Telling me I'm worthless, worse than the rest
295 · Oct 2021
Rain
Camille Oct 2021
Looking at the window pane
Observing now the pouring rain
Fake wide smiles, swollen eyes
Perfect pictures torn to pieces
Red, red, roses set aflame

Love Strings
Camille Jun 2021
An unforseen connections of two souls arise
This was a blessing in disguise
Happiness fills her darkest days
An everlasting leisure comes so fast
In which I never knew would last
Two melodies colliding in harmony
A never ending sound that plays eternally
269 · Jul 2021
Conflicting mind
Camille Jul 2021
As confusing as it can be
My mind wants to be set free
It maybe as deep as the dark blue sea
Hidden underneath are secrets we all want to see
267 · Jun 2022
Trapped
Camille Jun 2022
Contained in this lonely shedd
Ingrained are the words they said
Fearing as she misread
Sewing instead with a broken thread
A mouth that was unfed
254 · Dec 2021
A Lightened Candle
Camille Dec 2021
The candle sits still
steadily in the darkness
The cold wind strikes
making the fire and light vanish from existence
230 · Aug 2022
Trapped
Camille Aug 2022
And here, I lie, as red fills the floor
Tied to these walls built for centuries
Eyes grew cold, My mouth taped shut
My body goes numb as my vision goes blank
223 · Oct 2022
Our world
Camille Oct 2022
Your smile, your lips, your eyes
The windows to my soul breaks apart
Looking back at these empty places
Tracing my steps to where I came from
You catch me and I hold you in my arms
We both smile and our tears break us apart
218 · May 2021
Our Last
Camille May 2021
Till our last tear drop falls to the floor
We shall meet again, my friend.
Farewell
212 · Aug 2022
Abandoned
Camille Aug 2022
My paradise grew rock solid
Windows nailed shut
The ballerina stopped dancing to the music
House filled with bricks left in ruins
159 · Apr 2020
Unsent
Camille Apr 2020
Why am I scared?
I'm awake at night
thinking if you cared
Am I right?
For leaving you hopeless
With the words left unsaid
Unseen messages
My thoughts fill into dread
No one to turn to
No one to lean on
I don't know what to do
But I, will see you anon
Scared that someday, you would leave me alone
Scared that one day, you wouldn't show
148 · Nov 2020
The Enemy Within
Camille Nov 2020
Conflicting ideas turn into one
That was me
Identities of one was safely undone
As it shall be
The world was telling her to hold the gun
Wanting to set her free
With each word and action done
You can see
The fight that she had won
It was the key
141 · Oct 2022
Dancing in the dark
Camille Oct 2022
Seen in this moonlit room
Two shadows walk in
Hands shaking, voice trembles
Dancing, turning, your hands spin me around
Holding my hand, you pull me closer, handing me a rose
You swept my hair across my face, pull me close
Our stares against our souls begins to collide
Your universe collides into mine
141 · Jul 2020
Restoration
Camille Jul 2020
Cutting all of the strings attached
Repairing the holes that were once patched
Curing all of the scars left by mistake
And thus, left me with heartache
Fixing these imperfections that they all knew
It broke my heart into two
It left me blue, but it made me see through
Picking up these pieces one by one
All of these work shall be done
And I shall reap what I sow until all that was left was none
Slowly all of these chains were undone
Alas, I will see the shinning sun
139 · Apr 2020
Blinded
Camille Apr 2020
You are wonderful
You are loved
You are beautiful
But why can't you see

Trapped in chains
In cages of thoughts
Wondering why am I different
Why can't I be free
137 · Mar 2022
Crossroads
Camille Mar 2022
Strolling through atrocious paths
Here I am, Here I am
Day dreaming aftermaths
Here I am, Here I am
Stuck on crossroads
Walking on a tightrope

She
Camille Dec 2021
She
Chest tightening, she fell.
Eyes watering, she felt shivers on her caramel skin.
A downturned smile, she still laughs.
An everlasting pain, she still stands.
130 · Mar 30
Truly Yours
Camille Mar 30
My shifting gaze caught yours, unexpectedly.
Your soul was like a calm sea, comforting my ever existence.
You called to me and then I flew.
That's when I knew, it was you.
128 · Jul 2020
Secret
Camille Jul 2020
If loving you is a secret that I shall take
Then I shall take this heartache
I'd rather love you in secret
Than lose our friendship
I am not opening my closet
Unless you tell me in private
How do I know if I am still in my head
With all of these tears I've shed
Stopping myself to not express
Leaving me with distress
125 · Mar 2020
Hide & Seek
Camille Mar 2020
As we count from 1 to 10,
You were finding, seeking and looking for me until,
You found me in a crowd of people
The more I tried to avoid you, the more you liked the chase
125 · Oct 2020
And, in an Instant
Camille Oct 2020
And, in an instant, it all stopped
All the minds that have been blocked
Uncovering the veils of illusion was constant
And all suddenly became distant
Feeling stuck inside a box
Wanting to be free, as these chains unlocks
123 · Jul 2020
Words
Camille Jul 2020
He, who has been filled with guilt
Rising above this empty void he built
Reaching out to the skies above
With all the people filled with love
When all of the words were left unsaid
It was the moment that they dread
Spewing words that turned into a thread
With all of the tears they shed
With all of the words left to read
Most of the flock fled :)))
123 · Mar 2022
Follow Me.
Camille Mar 2022
Be my shadow and I'll be your light
Behold the muse to my artwork, singing with delight
The story behind my writing, this is my final plea
Like footprints in the sand, follow me.
117 · Mar 31
Paglubog
Camille Mar 31
sa bawat pagpatak ng ulan
sa bawat pagbuhos ng aking luha
ako'y sumasayaw magisa
puno ng pighati at saya
ako'y nalulubog sa aking emosyon
sa bawat ngiti, hiya, at tiyaga,
ako'y nagiisa, ngunit di ako nagiisa.
116 · Oct 2022
Flames
Camille Oct 2022
Impatiently waiting, the time strikes two
Slowly anticipating, filled with chaos and doubt,
Frustrated glares and mixed faces, Eating more than I can chew
Sinking spaces, racing thoughts, experiencing drought
115 · Nov 2022
Focus
Camille Nov 2022
The music spirals me unto the room
Moving swiftly, dancing to the beat
Singing softly, whispering loudly
Typing hasty, losing count of time
My heart beats faster, the pressure raises
My thoughts succumb me, and I then resist
Ecstasy fills the room, I continue to dance to the beat of the drums
109 · Nov 2022
Questions
Camille Nov 2022
Blurry visions, clear blue skies
My watery eyes deceive me as I look into the mirror
Distorted faces, mistaken places
Thoughts and questions thinking where and why
Deep breathing, sudden gazes
Looking down these rabbit holes
An endless loop of surprises
105 · May 2021
Time and Again
Camille May 2021
And maybe,
when the time comes,
we can be together again.
104 · Jul 2020
Mask
Camille Jul 2020
Yet life as it is, we should let it be
I found that being myself was so free
Rather than hiding in a mask never to be revealed
The true self that was always sealed
Was now released, only to be free
Just like a seedling, growing into a tree
104 · Jun 2022
Showtime
Camille Jun 2022
You use me, replace me, reuse and repeat
With the words you spread and lies so sweet
Discretely I hid the way you mistreat
I was your greatest victim my downfall made you complete
With your twisted words and cover uped lies
I hope you enjoy my biggest suprise
103 · Oct 2022
Worry
Camille Oct 2022
Stretched eyebrows and fake laughters
Awkward smiles, pacing back and forth
The small lit brick fills the room with light
Darkness encloses me in
And eventually, I set it free
102 · Apr 2021
Cycles
Camille Apr 2021
Imagining scenarios in a different perspective
Looking deep in your imagination
Scars starts to rise; it seems to be ineffective
And with an empty canvas, you start with your creation
And as you go on, the cycle repeats itself again and again
And as you conquer this mess, you shall reign
101 · Jan 2020
Finding myself first
Camille Jan 2020
It was the first time I saw you
In somewhere I never knew
Your perfectly imperfect eyes
To which I tried to tell lies

You were killing me inside
With these feelings I tried to hide
I avoided you with all my might
But I can't stop thinking about you every night

These feelings won't go away
As they lead me astray
To a path that leads me to love myself
Being caring and loving to oneself

I learned from you that I should be me
As I found that being myself was so free
Rather than hiding in a mask never to be revealed
The true self that was always sealed

You taught me to be more vulnerable
And not to be so miserable
I learned to do the things I want to do
And that's how I knew these feelings grew

I started to move on from all of the pain
But it was you who I wanted to attain
I still loved you deeply from afar
But these made me have a scar
101 · Jul 2020
Loneliness
Camille Jul 2020
Appearing in the moonlight day by day
Lurking in the shadows
Appearing out of the blue
Striking me with fear
Sending shivers down my spine
Leaving me with hopelessness
Me and my fears in the night :(((
100 · Feb 2020
Eyes
Camille Feb 2020
Your unsettlingly deep and hypnotic eyes
Caught my attention to my suprise
Deep and dark as the ocean sea
Sparkly and dreamy as it is filled with Glee
100 · Aug 2022
Chaos
Camille Aug 2022
Roars of anger echoes along the hallway
Murmurs heard around the neighborhood
The rooms starts to empty as distance builds
Years passed as time ticks along
Yet with faith, reunited once again
Eyes filled with water as worlds collide once again
98 · Mar 2020
"I'm Fine"
Camille Mar 2020
I get lost in my head, filled with words of doubt and insecurities
Feeling alone in a place full of people I wish to see
Seeing the people I love going away one by one
"I'm ok"

Feeling scared to face my fears, to speak out my opinion to others
People laughing at my insecurities, laughing at every mistake I make
"I'ts fine"
98 · Mar 2020
The Sun and Moon
Camille Mar 2020
In a sea of stars I see,
A bright light,
Shines blindingly than the others
Full of love and hope

But I am just a moon
A reflection of her happiness
Surrounded by stars but blinded by one
She's the only one I see and need
98 · Oct 2022
Invisible things
Camille Oct 2022
The smile you give me as you sip your coffee
With helping hands, you give me strength
Each day is a battle I will never forget
Shinning laughter fills the room
Ecstacy and delight brings our universes together
97 · Oct 2020
Tranquil Thursday
Camille Oct 2020
The calming breeze passes by
Luring me in, soaring so high
Drying my tears in every eye
Looking above to the night sky
Saying goodbye with a bitter lie
Catching my breath as I deny
Perceiving everything in my mind's eye
Wistful belonging as I sigh
97 · Mar 29
Haunted
Camille Mar 29
The skeletons in my closet wonder
Unanswered questions, I dare to ask
Haunting my ever existing body, it asks and tells
I answer, they stumble and mumble my name
My humbled body slumbers to its death, waiting to awake once again.
94 · Nov 2022
Jubilee
Camille Nov 2022
Wide smiles, happy faces
Laughter fills the room
The spotlight aches for attention
A dozen roses tossed around
The microphone speaks, the person shouts
The voice echoes all throughout the room
Screams of triumph, the trophies rises
93 · Feb 2020
Unexplainable darkness
Camille Feb 2020
So many questions but one stands out
So many answers, a question of doubt
What are these feelings?
These deeply scarred wounds
These bottled feelings
scared to be expressed
Suffering alone in darkness
Loneliness unfolds

Saw a blinding light filled with joy
I'm rushing back to it
Reaching my hand out
Seeking for justice and hope
It shines brightly, blinding my sight
I thought I could catch up to it
But it is to far away
I did best to reach out and see
And finally, I came out of the darkness
Out of my misery
92 · Oct 2022
Gratitude
Camille Oct 2022
Seeing this light from an empty void
I rise up and let you in
You rise me up and raise my voice
Light shines from my red lips
You give me hope and faith to shine again
