its always been a wonder to me,
what keeps everyone waking up every morning ?

what gets you out of bed?

what can be so strong
that overcomes the want to not exist .

or is it just me ?

How do you
Forgive yourself
For all the
Things that
You never
Became?

sapphire nights
spent with your body
pressed on mine,
hearts racing
stars aligning
moonlit promises
forgotten by dawn,
each bittersweet memory
a reminder
of what could have been.

this disease has rotted my brain,
tore out my flesh,
paralysed my muscles.
it's made my body corpse
and i'm trapped in this coffin,
running out of oxygen,
waiting for my heart to stop beating,
but i think i've already died.

Dati ako'y nagagalak sa dilim–tahimik at payapa.
Nakakaramdam na ako'y malaya.
Sa paglipas ng panahon,
nagbago na ang aking pananaw.
Hindi na tuwa,
kundi takot na ang nangingibabaw.
Sa pagsapit ng dilim, heto nanaman.
Nangangamba sa mga munting tinig na umaalingawngaw.
Pagdurusang walang makarinig kahit gaano kalakas ang iyong sigaw.

The silence is louder than any words that they can yell.

He looks at her, she glances away.

She looks at him, he turns his head.

What are they afraid of?

If she opens her mouth, will he ask her to leave?

If he opens his mouth, will she say she has to go?

What brought them together?

Is it the missing passion that she longs for?

Is it the missing person that he needs?

What happens now?

They put a smile on their face and pretend it was nothing.

That is what happens with the silence between two lovers.
