you can't love someone into taking care of you.
love is not a trade.
i had hopes and dreams for us,
wishing you would answer my prayers,
to do better and love me the way no one has.
i was a fool to be a believer.

kneeling and begging, maybe then you'll feel empathy,
maybe it'll grow into a love (that is never meant to be).
but still, love is love; maybe it will be enough.
i'll carry a cross just to prove i'm tough.

love is a religion i want to forget.
i have realized it will never save our story from death.
losing my belief over someone's son,
my dear, in your church, i'm just so done.
love me... make it pure, make it gentle, make it something i want and need. god, why am i even begging for it?
love is a religion i want to forget
sadness is like a tail
always connected to me
following me around

i'm well aware it's not part of my body tho
it shouldn't be
but why is it here?
i'm just too sad to fix this piece, sorry.
tulad ng himig ng mga awit ng pag-ibig,
ang tamis ng lambing na hatid ng mga ito.
kung may tinig ang pagmamahal,
maaaring ito ay boses mo.
tulad ng sinabi ko sa'yo, mas mapagmahal ang mga tulang isinulat sa lengguwaheng filipino.
i'm biting my tongue to keep the raging stream of words from spilling out. i still can’t help but let some escape through my lips. i try to swallow the rest until my throat burns, gagging, crying—it's making me sick. dear god, where do i put all this anger?
have u ever puked out of anger?
staring at my broken mirror, i beg the person in front of me to come back home to myself again, to remember who i was before it all: before i learned to put makeup on my face, before i knew what it felt like to be heartbroken, before i carried all this anger, before i lost all my hope, and before i changed who i was. to learn to love myself again before i started wishing someone else would.
the next time i fall in love, i want it to be myself. and if i fail, i'll do it again, and again, and again.
