To be free, forget who’s in charge Life is a mystery, it’s large No, you don’t need to follow them Be your true self, polish your gem Ignore what your friends are doing Look within, your heart’s screaming Empty what’s inside the mind Absorb what you need, then grind You may not know your purpose,…

Hopeful nothingness The Light breaks in, I’m ready Danger awaits me Between Black and white Breeze over fields and flowers Wings spread high and low White screen orange ring Of the eternal glass frame Assholes entertained – Jade
Read moreBecause we never really did in the first place.
Let’s not talk about daydreams anymore. Or those times where we fill each other’s baggage when unloading wasn’t an option. Let’s not think of all the possibilities that life gave us the moment we believed we were each other’s dream come true. A part of me already wants you out. A part of you is…
Read moreAnd you’re the only regret I’m willing to take again.
I should’ve just told you how much I liked you that day. Maybe now, I wouldn’t still be this attached with the idea of telling you that nothing has ever changed at all. I have my own regrets in life. But you’re one of my favorites. – El
Read moreBut thank you for passing by.
My life was lonely before you came. It felt like living in a nutshell for so long that I almost forgot how it feels like breathing new air. I didn’t wish for you, you never expected me either. It was just the late afternoon in March when someone knocked on the corners of my void…
Read moreBut maybe I just stopped caring about you.
I can’t wait for the day where you’ll finally notice I’m not your biggest fan anymore. Or the annoying one. Or the girl who pushes her luck to someone who can’t love her back. I hope you figure out what happened after you lost track of me. That somehow, my smiles made you vulnerable on…
Read moreSo, I guess, this is goodbye.
Even if we don’t tell, most of us have hard times thinking about how to forget our past. This is where we detach who’s keeping our feelings up until now. When we think we aren’t capable of moving forward again, this is the time where we feel that it’s an impossibility to restart. But love,…
Read moreHopefully, I could.
I wouldn’t look into your eyes again and tell everyone how much I craved for your sparkles that night. We almost had that incandescent feeling. But I’m glad we never ended. I’m glad I never let myself get trapped into your void again. It was too dark in there, too dark and suffocating. And maybe…
Read moreThank you for killing me.
I didn’t know a time will come where your name won’t remind me of the stars anymore. This is the time where I’d breathe peacefully, not minding the baggage you left. It was heavy, it was hard. But I didn’t know it’s a possibility I can hold someday. A possibility of new chances without my…
Read moreSomeone who’s never mine,
…someone who can’t be mine – yet darling, someone whom I never stopped loving. Maybe you are just a theory that somehow conspired decades ago, leaving me shattered feelings, still unusual to what I’ve felt. Maybe now you are just a misunderstood belief; to regret what was done, for the proofs that we almost had….
Read moreIntroduce me to Love
All the things before my eyes, Saw nothing but sparkles of delight. Through the window of my soul, You captured my delicate heart. For I still never know what love is, Like a dove who only knows how to fly. A baby mind that I possess, An empty cup about upbringing. You can teach me…
Read moreAll my life,
I have been wondering about the flaws hidden inside my void. That maybe something is actually wrong with me. That maybe it’s not every time I succeed with all the things I wish for. Maybe sometimes, there could be a time where I won’t excel like I’m always used to. I have been grasping for…
Read moreI still need a poetry to break me.
I’m still here with my pen, writing everything that I could think of. Suddenly, it occurred to me why I am being like this — that sort of imaginative yet realistic dreamer. I wasn’t surprised when I found you in my thoughts. You are a good help. In fact, the only help I’d forever cling…
Read moreAnd yours was never mine to carry.
Somewhere in the next life, there will be a place for us. I’d see myself intertwining my fingers to your hand in reality. I’m sure by that moment, we could finally happen. But I’m not going to bring these memories chained with me in our present times. I will leave this lifetime empty-handed because that’s…
Read moreI like you,
and I talk to the moon about you — but this time, I’m waking up for mornings. I like you, but it’s not every time I write about your favorite euphoria. I like you, and I’ve watched you dance, but it’s not every time my heart would beat for your smiles. I like you, and…
Read moreYou’re still my favorite mistake.
I wish I could scrape you out of my soul forever. I’m sure my heart never stopped beating because of it. It felt wrong. It’s toxic that limits my system to fathom love again. You showed me a sin that I’d be willing to forget. I never thought loving you makes me a sinner already….
Read moreI guess it’s his favorite color – yellow.
The color of the sun. Whenever I see him, he brightens up my day. The color of joy and celebration. Whenever I see him, my soul is in feast and is overjoyed. The color of lemon. Whenever I see him, I get gitty. His favorite color. And, whenever I see yellow, I always remember him….
Read morePara sa aking tala,
Pwede kong isipin na ilang taon mula ngayon, ang ating mga landas ay muling magkakatagpo. Huli kang darating sa pagtitipon at ako’y kunwaring magtatago sa isang sulok. Pwede kong sabihin na muli kong maririnig ang iyong boses sa aking likuran o di kaya’y ang iyong tawa na tila isang musika sa aking tenga. Pwede kong…
Read moreAnd I thought you wouldn’t leave a scar
— but I was wrong. You were just a little wound when we first met. You didn’t hurt that bad. It was the reason why I never took the medications given to me. I thought I could ease myself like I used to. Like a tip of an arrow, a random chess piece, or a…
Read moreMeet me in the next lifetime.
Even if my name doesn’t sound the same way to you, even if our hearts would never meet the way we do, and even if we are destined no more, I’d still hope to meet you in my afterlife. Because in there, I know my heart would still crave for the same longing, and that’s…
