Love is a hand on my back
Love is riding a train with me
Love is going places with no particular destination
Love Swears
Love buys trust but
Love doesn't earn it
Not right away
but Love does

Love wakes up in the morning beside you and says
'Spit it out already!' because
Love knows when you're stalling
Love knows when you're nervous
Love knows

Love is lost
Love is gone, for a bit
Love is there, but isn't
Love is quiet
Love was LOUD
Love won't understand
Love will still be Love

Love will be okay
Love will write to you,
once in a while
Love will return home
and ask for your forgiveness
Love will say things

Love will make you believe things
and make you think things you shouldn't
                    You will try to hate Love
but you will fail
Because even if Love is a hurricane,
You're prepared for the storm

Love Is

"You are the math problem I can't solve
My mind can't get over the fact that my thoughts revolve
Around you - increase velocity, travel quicker than the speed of light
That's easy to flicker
When I'm with you, my hard resolve gets weaker
My ice turns to water

You are the 50 meter free I swim
After you like the breath I try to catch
Your attention and keep it in my lungs instead
of the Air I waste
Watch how I attempt to fascinate
You with a line of words I've strung through
together with You
As the subject of each sentence

You are the last book I read
After weeks of putting you away, you're still in my head
I reread the lines of your pages
Wondering if there's any meaning even in the spaces
Between what's written
And what's spoken
Each chapter is written in a whole new - different language

You are the hill I will try to skate
Even if I know that when I fall, there'll be a high chance I'll break
Something important
Or, if I'm lucky, walk away with just a few scrapes
Either way,
I will still skate
Because I heard the rush of adrenaline-
Of emotions
Is difficult
To replicate.

You Are The Math Problem I Can't Solve

This was written three years ago for a project in one of my subjects during Freshman year.

'Images'

"I don't get why wee need to change
our faces, make-up - it all just seems so strange
Why can't we just take look inside
See things beyond our eyes
beyond the lines, beyond the lies
beyond what's lying on the faces
the shapes, the bodies, the sizes
They don't make the person,
The person paints the image
The image imprints on the mind
The mind interprets- the body we forget.

If we just forget the body, the face for a moment
Imagine how we'd change our views
After all, it's us who define the word BEAUTIFUL
Making us half full of ourselves
or half empty

Like I said, it's how you look in the mirror
and interpret what you see
and to not count what others think necessary

'The smudges of ink on her wrist
I wanted to kiss away
Her mistakes, she tried in vain to erase
But she could not hide them

The beads of sweat on his face
I wanted to wipe away
His feeling of remorse, his anger, he let astray
But he could not hide it

The drops of tears, so raw and hot
We tried to stop them but, sadly, we could not
Whatever mistakes we made
Whatever emotions we felt
Came in like a hurricane
Crashed in like a tide
Caused us so much pain
Left no trace for us to hide'

The Smudges Of Ink On Her Wrist

'Miss Communication'

"There's something wrong with the network
I'm trying to talk to you
but the message won't get through
You don't use your ears to see
Nor your eyes to hear
If you don't try to understand 
You might as well not been able to hear me

There's something wrong with the connection
When even you can't see
The line that draws the distinction
Between what you say
and what you do
You rarely follow through
All I can do
Is hope you
Stick to your word
Even if I know
the line you drew
is blurred

There's something wrong with our communication
A phone works both ways
but the message takes a sidetrip
and only returns after a few days
When all is done
and everything that's said
isn't needed anymore."

Miss Communication

"Masakit isipin
pero dapat tanggapin
ang Katotohanan

Mahirap abutin
Pero kakayanin
Ko basta ikaw

Ipaglalaban ko
Hanggang dulo
Magdusa man ako."

21 Salita Para Kay Trese

Para kang kasintahan,
Ikaw ang aking binabalik-balikan
Tuwing pagod, masakit o ayaw na intindihin ang lahat. Gusto ko ng katahimikan, ikaw ang aking tatakbuhan.
Hilahin mo lang ako sa kama, ayaw ko nang bumangon pa. 

Ibubulong lahat ng problema ko
Dahil alam na ikaw ay makikinig 
Ng walang paghuhusga
Ating usapan ay walang malisya
Mali ang Sistema 
Ikaw ang sagot na laging tama

Ngunit saking pagtakbo
Papunta sayo
Ang aking mga buto tila ay gawa sa bakal
Ramdam ko ang bigat ng aking katawan
Parang lulubog sa'king mga unan 

Ang aking luha ay apoy na sinusunog lahat ng madaanan, gitna, kaliwa at kanan. 
Ang init, ang bigat ng aking kalooban. 

'Di ko maintindihan.'
Paulit-ulit ito saking isipan. 
'Di ko maintindihan.'
'Di ko maintindihan.'
'Di ko maintindihan.'

Pagkapikit ko
Tayo
Sabay takbo
Palayo 
Silakbo
Hinahabol na ako ng takot
Na ako ay magigising 

Pag gising, kaharap muli ang aking kalaban. Nangininig ako sa takot ngunit nakangiti.
'Muli tayong nagkita, kaibigan.' sinungaling ko sa sarili.

Tulog

I cut my nails today
It doesn't seem much of a big deal, really
But they've grown long enough, sharp enough to pierce skin
My skin
I've dragged them along inches of my body hoping my worthlessness would come off as easily
I've dug them into my palms so hard trying desperately to numb my thoughts with pain
But not today.
I cut my nails today.

I took a shower today
I know it's a totally normal thing
But earlier I hoped that I rinsed away all the bad things in my head
That the bubbles would provide me with air in case I decide to stop breathing today
But hey
I took a shower today

I got out of bed today
It took me about 2 h to open my eyes and another 2 to sit up
I took another h to lie down again
Still I managed to wake, shower get dressed and eat today.
Phew.

Sometimes it gets difficult to do such simple things
When it gets pointless the pain endless, the numbness gets worse,
Breathe.
Sit up.
Close your eyes.
Open them.
Realise youre still alive.
Realise you can try again. Try again tomorrow.
