MONSTRESS

the world has turned and left me here
just where i was before you appeared
and in your place an empty space
has filled the void behind my face

i just made love with your sweet memory
one thousand times in my head
you said you loved it more than ever
you said

you remain, turned away
turning further every day

i talked for hours to your wallet photograph
and you just listened
you left enchanted by my intellect
or maybe you didn’t

you remain, turned away    
turning further every day

SAWANG-SAWA NA AKO!!!
sa iyong walang katapusang pangungupit

WALANG-WALA NA NGA AKO!!!
ngunit daig pa ng
iyong inbisibol na kamay (na kasing lawak ng himpapawid)
ang mga kawatan sa gobyerno

NAKAKAASAAAAAAR!!!

pero kahit na
SAWANG-SAWA NA AKO!!!
patuloy pa rin akong magpapakupit

ano ba naman ang laban ng
kinukubal na daliri
sa lupit ng inbisibol na kamay?

kaya pala tinatawag nila akong "tanga"
samantalang ang tawag nila sa iyo’y

i woke up from this dream to find that i was sleeping
so i went back to sleep and i dreamed i was awake
i locked myself inside but you were on the outside
i stood outside and watched but i couldn’t let you in

maybe you could see inside yourself

if only you could know that growing up means letting go
maybe then you’d grow up by yourself

i’m growing up again…
i’m learning to accept that all good things must come to an end
i’m trying to understand what it’s like
to let go of a friend

if i die tomorrow, would this song live on forever?
here is my unopened letter to a world
that never shall reply

on random notes of parchment, i’m scrawling my existence
dressed in white 
this candle radiates throughout the night
and it’s never burning out

am i not good enough for the world?
am i destined only to die the same way that i lived…
in seclusion

from high upon this mountain i can almost see your lonely windowsill
there’s a ghost in your old bedroom and a candle burning bright

if i die tomorrow would this song live on forever?

Such a lonely day
And its mine
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It’s a day that I can’t stand
Such a lonely day
Shouldn’t exist
It’s a day that I’ll never miss
The most loneliest day of my life
Life
Such a lonely day
And its mine
It’s a day that I’m glad I survived

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

I hate love.

Bakit ba
    kelangan mong ipikit
ang iyong mga mata
    para lamang
        makita mo
ako?
