~WHAT IS LOVE?~

Do you ever feel loved?

Or do you ever loved somebody?

Because I do. My first love was painful,

to the point that I was so scared to love again.

I was so sad broken and empty.

She was the one who fulfilled me,yet she's al

so one who emptied me.

My heart was like a broken glass trying to be fixed again.

Impossible right?

Yeah,it may be fixed but it will never be the same again.

I cried gallons of tears,

i waited for her to comeback.

But she didn't

I therefore conclude that love will do nothing but to hurt you.

It will just cause you pain,

nothing more nothing less.

To pretend that you're okay

when you're dying inside is like shooting a gun to yourself

then tell yourself not the bleed.

But then I met the girl ,

the type of a girl which I exactly wanted.

But I was down and hopeless knowing that shes beautiful.

She's a glitter and Im onlyba dust.

What if she won't even notice me?

What if she will hurt me too?

Then I ignored whatever I feel for

her.Maybe its just an infatuation....

we became friends

,she's like an abstract art,

messy but beautiful & meaningful.

As the days,weeks and months passed by,

I caught myself smiling like an idiot out of blue.

I have this strange feeling.

I know,I like her.Then I started to change,

for the better.I quitted smoking and lessen the times that I drink alcoholic beverages

.Guess what? Its because of her.

Love is magical.

Just because someone left you doesn't mean everybody else will.

Everyone will hurt

you,but there's always this one person who's worth the pain,

who's worth fighting for.

Love is like climbing up the hill,

too many circumsyances

but it feels so good when you made it to the top.




(Spoken Poetry)

~Ikaw at Ako~

Ikaw na mahal na mahal ko 

Ako na dating minahal mo

Ikaw na ginawang sentro at itinuring na prinsesa ng buhay ko

At ako itong wala lang sayo

Ikaw na busy na sa iba at halos di mo na ako maalala

at habang ako na patalisado dahil di kita malimutan]

ikaw na ngayong may mahal ng iba

at ako na hanggang ngayon sa iyong pagbabalik ay umaasa

ikaw na masaya na  ngayon sa piling ng iba

habang ako na naghihinagpis at sa sakit na halos dina makahinga

ikaw na aking sineryoso at minahal ko ng buong buo

at ako na iyong niloko at pinaglaruan ng parang sayo

ikaw na sinayang ang seryosong tulad ko

at ako na umaasa sa pagbabalik mo at kahit na sinaktan ng paulit-ulit

pero heto parin ako na naghihintay sa pagbabalik mo 

na hangdang magpakatanga para sa'yo
