A Message From Marupok To Marupok
Galaxyofunspokenwords' definition of marupok: adj. Filipino term for being soft-hearted; you are most likely marupok if you fall for someone too fast and too hard. Just a simple "hi" would make your legs weak; a simple "i miss you" would make you crumble.

Hey you,

Minsan, ang pag-ibig ay mapagbiro,
Dadalhin ka sa taong ayaw mo.
Mapapakamot ka na lang ba't siya ang dumating sa'yo,
Kahit na kabaligtaran ang iyong gusto.
Tunay ngang may dahilan ang lahat ng bagay,
Baka ikaw ang maging daan sa pagbabago ng kanyang buhay.
Pero kaila...
And so I said it is enough...
It is enough that I made my feelings known to you...That I have opened my heart once again...That I have shown what I can offer even after my heart has been powdered to pieces. It is enough that I stretched my arms to hold your falling pieces......

Still inflicted by the footprints

Was it that moment when my gaze landed on you?
Was it when you smiled?
Was it when you talked to me?
Was it when you helped me?

Alone in a crowded room
Finding out my new home
Losing sanity amidst my plea
Shadows of pasts pulling me.
Sinking, drowning
Tornadoes whirling,
Cuts of roses I embrace
Running exasperatedly in your maze.
Lie after lie,
Dreadfully watching me die
Fighting my own war
