If loving someone means risking about losing yourself, would you rather lose yourself or choose on loving yourself this time even if that means loving them less?

Pito labing-isa
Aking binalikan itong ating dating tambayan, biglang napaluha nang maalala ang nakaraan… na ikay kadaupang palad habang umuulan. Kapeng iyong iniinom, sa labi mo na yun ko nalalasahan, Oh kay sarap naman talagang balik-balikan. Sa bawat tugtugin sa radyo ng sasakyan, kasabay ng mga awitin na iyong sinusundan, puso koy Continue Reading

Sa Muli Patawad
Narito ako ngayon sa harap mo, Duguan at puno ng pagkabigo Namumutla ang aking mga pisngi Sa mukha mo na puno ng pangamba at pagsisi Patawad kung pinili ko sila kaysa sayo Patawad kung nagmahal ako mas higit pa sa kaya ko Patawad kung nakalimutan ko lahat na meron tayo Continue Reading

PAANO NA TAYO, BES?
Isa. Dalawa. Tatlo. Ilang hakbang pa.Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad habang nakatuon sa akin ang kanilang mga mataPero malabo silang lahat dahil sayo lang ako nakatingin sintaDinadama ko ang bawat segundo’t minuto ng pinakamahalagang araw na itoDati ay pangarap ko lang ang lahat ng ito, hindi ko inakalang magkakatotooNaaalala mo pa ba Continue Reading

MUNTIK KA NANG NAGING AKIN
Minsan tinanong ako ng kaibigan ko,Ano nga ba ang nagustuhan ko sa’yo?Simple lang naman ang naging sagot koSobrang masaya ako sa tuwing nasa piling mo. Oo, naging masaya ako. Ngunit lingid sa aking kaalamanKaligayahang iyon ay panandalian langKapalit ng bawat ngiti’t tawang iyong hatidWagas na sakit at pait na aking Continue Reading

Back to MY SELF again
I get up every dayStruggling from this so-called painTrying to get me back on trackFrom all the noises inside my headthat keeps on repeating like a broken record. I’ve battled so hard and bruised myselfthose scars lived within me.Some are healed and some are unhealed.I still have wounds that hurt Continue Reading

I Am A Work In Progress
I am unlovable and I am fully aware. I can be apathetic, rude, and careless. I am not the best that there is in this world. I am not who you want me to be. I am scarred. Lonely most of the time. I smile but it does not really Continue Reading

YOU DID IT AGAIN!
You did it again!That same thing you said you wouldn’t do.Here you are again.Punishing yourself for doing the same mistake. Thoughts are surging your mind.Questions devour your head.What will I do? Where will I go?Will I run away or will I run to you?In moments where direction is unknownIn times you’re Continue Reading

Naghintay at Maghihintay
Gaano ka na katagal naghihintay? Naghihintay sa mga bagay na hindi mo alam kung kailan darating o kung darating pa nga ba Naghihintay na balang araw ang inipon mong karanasan ay maibahagi na sa iba sapagkat nakamit mo na ang laman ng iyong mga panalangin. Maka ilang ulit mo na Continue Reading

Babae
Balingkinitan, maputi, makinis – MAGANDA Matangkad, matalino, talentado- MAGANDA Matangos ang ilong, pantay ang kilay, mapupungay ang mga mata- MAGANDA. Dito nga lang ba nasusukat ang kagandahan ng isang babae? Sa pisikal na anyo at sa kung ano ang sabi ng mundo? Nakalimutan na ba natin kung ano ang mas Continue Reading

Gising sa Gabi
Musmos pa lamang ay bukang bibig na ng mga matatanda, “Magdasal, ipikit ang mga mata at matulog ng maaga.” Hindi sumunod at ipinagsawalang-bahala Dilat hanggang maubos ang mga tala. Kinalakhan at tila ginawang bisyo. Tanong nila sa akin, “Hindi ka ba natatakot sa multo?” Sa paniniwalang hindi ako mapapahamak Hinayaan Continue Reading

Like I Used To
I used to laugh out of gladness from my heart,I used to sing with praises from my lips,I used to dance with joy in victory,I used to tell what it feels like to have peace I can’t compare.But, something changed, and these things started fading away.One compromise.My once joy was Continue Reading

Salipawpaw
Isa kang salipawpaw sa himpapawid na lilipas din sa aking langit Ang iyong ingay ay ‘di lamang tinig kundi isang awit Ngunit ang iyong pagdaan ay hindi ko lubos mabatid Naparito ka ba upang magsundo o maghatid? Sa lawak ng kalangitan, sa tanaw ko pa napadaan Dampi ng dala mong Continue Reading

Hindi na…
Hindi na maghihintay sa iyong pagbabalik Mga bagay na kailangan binatawan na Sapagkat masasaktan ka lamang sa tuwina Kaya hahayaan na lang at ipauubaya Hindi na aasahan na ika’y muling babalik Mahirap abutin ang bagay na hindi mo nakikita Isang suntok sa hangin kumbaga Kaya ipinauubaya na lang sa Continue Reading

Sometimes, I wonder why Things didn’t happen according to our desire. Sometimes, I wonder why Things are bound to break my heart. — We were once happy back then Fueled by sweet words and actions Filled with love and inspiration Strengthen by care and admiration. You made me Continue Reading

San nga ba tayo nagsimula?
Nagsimula sa pagpapakilala ng mga pangalan, nagkakulitan nagkapalitan ng mga pangalan, sa pangalan nagsimula pangalang pinagmulan ng pagmamahalan matatag. Nagkatawagan, nagkapalitan ng mensahe araw araw inaabot ng gabi gabi, pagkukukulitang nauwi sa asaran, asarang pinagmulan ng storyang kay ganda. Unti – Unti nagkakamabutihan at nagkakaseryosohan pangalang pinagmulan napalitan ng pagmamahalang Continue Reading

I Love You From The Bottom of My Hypothalamus
When I glanced at you for the first time, I felt a little jump in my heart. Woah. That was unexpected! I remember briefly how my breathing hitched when I looked at you. It was so… odd. No one has ever made me feel that way at first glance. I Continue Reading

ANAMNESIS
I’ve secretly loved him through metaphors and song lyrics. My heart beats in Morse Codes and linguistics. He’s neither into whiskey nor into double cups of coffee. “My dearest” was a meaningful word, that only I would use to address him as a password. Romeo was not associated with Shakespeare, Continue Reading

Tarak|ape
Gusto ko ng kape, yun sobrang init,Kasing init ng pagmamahal na ibinigay ko sa kanya noong kami pa. Gusto ko ng kape, yun matindi, Hindi tulad noong kami, na sa lahat ng bagay mahirap umintindi. Gusto ko ng kape, na ‘di lang matapang na kaya kang ipaglaban, Kundi yun mabuti Continue Reading

Rutang Nilalakbay
Matatapos ang araw sa isang madilim na gabi Magsisimula naman ito sa isang maliwanag na umaga Paulit-ulit na mangyayari Ngunit, mananatili lamang itong isang ruta Ruta na di alam saan papunta Kailan kaya babalik sa normal ang lahat? Kailan kaya tayo magiging masayang muli? Hanggang kailan ba magiging limitado ang Continue Reading

New Love
The season is changing, Hearts are mending, After all the waiting and wondering, The soul that’s searching Has both found the beginning and ending, To welcome new love, To close old doors, To find rest in God’s answers. “And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I Continue Reading

Healing
Your heart is not a glass When it breaks, it still mends Your heart is not a glass When it shatters, it still beats Dont treat it as if there’s no restoration, Though it hurts when it has been broken, Your heart gets stronger Every time you try, once more.

EPITOME OF TIME
Without you, waiting feels like, Years become months, Then months to weeks, And weeks to days until I get tired… But when you showed up, I feel like I want everything to move slowly, How to make seconds to be hours? Days to be a long, long week to see Continue Reading

Ayaw Ko Na, Gusto Kita
Sa tuwing maiisip kita, Lumbay makikita sa aking mga mata. Ang limutin ka’y hindi basta basta, Masasayang alaala’y laging nagugunita. Gusto na kitang kalimutan, Ngunit wala akong maisip na paraan. Oh kay hirap mong palitan, Dahil sa taglay mong kabutihan. ‘Di ko magawang sayo ay magalit, Ni wala Continue Reading

Munimuni
Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin ang salitang tahan? Tumahan ka sapagkat wala na ang tahanan, Na dati ay palagi mong pinupuntahan at inuuwian, Wala na, ang taong tinatawag mong tahanan. Gabi-gabi ka na lamang umiiyak na pawang walang katapusan, Ang mga luha na patuloy na tumutulo sa bawat katotohanan, Na Continue Reading
