it hurt when I stumbled across her. she was like broken glass all along the floor. but it was beautiful and my curiosity got the best of me. I remember looking at her and all I could see was pain. she had this insane look of desperation; you could almost feel it. and yet her eyes were still hollow; like the life had been sucked out of her. I wanted to pick up her pieces. I wanted to put her back together. and so I tried. I really did. I got a little cut along the way. the more I tried to fix her the more fragile I became myself but I didn’t care. I wanted to see her happy. every time I made her laugh I thought about how I wanted to make her laugh forever. she was getting better. eventually she was put together enough to get up and walk away. but she didn’t take me with her. and I’ve been stuck sitting here where I first found her. wondering if the pieces left on the floor are hers or mine. I should probably get the fuck up. Dear you, Do you know many times you’ve failed me? Do you know how many times I’ve cried too much and how much I’ve lost for caring too much? You wouldn’t. You’re too busy minding your own when I was trying to hide every tear and stifle every sob. So much for love. Labels: kwentong pag-ibig, pain, poetry
you speak her name differently, like a sharp edge on sea glass, like the morning your mother stopped making your lunches, like how blueberries taste at their ripest. your eyes catch on her like a snagged sweater, you unravel yourself on her.
she laughs and the room fills up with the sound of it, and you explode into it. her fingers between yours are little anchors, little reminders of fragile and whole. she sings the world at the top of her lungs, she drives herself into rainstorms.
but you’re soft, poison ivy, small weed body. you cannot crawl into her cracks and make her into garden, not when she is already a forest all on her own. she holds shadows between her hipbones and folds herself razor notes she tucks into the cavities inside her soul, ripped aching holes that hands like yours don’t know how to sew.
you want to make her a necklace out of kisses just so she can’t hang a noose where love bruises would. you want to be the person she calls at four in the morning when the sweat breaks out down her spine and her grave starts calling. you want to give her your secrets as an unopened box, give her your body as the key. you want to tell her: we were born from the same demons, became iron in fire, swallowed the same bitter sea.
but you are nothing, and she is lovely, and in the morning, someone else will be her ocean, in the way you’ll never be.
Labels: poetry You don’t get to choose who handles your heart. There are simply people who were born with it in their teeth. When you meet them, it is best to build a bomb shelter. Labels: kwentong pag-ibig, poetry, quotes “You’re going to do something terrible, you’re going to kiss someone else with that mouth. And I will not forgive you, because I will not know how to forget that my skin is mine but mostly it’s yours. We were charting another Atlantis together on the map of my body, And I’m taking it back now. Your knowledge, my secrets, my gasps when you touch me there, and there, how these new worlds were for you. So you’ll kiss another mouth, and maybe you’ll enjoy it, maybe it’ll taste like new summer or wild berries or something you’ve never had on your tongue before but when you come back for me with your hands wide open I will not come, I will not look for you, and I will not forgive you.” Labels: poetry And once more I'll try to say goodbye To the feelings that long ago should have already died To the love I have hidden for quite a long time To the cherished memories I have kept for so long in my mind To the words i so long to hear from you To the quiet hours when I felt terribly blue To the days I waited for you to be mine To the love which remained unrequited and blind. -rainbowmoonfire Labels: kwentong pag-ibig, pain, poetry She stands at the edge of the Cliff of Chance & Love. But she is too scared to take a leap, since she knows HE is not there to catch her when she falls. 😢 Labels: kwentong pag-ibig, pain, poetry I walk in an empty corner Dreaming of you and me together The face of a thousand angel Lie beneath in your inner soul How can I resist the temptation When you are my addiction Set my heart on fire Embracing the raging flame. Imagination kills reality I stop to think quickly The shadow of curiousity Steal a chance for infinity I said "you are indeed loved by many" She said "yes i am,temporary" Confused to think I can't hold a drink Watching her dancing The world is revolving Thinking how cruel the world is For an angel created by masterpiece As I hold her hand She was stuck in wonderland We move to a better place Where I cannot recognize a face The sky's sympathize I cannot empathize Tears rolling in this beautiful statue While looking for my point of view Bus stopped,rushly ran to nowhere You disappear into thin air Leaving a letter of forgiveness I asked for a one final kiss Years later,a news came I tried to behave Finding out you already left Wishing to be deaf As I knee down,shattered glass follow Cursing six feet below Now I survive in this world Trying to live the best that I could Thank you for leaving a mark The scars of yesterday will remain undone Labels: kwentong pag-ibig, pain, poetry |
