cheap hotel: a poem

my body is a hotel full of guests who do not pay their bill room 1 houses a boy who wraps his hands around my throat as he asks about my father whispers from next door ask him if he is really afraid to die they seem to come from inside the foundations of the building and his upstairs neighbours are always banging on the floor in the hopes that he will notice them my walls want to cave in on themselves and the dining room is always full of monsters bathroom drains clogged with hair and piss, pipes moaning in fear i am filling up and it is terrifying a sick, sick man is squatting in the basement  all of my residents know, but nobody says anything out of politeness or fear  until it...

I helped the guy I love cheat

We sure do crazy things when in love. We see and feel right in the wrong things. We also get selfish and greedy. We simply become stupid. Is it bad of me if I say I felt no guilt towards his 6-year girlfriend when we did the deed?  I was in ecstasy for he was mine, even if just for that short period of time. It was very selfish of me to think he'd have feelings for me growing just because something happened between the two of us.  But everything I assumed proved me wrong when he acted as if nothing happened the very next day and every damn day when we see each other.  I was shattered even until today. He called what we did our closure, but closure to what I ask? - I painfully don't...

True Love hurts

Before my college graudation, we went to our school's strawberry farm and there we had our retreat - since our school is one of those catholic schools. I was emotionally broken at that time and I was trying my hardest not to show it to my friends, so I was having fun and all but deep down, I know I am not.  It was hard to pretend being the usual happy-go-luck me but I sure tried my best for them and for me.  It was at lunch a song was played that hit me through my heart which was like my heart was the one singing it with so much emotion to a point I was in tears yet with a sad and pained yet beautiful smile plastered on my face.  The title of the song played was 'Baby, I love you' by...

YOUR HAPPINESS

YOUR HAPPINESS

How many shooting stars should I wish for you to become mine? If I long to make you feel my infinity, how long does forever make? How many nights do it take for me to wait? For me to place your hands upon this heartbeat solely yours? The exquisite break of my heart every time I realize how we are infinitely worlds apart. How my earth revolves on a different axis against your world, my time running so painfully slow while yours flow in a rhythm I could never dance into. I can only watch you from afar, painstakingly accepting the bittersweet reality that I was not made to be...

Why we push people away and why it's not fine.

Why we push people away and why it's not fine.

Sometimes when we feel hurt or angry we tend to push people away. Often times, we end up hurting their feelings and destroying the relationship. Now, I have to admit that I too am guilty of this, but I have been trying to change it. It's not easy, but we'll get there :)  I came to realize that doing so, is not going to help solve the problem. In fact, it makes it worse. We want the other person to keep chasing us, but of course they're not mind readers. They don't know what you're thinking. Most of the times they will just assume that we want them out of our lives and stay away, which leaves us even more hurt cuz we think that we didn't matter enough to them. So, let's stop ruining...
