Afraid

Uncertainty has been clouding my thoughts for months now
Because you have never once 
Expressed how you felt 
After I blurted out those three little words. 

You have yet to tell me, 
Your feelings,
So I can move on.

Your jealously annoys me. 
But your touch teases, yet pleases me 
In ways you will never know. 

Why do you do this to me?! 
Is the question I would ask you.
Is it out of pure selfishness?
Or is it out of fear?

Are you afraid to tell me if you reciprocate my feelings 
Because you don’t want to lose me if you don’t 
Or perhaps you think I will hate you, 
Or perhaps you think I will love you.

What scares you so much to put me through this?

I want to ask you all these questions
But contrarily, I am honestly afraid of the answers.

The Ultimate Test

He has a plan for all of us. 
He puts us through adverse situations, 
So we 
His children 
Can grow stronger,
Wiser.
These are His ultimate tests of life. 

The first exam could be His test of courage 
Midterm could be His test of strength 
The final could be His test of faith. 

Some may need to find the courage to love.
Others may need to find the strength to live. 
Several may need to find faith in themselves.

No matter how difficult the hardships of life are, 
Everything happens for a reason. 

He is the only One who knows where our fate lies. 
It is not for us to dictate nor decide.
He just wants us to love, 
Live, 
And just embrace the ride.

Mr. Anonymous

I love how everyone seems to have someone. 
Where are you my fellow who will remain anonymous? 
Come out from your hiding.
Come and find me.
I am ready for your steadiness that my beating heart is needing and longing.

Bump into me, sit next to me, 
I truly won’t mind,
And I promise I won’t bite.

Mr. Anonymous, I really want to know you. 
I truly want to show you
What my outside may not convey. 

Mr. Anonymous, please walk my way.

With your swagger, 
I may stagger when you approach,
But that is my nervousness which surfaces 
That I have no control over. 

With a charming smile you wlll breach 
That will make me want to fall weak to my knees.

Rescue me, Mr. Anonymous,
I will gladly let you set me free.

The In-Between

And what is this?
This to which I refuse to admit. 

Uncertainty. 
Need of clarity.
Dispense my life from this 
Which is 
Unnecessary.

Hate. 
Love. 
And the line where these two meet. 

Me.
Stuck.
In-between. 
Uneasy. 
Cannot breath.

But you, 
Cannot 
And do not have the authority, 
The right 
To question. 

Let me be.
And you shall see,
Why you have led me to this
Which is 
The silence of 
The in-between.

Let Go

I had to let her go
It was beyond my control
I wanted to keep her
I guess for my own selfish reasons
Sometimes I want to press rewind
I should've made her mine
But now I'm a father
I have responsibilities
I have a daughter
I couldn't give her what she needed
I couldn't give her what she deserved, 
Even though she never pleaded.
When I met her she was so full of energy
But over time, I realized I was no good for her
I changed her...


He changed me
Before him I was full of life
He awakened other things in me
Doubt, insecurity, jealousy
Those just aren't me
But I loved him
He was all that I knew
So I thought loving him was something I had to do
He hurt me plenty
I forgave him many
But it still didn't work
So I had to let him go


Again I said I had to let her go
It aches knowing she will end up with someone who isn't me
I've made this decision
I've made my own prison
She gave me life
She gave me energy
But now I see I took that from her
I left her empty
But ironically, to this day, she still holds a piece of me


He still holds a piece of me
Even though God has made me whole again
He holds a piece that no other guy can ever get
It contains our happy times
Video games, late nights
Good times
But something he won't have is me
Who I am now
The woman I'm meant to be
Yes, he changed me
Because with him, I lost myself
Now I'm found
All the pain, confusion, lies
It's all worth it


I hope it's worth it
I hope my daughter grows up right because I stayed
I hope I can find a happiness like her in my daughter's mom
I'm trying
But sometimes I feel like I'm lying
Because my daughter's mom will never be like her
I can't expect her to be
I wish the woman of my dreams the best
I missed out
I missed out...


He missed out
But thanks to him letting me go
I am ready for the man of my dreams.
Strong, stable, steady
And don't forget funny
And last but not least...

Someone who will never give up on me.

Faded Memory

I miss you, 
Even though you hurt me
I miss you, 
Even though you left me 

It’s been a year 
But the pain still remains
Tainted visions of you being here 

Sometimes, I wish it was a dream 
Wasn’t real
All the pain, 
All the hurt, 
I don’t want to feel

Even though it’s numb now, 
I still can't think about you too much
Because the ache in my heart can’t take the punch

I wish I still didn’t remember how you feel
I wish you were just my imagination,
Unreal 

But you’re somewhere, with someone, living another life
And I’m here with no one, trying to be alright.

I pray to God every night, 
To bring me someone who won’t leave 
And who will fight for me,
All the things you didn’t do 

And all the people here that remember you, 
They don’t know you like I do, 
They don’t know what you put me through
They don’t know that you took my heart and stomped on it
That it’s taken me so long to get over it

Faded, 
Jaded, 
It’s the only way I can deal
 
I do have a clean slate, 
But sadly, 
Honestly, 
The mark you made, 
Can’t be erased 

So I’ll let this be, 
My bittersweet faded memory...

Brick

You front like you are hollow.
Emotionless.
All your crude language about women sickens me.

However, deep DEEP down 
Beneath the brick-casing that surrounds you, 
Feelings and fears exist. 

My intuition speaks to me
Because I can see your soul through those enticing greenish eyes
Which is the reason why I hold on to you so dear...

I can see through your seeming disguise.
Mr. I-just-want-to-be-a-guy
Mr. I-don't-care
Mr. I-am-not-going-to-tell-you-if-I-have-feelings-for-you-or-not
I can see through your lies.

If you could just feel what I am feeling
See what I see 
Or you could just be real with me.
As simple as that.

The brick that surrounds you is keeping a friendship from growing
A possible romance from developing 
And keeping me from showing you my sincerity. 

Do you know that I could possibly hold the key 
That unlocks the chains 
Surrounding the brick 
Incasing your heart
That I long to know?

Two Birds

You are who you are. 
I am who I am. 
Two different birds,
Soaring separately,
Who always seem to cross paths.

You sing your own distinct tune,
While I sing mine.
Though, our songs seem to ironically harmonize.

Sometimes our meetings lead to a crash. 
But somehow, the winds carry us gently back. 

You have your life.
I have mine.
Nevertheless, our lives seem to intertwine.

Some may call this fate, 
Others, a coincidence. 
But through the years of coexisting
I could not picture how my life would be 
If the wind had never carried me back to you.

Years and years of denying,
And months of seemingly trying,
I can now confidently say that your presence is meant to stay.

Whatever lesson our meetings are supposed to teach me,
I am ready and willing to learn. 
Deep down I know, this, will resolve itself. 

But for now, we are just two separate birds
That will somehow, someway, someday connect.
Then we will sing our unique songs harmoniously,
And fly into the depth of the ocean sky,
Together.

In Fate's Hands

As of yesterday,
As of today, 
As of this minute, 
Bravery has conquered my mind, body, and soul. 
I am ready to let you fly away from me.

Maybe this is not our time.
Maybe your rhythm does not fit my rhyme. 
Maybe, just maybe this is our end. 
I can no longer play pretend.

Whatever the possibility is, 
The overanalyzing, 
The contemplating, 
The longing
Stops here. 

See, I have held on to idea of you for too long 
Clarity and reality have taken it's place.

You know what they say 
“If you love something 
Set it free 
If it comes back 
Then it is meant to be” 

You have made this flight thousands of times, 
But this shall be your last.

I will set you free,
From my thoughts,
From my heart, 
From my life.
If fate does not bring you back, 
Then there is the long-awaited answer for me. 
You are just not my destiny.

Thank You

If I could tell him one thing
One thing
I'd tell him thank you

Thank you for hurting me
Thank you for bringing out my insecurity
Thank you for leaving me
Thank you for turning my world upside down
Thank you for making me lose myself
Thank you for turning this smile into a frown

Because if you didn't do that
I wouldn't have found who I truly am
I wouldn't know how much I am worth
I wouldn't know what it feels like to be hurt

Because now I am a woman full of strength
A woman who turns to God,
No man can take His place
A woman who seeks Him first
A woman who knows she is a sinner,
And still has some work

As much as I never thought I would recover
I have
And I have no regrets about the times we had

I'm sure he wouldn't expect me to say this
And he may not understand
But the next time I see him,
I'd say
"You may not be my man
You are the one who brought me where I am"

So that's what I would tell him
If I could tell him one thing
Just one thing
I'd tell him
Years have passed,
Two to be exact
I just want to say
Thank you
