Glimpse of An Angel

In deep long nights I quietly reminisce
How different worlds came to collide
A simple hi-hello to capture me
And the rest just found its place


The large space is significant
Yet the structures are not even noticeable
Within those pillars lie a companion with a soul
And as the ink blots, see how even more beautiful it has grown


Through the rising and setting of the sun and moon
Someone makes me feel I’m one in a million
The secrets shared and the not-so-secrets unraveled
The laughter and the tears, the memories of a beautiful friendship


And in this bittersweet life of mine
I had a glimpse of an angel
An angel who started sharing life with me
An angel holding my hand through this journey


Her sweet name paints a smile
It gently tickles my young heart
You need not ask me who
For the angel’s name is YOU.

Worth the Fight

These countless arguments are sometimes overrated
We waste so much energy at things so unreasonable
How could you fathom doing stupid things just to hurt me?
And I get even just to end up getting so much pain in my heart.


I sometimes lose my composure
And so many breathable words come out to sting
You force to fake silence so not to care
I hate to get mad on something that absolutely gets me


I burn in hot tears and my mind gets perplexed
My heart feels ever so empty with rage
You still stay in front of me with a hostile air
And I’d break down when you’d choose to go away


Sorry is now a word so hard to say
And even harder to ask with sincerity
Yet I have to break the walls so you can listen
Our fights are disturbing 
yet it’s always been because I’m fighting for you.

Pushing the Edge

I helplessly indulge myself with so much hate I could even puke
My hands tremble as I hold the phone against my ear
I push the right buttons and wait for the ring to go off
It feels like forever because you never want to answer

I could hear the heavens screaming this overwhelming hatred inside
The fires of hell burns a reflection in my own eyes
Do you need me to spell it out to put some sense in you?
I hate you and everything we do

Love was such a wonderful feeling for innocence
And yet this tainted heart of mine can no longer pretend
I took a deep dive into the unknown when I got burnt
Your lies destroy everything beautiful in my world

My eyes drown in a turbulent flow of hot tears
I should taste your blood to conquer all the misery
I can no longer utter sweetness to your ears
We are one reality I bite with remorse

You make me scribble all the wrong things
You push everything to the edge
You make me want to suffocate my breath
And yet you are still the love of my life.

Numb

I hate every inch of these scribbled words
Stinging pungently inside my mind for quite a time
Even the taste of disgust is in my lips
In letting you know what I keep in this heart of mine

Language has composure when it comes to you
There’s always a reason to hold my tongue
My mind is much stronger than my heart
Yet the thought of you haunts in the silence of the dark

It’s even deadly disturbing how I want you
For reasons vaguely kept in my world
Your personality is hard to paint
This atmosphere does not work even if I’m blunt

Nature will not and cannot lie
The outside bubble may even say I’m crazy
Yet they do not see what I see
Every time my eyes set glance at your way

Your choice of words and the little things you do
And even if you stay frozen in a split second
I like just the way you carry yourself
Yet you are not sensitive enough.

Til Tomorrow

If I were not to see the light tomorrow
I’m dying to let the inside reach you
But either with breath or unbound
What you feel will spark immortal

If I were not to hold your face tomorrow
It is not such a dreadful loss
I dreamt of you long before
And you will remain alive in my world forever

If I were not to taste the sweetness of those lips tomorrow
I am closing my eyes tonight
Holding to that one single bliss I first felt
I’d be bringing in this eternal journey of mine

If I were not to speak to you tomorrow
I’d like to let you know
Your voice is unforgettably soothing
And will always resound in my endless sleep

If I were not to be with you tomorrow
The reason why the ink blots against this piece of writing
My eyes swell with tears with a thought of you
Don’t fret for I never felt this way ‘til we met.

The Shade of Blue

The shade of blue looks so good on you
You are an eyesore amongst the hazy crowd
Ironically even when you face your back
I still find you so damn hot!

The hours flit so slowly
I don’t feel existence when you’re around
I don’t confuse a heartache inside me
Yet I can’t help not getting mad at you

A part of me draws near in any way
Yet my name isn’t a part of your vocabulary
Your world revolves around an axis yet outside my universe
I hate to realize the awful truth of you not noticing me.

You

You made see how boring it could be
I felt it was worthless
But it was also you
Who made me see the colors between black and white

You made me feel the boundaries
I wanted to reach the sky
But it was also you
Who made me feel I had wings

You made me feel how it was in the dark
I’d never been so scared
But it was also you
Who made me feel how it was to fight back

You made me taste dreadful sadness
I realized I somehow get stupid
But it was also you
Who made me taste happiness

You made me see the flaws
I wanted to pretend deaf
But it was also you
Who made me see contentment in myself

You made me see how pride plays
I cried for denial
But it was also you
Who made me see what’s real

You taught me how to doubt
It was so hard to jump
But it was also you
Who taught me how to trust

You taught me how to hide
I was learning quite well
But it was also you
Who taught me how to see the truth in lies


You made me see how it was to be lonely
Your existence was so strong
But it was also you
Who made me see why the sun shines

You taught me how to get hurt
Forgiveness was scarce
But it was also you
Who taught me how to love

You taught me hard to change
I was so stubborn to bend
But it was also you
Who taught me how to live

You made me feel how pain burns
I could even die from it
But it was also you
Who made me feel life itself

Yes, it was you
And it still is you.

My First and Only

In this crazy world
With different faces you see
Guys have their own ways
Making you fall for the games they play

I leaned in actual
I even had my plots
But though I was aware
I still got hurt

They fell and I laughed
I was an insensitive figure
But tears burned inside
I wonder if they ever knew that

I never thought it’d happen
Rejection was my weapon
But as the days passed
It defeated the wall

I never thought it could still heal
But you proved me wrong
I never thought I could still find someone
Who could love me for real

I wish I knew you’d come
So I could have just waited
‘Cause if I did
I wouldn’t get my heart broken

In this crazy world
With a lot of deceiving
I just wish you were the first and only guy
I truly fell in love with.

I Still Wait

Tonight seems rather deep
And the air feels colder
The visions vivid to set voices unclear
Everything yet a sigh is a blur.

It’s a nice feeling
And yet I should not be here
The croaking toads in harmony
Time is making it all wrong.

I laugh and smile
Harder ways to hide
This place grows hostility
Hostility etched in me.

Your infuriated heart is kept carefully
And what am I doing with mine?
We’re both caught in complexity
I’m so tired keeping my sanity.

Time has passed me
You are in your late night class
The serenading crickets start to play
Why aren’t you home yet?

The night is so long
Can someone make eternity to wait?
Looking back what has been gone
I’m so burning cold tonight.

Someone

She’s not an inch away from me
But I see her in obscurity
Her eyes are speaking
Yet it’s hard to say

No change at all
I can even hold her
And yet she refuses
I can’t catch her thoughts

I understand with patience
I try to find the words
But what the ink blots isn’t enough
To paint what’s in her heart

She breathes with a smile
And closes her eyes
The time she opens them
She sees you still

The day can be a bore
But quite not for her
She thinks of you everytime
So could you lend her her thoughts for a while?

How could she deal
With something she couldn’t accept?
How could she fight
A feeling that already defeated her?

How could she explain
Something unexplainable as love?
How could she reason
Something that has no answers?

And so I thought…

Love can be annoying
To someone at work
It can be painful
To someone dumped like junk

Love can teach hostility
To someone broken
It can be a glimpse of insanity
To someone with a fragile mind

Yet it is something beautiful
Something sweet and bliss
To someone I know…
- someone who is in love with you –
…and that would be me.
