In a million ceramic pieces
in a thousand shards of tears
falls your place of honour
falls into a den of fears
where is your reason now
where is your justice
could you absolve somehow
the sins that you embellish

Its really over(really?)
You made your stand
You got me crying(a lot)
As was your plan(I knew it all along)
But when my loneliness is through(kelan kaya yun...)
Im gonna find another you
You take your sweaters(you got your shirt na right?)
You take your time
You might have your reasons(good ones)
But you will never have my rhyme(and I have a lot baby)
Im gonna sing my way away from blue(a little dancin too)
Im gonna find another you
When I was your lover
No one else will do(you know its true)
And if Im forced to find another(IF)
I hope she looks like you
and she's nicer too(or you could be nicer and itd still be you...)
So go on, baby(boo?)
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company(andami ko nun...)
And just gave yours all away
Now Im gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new(me and Cati...)
Im gonna do some things you wouldnt let me do
(like txt while driving and play with the soil)
Im gonna find another you(most probably not)
(bitterness never sounded sooo good)
Many thanks to the master, John Mayer
For the longest time
I thought bravery was the absence of fear
the headlong rush
into overwhelming odds
against overwhelming foes
I thought bravery was
the eternity of hope
to eternally prevail
against insurmountable darkness
to accept the unseen
all the while I forgot
that there is bravery
in a falling leaf
in a fallen seed
to be stricken with heat
and battered with rain
to be reborn again
maybe, there is bravery
in surrender
How does it feel
How does it feel
to have the tables turned
to have the places reversed
to be the one sought after
to be the one dreams are built around
i'ts you now
who holds the power
to make hearts cringe
to make tears fall
Tonight I lose my great love
To a person
To a sin
To a memory
Tonight I lose my heart
To the destiny
Of a million souls
Of a million stars
Strewn across
A thousand galaxies
And a hundred dreams
Tonight I lose my soul
To a yesterday
Of countless shadows
To a tomorrow
Of a multitude of tears
Eager to fall
Tonight I lose myself
And in losing bound myself
To the chains of great love
Brandished with the name
Of one who can give both
Unparalleled joy
And matchless pain
The echoes bounce of the walls
Silent screams of silent hearts
permitted
the walls attune themselves
to the murmurs of a tragic soul
and
provide comfort
with their concrete grasp
I embrace them
welcoming the warmth of stone in twilight
rather than lay cold under a blanket of stars
it's much like a star now
glimmering a million leagues away
present and eternal
that shines even without
being chosen to be seen
a silent echo
through a canopy of dream
Now is where our hearts reside
yours in pride and freedom
mine in thorns and stains
there was once then
where your and mine
walked hand in hand
then there is later
where you promised pain
and I embraced it
...I know
its over
and we wasted it
our vows
our promises
and a million pixels
worth of memories
one thing I don't get
...if I was the one who left
why am I the one still here?
...if I was the one who ended it
why am I the one who still loves?
To her who gives dust
for others to soar to heights
whose love comes unreturned
now she silenty cries
all the happy thoughts
in the world
couldn't make Tinkerbell fly
I long to really hate you
to vent out anger
and to hold nothing back
to scream against the howling wind saying...
I gave you my all!
I held nothing back!
I deserve a little respect!
I deserve a little time!
I'm more than what you see me,
worth more than your sullen silence!
but in the end
in the night
love envelops me again
and I am powerless against it
for beneath all thE rage
is pain
and love
here is my parting gift to you
one that you always asked for
I leave it to you
abounding in love
and an equal amount of pain
miss me
at para di ka magsawa
Standing in this
shower of untruth
drenched in a cacophany
of sheltered lies
empty words
and vacant kisses
realizing that held hands
were corpses
dead in the decay
of a thousand seasons
bearing the wind of a
hundred broken promises
and corrupted oaths
eto sa iyo
nagpapataba ng sarili sa mga halina at pagsuyo
lumalamon ng puri at nagtatakam ng pansin
ngunit sa lalim ng iyong mga plastik na ngiti
nananaig ang iyong kapangitan
binabalot mo ang sarili sa mga hibla
na gawa sa salamin
pinalilibutan ka ng mga imahen ng iyong sarili
at nang mga hugis ng tao na dumarapa sa harapan mo
dahil ang hiling mo lamang ay ang sarili mo
at ang pansin na binibuhos sa iyo
parang krudo
kelangan mo upang tumakbo
upang umilaw
sayang ang dati mong kagandahan
ngayon ni hindi ka na abutan
at ang mga dati mong inaasahan
ay dahan-dahan nang
magkakandawalaan
Eto na ba ang tunay na ikaw?
The evening used to be full of sorrow
As if the stars themselves were weeping
Twilight tears
And moonlit drops
I used to fear the waking dawn
Where morning clouds would signal
The advent of another day
Bearing a lonely wind
Or a silent telephone
Maybe the sight of me in your shadow
Has become too tiring
Or the sound of a hundred broken promises
Became too loud
And needed to be
Silenced
Along with phrases of “I love you”
And “forever”
Yet I don’t think I’ll ever reach
Goodbye
It is too impossible now
For as far as you are
From me
I carry myself along with you
The tear that you cause
I fill with you
So that my heart ails
And heals
Together because
Of you
On rain that cripples
the earth
and leaves time for watching drops
and far-off thoughts
it leaves you vulnerable
to truths unconsidered
or pains repressed
it opens choices unrecognized
now naked after the afternoon rain
and chosen then
in the silent evening pain
...sige na
you win
and your award
is my absence
