solitary solace

THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY

The sun sets never shone
Darkness filled the day
People walk even run
I stand still, so still

Silence was loud
Screams were mute
Colors disappeared
Gray was overdue

I sleep but still awake
When awake I dream
Dreams were alive
Reality was a dream

My eyes were dry
Tears overflow
My heart was numb
Loneliness and pain ruled

My mind can’t think
Your memories linger
I am strong
Too strong to be weak

You lifted me up
But pushed me down
You were with me
But now so far

You made me whole
But broken me much more
You let me live
But soon gave me death

WHAT WE HATE ABOUT LOVE

Love is fair
But unreasonable
It is natural
But so ironic

Love is bliss
But full of sadness
It is heart warming
But heart breaking

Love conquers all
But can be conquered
It binds two hearts
But may leave them apart

Love is exciting
But sometimes uninspiring
It makes you sane
But you go crazy

Love is patient and kind
But uncontrollable and cruel
It brings respect
But may also reject

Love is beautiful
But sometimes nasty
It is meant to be forever
But may be a fling

Love is love
But we hate whom we love
It is hate
But we love whom we hate

FORGET ME NOT

We’ve been classmates for a semester
And been friends since then
Knowing you for barely 2 months
Never thought we’ll be close that much
Sharing stories and chismis
Having lunch breaks and a movie
Talking for hours in any way
Even reviewing for exams over the day
Tons of memories were created
And these are still cherished
Now that we’re apart
I miss you a lot
Every strum in the guitar seems to be music
Every second of the day we’re together is bliss
The glances and even stares at me
A sweet hug will be a nice dream
All the biglang smiles
Or kilig moments as you’ve described
The text messages you send when you’re away
We realized that we got used to each other anyway
I believe in all the things you’ve said
Coz I respect and trust you my dear friend
You said that I’ve affected your life in good ways
As an inspiration in many ways
Because of the happiness we had
We promised to stay as what we were then
I think the promise is slowly breaking
But remember I’m still holding
I want you to know that I won’t let go
Of all the memories we’ve built with much ado
I hope that you will do the same
Treasure me and never forget my name

CONSTANTLY
– Nina –

I knew it was there
Though I tried to hide it
The feeling just kept on shining through
Haven’t known you that long
So I try to deny it
But the feeling was much too
Much too strong

Could this be love
Deep down inside
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart

Constantly, you’re on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can’t sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking ‘bout you

Why do I feel this way
When I know you have someone
That you’re seeing each and everyday
Should I play this game
Of just being your friend but i know that’s not where I want it to end

How could this be wrong
When it feels so strong
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
No I don’t want to start
No trouble
Between you and I and you lover
But I must tell you what I’m going through
Everytime you walk by
I see love in your eyes
