Writings of the Heart


Recommended Posts

Cover me in comfort, cover me in peace.

Stand up, sit down, walk along, be mine.

This street is watching me from afar.


The sky is darker than my past.

Leaves don't move, numbness everywhere.

The mood is so quiet and peaceful,

Later i know it will be over soon.


The rain fails to impress me,

would you even care to try?

My breath gets heavier,

I think you are getting nearby.


This shade is a haven,

the dirt joins my waiting,

I hope you would touch me,

Just like this fly that don't want to leave me.


05:30, 0626, will this be the end?

or will this be the beginning to the end?

Hopes are higher than this red tower.


5:35, the rain soon won over,

company of 3, it's getting interesting.

How long will I or should I be waiting...

BREATHE.

You are going to be okay.

Breathe and remember that you've been in this place before.

You've been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you've survived.

Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can't break you.

They are painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass.

Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll be back at this moment and laugh for having doubted you resilience.

I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

(inspired by a vampire themed movie)


My throat is clogging out,

i can't swallow you in my mouth.

To drink your blood is i desire,

you'll scream a lot, I'll make you cry.


It's like having dreams watching you sleep.

Let's climb up high to the top of that peak.

I'll carry you in my world today,

I can't resist to see you everyday.


Your hair, it smells like the cold.

Made me lived, let my blood flow.

I was built in ice but you set me on fire,

this skin is burning to make you mine.


Your blood is my refuge and life,

I don't know how to live forever without you by my side.

This lullaby will be played in the moon.

I hope you will agree, to marry me soon....

-ACT I


It was everything he thought,

the stars had fallen and he had caught.

Those sweet smiles he finally sees,

and it was all he wanted it to be.


The moment he held her hand without resistance,

It gave him the best and everlasting chance,

but then she gave him that unrelenting glance,

but it didn't matter to him, he felt like he was in France.


That pizza was so disgusting for him and her,

but then it gave them reason to smile together.

He felt that both of them that time were so free,

and he hoped and prayed that moment would last forever.


The bus ride is long and quiet.

His confidence is puzzled, yet he don't feel innocent.

What he felt from her was real.

Is it really just mercy that she feels?

-ACT II


His world stopped at that ocean metro,

and that dancing jellies goes along perfectly with the maestro.

He looked at her and he saw hope.

It was the first time he saw her this happy, he could bite a rope.


He looked again at her face.

And he saw a never ending grace.

His hopes & confidence grew stronger,

he feels that this one year of waiting will be over.


The words "just do what you wanna do" from her text soon followed.

And made it clear that all his waiting will turn to gold.

His heart jumps over and over and over a lot.

He was too happy, he can create anyone a story with a great plot.


He told her he is nearing to a year of waiting,

then she asked him "why? are you now tired of pursuing?"

It raises his smile so high to the clouds,

Even the angels in heaven will be so proud.


It was a challenge worth of all the sacrifices,

and its coming, he felt it, with a lot of praises.

And then the change of calendar came,

He never ever had an idea it would all be put to shame.

i got this from The Philippine Star a couple of years back, can't remember who wrote it though...THIN, LONG WIRERobert was finishing off the last bites of the stale egg and cucumber sandwich his mum made him for lunch when he looked at the time. It had been a rough morning at work; with him finding out that he had to submit all the paper reports that afternoon. He frowned. And after mentally insulting the food, he put a small pillow behind his head and leaned back on the chair. Putting his feet up, he lit a cigarette.It has been three weeks now and he still could not get Dana off his mind. He was such an idiot, he thought, for having fallen in love with an attached woman. And he was a total bastard, he knew, for letting her go. He was sick and tired of seeing her every five minutes on his work table, and suddenly, he was glad that he had a lot of grinding to do.Robert had met her five months ago in a mall parking garage. He had just bought some canned fruits for his mum and was just about to get going when he dropped the bags on the floor, seeing that he had left his car keys inside the locked vehicle.Dana, whose car was parked alongside his, was also leaving at the time. And after letting the expletives fly, he slapped his forehead hard. Apparently, it was loud enough to catch a stare from her.“p#tang$na! Buwiset!” he said.“Hoy! Wala naman kasalanan nanay mo sa’yo, noh! Wag mo murahin!” she joked.“Ano bang paki mo?”“Amina nga! Tabi dyan!” she moved and brushed him aside.She took out a thin, long wire from her handbag and after several minutes of prying the windows ajar, she successfully hooked onto the lock and pulled it up. She smiled and nervously handed the wire to a flustered Robert.“Bakit ka may ganito? Carnapper ka ba? Hehehe! Maraming salamat, ha?”“Well, yeah. Sideline ko yan eh. Pero oks lang yun. Madami akong ganyan actually sa bahay eh. Sobrang dalas ko na naiiwan susi ko sa loob ng kotse kaya nagpagawa na ‘ko ng mga wire,” she said.“Ah, okay. Er, I’m Robert, by the way. Thanks uli. Can I show my appreciation by treating you to a meal? Have you eaten already?”“Ay naku! Tempting pero hindi na. Yung boyfriend ko manlilibre daw sa akin ngayon eh. Next time na lang, Robert. I’m Dana nga pala.”“Nice to meet you. O, siya! Alis na ako. Hinihintay ng mummy ko itong prutas eh. Ingat ka and I can’t thank you enough.”“Hehehe. Sige! ‘Tago mo yang wire. Feeling ko kakailanganin mo ulit yan very soon, eh”Just as soon as he was geared to reverse, Robert heard a soft tap on his window. It was Dana.“O bakit? Did you change your mind about the free lunch?” he asked.“Er, not exactly. But can I borrow back the wire I gave you for a second? I uhm...”So they had been close friends since then. They went out to movies, dinners and such. And he even met Dana’s boyfriend Edward, whom he really thought was a very good lad for her at the time.“They’re both so lucky to have each other!” he once said aloud.In any case, like many other “innocent friendships” between a boy and a girl, the frequency of their “platonic meetings” and phone calls eventually took its toll. Whereas in the past, their pet names for each other were usually “sis” and “buddy”, it was later upgraded to “dear”.His friends knew that it would lead to this, but naturally, nobody had the guts (or the brains) to tell him. And Robert, for all his jaded emotions, first felt this kind of sensation after Dana had a fight with her beau.“It’s no one’s fault, Dana. Talagang may tampuhan sa mga relationships.”“Yeah? Eh bakit parang nag-iba sya months after sagutin ko sya?”“I don’t know. Only you can answer that, my dear.” Robert said.“Ewan ko ba! I’m getting tired of this. I still love Edward, pero it’s getting to a point na nagsasawa na ako sa mga away namin.”“Well hang in there, dearie. Fight for love despite the obstacles.”Robert choked as he said that, for he was now feeling more than just sympathy for the friend who had helped him unlock his car a few months ago. He eventually felt deep resentment towards Edward, because he felt that the guy was kind of shallow to get angry over the fact that Dana wore spaghetti straps to parties. Her sense of style should be hers and no one else’s, he once thought.And even though he ached to openly express what he really wanted, he felt it was none of his business, so he kept his mouth shut.It was only after her fourth argument with her boyfriend in less than a month did he have the courage to tell her off.“Eh bakit ka pa pumapayag na awayin ka nya ng ganyan?” he furiously asked.“Because we’re together. And I still love him.”“Then why do you complain about him all the time to me? I’m getting a bit tired of this Edward s@%t, Dana! I can’t stand to see you cry all the time!”“I’m sorry! But if only you came first... Pero ikaw kasi ang friend ko!” she sobbed.Now there was a twist!“Listen, I’ve been wanting to tell you something, but I’ve been afraid it would only give you more problems.”“Ano yon?”“Uhm...”“Out with it, Robert!”“I, uh... I think I’m falling for somebody who can unlock a car with a thin wire.”“What!?” Dana shouted.“I’m so sorry, my friend. But I wanted you to know that. I know the timing is s@%t and all, but...”Now there was an even bigger twist.“I’m really sorry, Dana.” He couldn’t even look at her when he said that.“Oh, Robert! If only you came first!”Their talk was cut short when she heard her mobile phone ring. They both knew who it was and with that, Robert gave her a hug and left. He felt sick to his stomach. He was so selfish, he thought, for having spilled his guts to Dana when she already had enough problems as it was. He slapped his forehead hard. Apparently, it was loud enough to catch stares from several bystanders.In his heart he felt Dana liked him, too. And that even added to his emotional pain. As the weeks passed, he stopped calling her. He would rarely answer her text messages. And if he did, it was always straight to the point – no flowery words whatsoever. She, on the other hand, naturally noticed the change in Robert, and it hurt both of them.This was the only way, he thought, to fight the feelings he was having over the last month. He knew he couldn’t have her, so what was the point of risking it all? No way was he going to “steal” Dana from her Beau because he thought it was too illicit and too devastating for Edward to handle – no matter how much he hated the bastard. Besides, he didn’t want her to leave Edward for him in the first place. He had never been a cause of a bitter breakup before. And there was really no reason to start now. That was, until they accidentally bumped into each other in a grocery store.“Buying more canned fruits for your mother?” Dana tapped him on the shoulder.“Hoy! Kamusta na? How’s everything? How’s Edward?”“Ayun. Ganun pa din. But we’re trying to compromise and...”“So he’s allowing you to wear spaghetti straps na?” he jokingly asked.“Hey! Why did we stop talking and hanging out? Dahil ba sa akin?” she sadly asked him.Robert sighed. It had been more than a month since she last saw her. And he thought his feelings for her had subsided. But right now, he wanted to smack himself in the ass because he was still in love with the girl. He realized now it was more than just a silly crush. It was real love (or whatever).“Yes, Dana. It was because of you.”“Is that right?”“Kasi tuwing magkasama tayo, I just can’t help but fall for your wicked charms. That’s why you must forgive me if I’m avoiding you. It’s for the best.”“Robert.”“And I’m sorry if I had to be so honest with you about how I really felt. I should’ve just kept it to myself.”“Rob...”“I also don’t want to be the cause of any breakups. Alam mo, I really care for...”“Robert!”“Huh? Ano? Bakit?”“I-I’m falling for you, too.”“What?!”“I started to miss you when we stopped communicating. And it was then that I knew I needed you a lot. Sounds selfish doesn’t it? But hey, pareho naman tayo eh.” Her eyes were watery, but she tried to smile.Robert fixed his gaze on her. He was both happy and sad at the same time. He touched her hair softly and carefully handed her a handkerchief. He felt glad that Dana somehow kind of felt the same way he did about her. But he also felt remorse for being a burden on such a nice girl. And it was time to set things straight. He owed her at least that.“Dana, do you love Edward?” he asked.“Yes.”“Do you love me as well?”“Uhm...”“Ano?”“Yes,” she meekly replied.“I guess it would be stupid to ask you who you like more, huh?”“Oh Robert. I don’t know what to do. Please tell me. If only you came first.”“Dana, I’ve never regretted ever knowing you. In fact, I’m thankful that I do. But it’s wrong for me to step in when you’re having fits with Edward, because it would be biased against the relationship itself. Do you understand, sis?”“What happened to ‘dear,’?”“The thing is, you loved him for the man that he was. And as much as I would regret saying this, I feel that you’re as in love with the idiot now as you were before. And anyway, I’m just here to mess things up.”Dana’s eyes narrowed with confusion.“So what are you saying?” she innocently asked.“I’m saying that we shouldn’t hang out anymore.”“But we’re friends!”“And it’s very hard for both of us to stay that way when we’re together!”“Robert...”“I really love you, girlie. Kaya I’m letting you go. I’m stepping aside and I’m sure that one day you’ll thank me for all this.” He said.“I love you too, buddy.”“Now promise me you’ll be happy again, okay?” It sounded plastic, he thought, but he didn’t give the slightest damn.“I’ll try. Thank you, dear. If only...”“I came first. Yes, I know. Now run along. Bibili pa ako ng prutas para sa nanay ko eh.”That was the last time they ever saw or spoke to one another.He was now starting to get back to work as he threw the cigarette in the trash bin. In his mind, he could now see Dana going back to being who she was before he came along. He had lost the game, he knew, but he was relieved to be out of the situation. Robert smiled. If he could give up an honest friendship to make someone he loves happy and free, then maybe he wasn’t such a selfish bastard after all, he thought.With that, he pulled out the thin, long wire, which Dana had given him many months ago. And except for the memories, it was probably the last remnant of Dana that remained with him. So after taking one last look at it, he pried his office windows open and threw it out. “I better start learning how to make myself one of those,” he said.-o0 END 0o-

Touching indeed

-FINAL ACT


Then the day came, when they agreed to talk,

his feeling sick but it doesn't matter, today he is a Hulk.

He picked her up and everything felt normal,

he had no idea that the next thing would be brutal.


he agreed that she just want this conversation to be short,

& then he began to realize, "will this slit my throat?"

the dinner was also short, then she started to reveal all,

his mighty red tower started to fall.


"from the 1st day until this day, my feelings never changed", she said.

That he cannot be the one, his efforts were just wasted.

The moments they are together were just all part of a trial,

and she still don't feel him, and it was never a denial.


His world collapses, he felt so insensitive.

It was all his fault, he listened to his false hopes.

This falling star doesn't light anymore,

"Can you add pain in me some more?".


- FINALE


"Its over, you ended me...

This false hope, i am so blind to see...

It was always you i would like to fall....

but you were never there - to catch me at all....

I cried as I watched you leave today. I didn’t want you to know, but I couldn’t stop myself. I know in your heart you felt it too. Did I ever tell you you’re my hero? You are everything I wish I could be. You are my hero and I am proud of you and your courage and your strength. Come home soon to me. I am waiting on you. Forever in my heart, a kiss forever on my lips, and they are for you only. I will think of you every hour. I miss you terribly. I love you.

things are just ain't right,

falling for u then gives me a lot of might.

We tried to enjoy this borrowed time,

and we feel love and happiness all the time.


But suddenly things were drifting apart,

no wonder why you left me alone in the dark.

but I know it's just part of this life,

just like when you cut me like a knife.


and i bleed...


sure it will heal,

i'll just close my eyes, so i wont feel.

and I wont need your caring arms ever,

For you and I is surely over.


Its good for us both, i feel better now of what i wrote.

thank you for making me feel special, i'll still be right here no matter what kind of trials.

I wont hold a grudge for my heart is not made to bend

you'l always be a friend, I guess well help each other still, in the end.
