So there it goes
The first heartbreak story
to unfold
After all that we gave
we still caved in
to the cold
Left...Right...
Is leaving you the right
thing to do this time?
Left...Right...
Have I left behind the
one thing that makes me alright?
So let's not forget
the nights we spent
in bliss
If yesterday's all gone
We'll always have
that kiss
Left...Right...
Is leaving you the right
thing to do this time?
Left...Right...
Have I left behind the
one thing that makes me alright?
At least for now
The hurting soon will cease
At least for now
You will no longer be missed

| irrelevance |
nothing surprises you anymore
nothing no longer excites
the nothingness comforts
and awkwardly enlights
illusions kept you
from breaking down
even with facing the truth
dunce cone is still your crown
"clearly manifest"
has no meaning anymore
in your world of make believe
reality has never been ashore
When did it come to this?
you're now neither crazy, nor beautiful
trying to say you're not jaded
when you felt things have been more than cruel

| Fallacy of Fantasy |
Whoever said ignorance is bliss
Surely is the genius of our time
Emptiness of the mind and the heart is,
whether you admit or not,
the best thing, the most sublime
'Knowing is everything'
is the fallacy
'Feeling is enough'
is the fantasy
The insane is the one
to whom envy is most due
for they feel the superlatives
of everything on which we have no clue
No one could imagine how
Hate, sorrow, pain
Are seen through their eyes
Whether of apathy or disdain
Oh consummate apathy!
What wonder and desire I have for thee
To see nothing, to feel nothing
Even if faced with all the beauty
The beauty of the superb poetry
Of other's lies and fazed sympathy.

| Hopefully, A Steadfast Solace |
sat on by Viveyonce
Now little doll
You got what you wanted
Witnessed the grandiose act
You've been waiting for you to realize
That this is...bliss
After all the heartbreaks
All the loose ends now tied
And all the hurt over and done with
The biggest change
Is now welcomed and basked in
And for the tin soldier
Who marched into the doll's path
Whisked her away to solace
Solace that for the first time
Is not in her solitude, but in his embrace
Giving "chance" a chance,
Letting go of all that confuse,
Giving love what have always been it's due,
and letting everything be at it's place...
The little doll
Now finally can say
Love is indeed great
Love can be without blur
Love is, from hereon, in the marches of the tin drummer.
For allan :)

Marami ng nawala
marami ng nagbago
Ang dating hinahanap
Ngayo'y naguumapaw,
Ngayo'y nalalango.
Ang puso'y dating kay init
Ngayo'y nawala na
Alab at ligalig
Di na tumitibok
Di na pumipintig
Para bang ang batang dati kay saya
Ngayon nagmistula nang
Manika, nagiisa sa isang tabi
Nakaupo at nakitingin na lang hangin

| "To my friend Fear, he will always be remembered" |
The ferris wheel
Spinning its enchantment
Whirling with it
The memory of you and me
I asked to not go
I asked to just stay and watch you from a distance
But you won’t allow it
You held my hand, your pulse in mine
The thrill of finally succumbing
Submitting to the unknown and daunting
And with that push you gave me
I will always be grateful
But the courage you gave me
That wonderful gift of breaking boundaries
Has never been spent on you
Even if sometimes I think I needed to
It won’t be in vain though
For that gift would now realize its purpose
Now that I am ready, now that I can
With a new prince to hold my hand

| Fatally Innocent |
"Nothing is more useful than to adopt the status of a child: A child can do whatever it likes, for it is innocent and inexperienced; it need not observe the rules of social behaviour for it has not yet entered a world ruled by form; it may show its feelings, whether they are appropriate or not. People who refused to see the child in Bettina used to say that she was crack-brained (once, while dancing with joy, she fell and knocked her her head against the corner of a table), badly brought up ( in society she would sit on the floor rather than a chair), and, especially, catastrophically unnatural. On the other hand, those willing to see her as an eternal child were bewitched by her natural spontaneity.
Goethe was moved by the child. She reminded him of his own youth, and he gave Bettina a beautiful ring as a present. That evening, he noted tersely in his diary: Mamsel Brentano."
-Milan Kundera, Immortality (1991)
