Untitled 4

Sometimes, the mantra
"Lalaki ka lang. Kayang-kaya kitang palitan.
slides easily like butter off my tongue. 
It is a lip service that is paid and uttered
 through a mask of indifference and pride.

But at three in the morning,
in the midst of the silence and solitude,
I let go of the farce.

The mask is shattered,
the bits and pieces of reality lay by my feet.

I find that my heart is scalded,
and etched with tears
for what was,
for what could have been.

And I whisper an admission to my aloneness:

"Mahal na mahal ko pa rin siya."

  4. Sometimes sarap isipin na matapang tayo, na naka-move na di na affected.. =)

    When we least expect it.. boom! Siguro totoo din.. we can move on.. from the situation.. but not really from the person nor the feelings lalo na pag nagmahal ka ng totoo..
