To Live and to Unlive

How do I unlive
If my life is incomplete?
Yes, I have eyes-
Eyes devoid of light.
It was Death which resides
In them; The same Death
You conquered; The same Death
Which awaits me in the end.
So how do I unlive when
Death is in me already?

How do I live
If I have to repeat
The same mistakes
Over and over?
Life is what you gave me
In the beginning; The same Life
You'd promised; The same Life
I want to have with you always.
So how do I live when
in this life, I am unworthy?

Lend me your eyes then
That I may see; I wish to see
The love my rotten eyes failed
To see; Take my heart in return
And be the content of it.
Be the content of it and live
Inside it, so that my heart
Would burst and remove Death
That lives within me; The very
Death that makes me unworthy.

Sa Tuwing Ipipikit Ko ang Aking mga Mata

Sa tuwing ipipikit ko ang aking mga mata, Nakikita ko ang iyong mukha At aking napagtatanto kung paano Kinatay ng pera, trabaho at mga tao Ang pagkamalikhain ko.

Sa tuwing ipipikit ko ang aking mga mata Nakikita ko ang iyong mukha At ang sinsasabi sakin ng iyong mga mata: "Mahal, maging malaya ka. Maging malaya ka na.&qu

Flame

Breathless under a starless night sky And bathing in the remnants of your monstrosity I emerge in pink grime and filth Of your never ending brutality. I hate you- yes I do hate you, Nevertheless, I also love you With a love doomed for destruction, With a star-crossed love so evil and dangerous. My verdict to my own is death For a sin it is to possess a passion- All consuming and ill- governed, A passion that destroys all. But though with burning heart I once knew gentle and good things And I had once loved them Before this self-murderous devotion. Let me rest, my heart's all burned And I am left in the wreckage of my love. For a demon, a monster. And I, a ruin.
