Warrior's Damsel

You knew what I have become,

that I'm tired being the damsel in distress,

that I've learned to fight like a warrior too, 

that I'm ready to bleed in the battle.


I have known what you are capable of, 

just to protect me at all cost, 

just to express the deepness of your love,

just to give me a beautiful life.


We were built for war and peace, 

the paradox of our realities,

or the reality of our paradoxes, 

the hurt among the comforts.


But please bear this in mind,

You, brave one, can also cling on me,

I, too, will do everything to protect you,

We can survive, for I will, bleed for you too.

Ethereal

I heard you cry and beg for my life, 

like it was something so precious and fine. 

I've felt the pureness of your desperation, 

a plead that reached my soul and became one with yours. 


And perhaps, you made Heaven glance at you and I,

because everytime I'm supposed to leave this life,

your prayers resurrect me before I even die.

And for that, perhaps, you will always be my Ethereal,


A love that expands to the realm of heaven and beyond,

something I could not grasp yet remains realest of all,

a heart that sees the impure so precious and fine,

that I am worth saving all the time.


But, you, my Ethereal, will always be,

always, the one precious and fine.

Preempt

Hahayaan kitang lumisan,

Kahit mga mata ko'y 'di ka pipigilan, 

Pero alam kong pagdudusahan ko 'to,

Nang mahabang panahon...




...o maaaring hindi matapos

Stayed and Waited

If you're going to ask me what kept me going

or how I survived the chaos I've faced,

It's because someone told me:


"Just stay where you are,

I'll come for you,

I'll be there."


And that's all I did,

Stayed and waited,

and if you are wondering if he arrived:


he did,

he always does,

and always will.
