Betraying My Heart

pondering the thought
to kiss you
or to walk away

all i've wanted
was to savor
your sweet lips

i can't make up my mind
between what is right
and what i want

walking away
is what i'm going to do
to save you from breaking your heart

You're My Reason to Try

when everything is falling
and everyone is leaving
i sit here lost without hope

the light keeps on fading
i keep on thinking
will i ever get out of here

when all seems to be shattered
you come along
and give me a reason to try

with the strength that is left
i get up on my feet
to fight for one more time

waves of your smile
washes the darkness away
leaving behind footprints of love

Me the Poet

come here let me tell you something
it's a bit about how i started to write
my poetry might not be oscar worthy
but it's better than paris hilton's songs

i've got a lot of stuff in my head
so i thought that i should jot them down
it's not always what your folks approve
but hey! it's what's in my head

you can call me pervy
sleazy or dreamy
even brokenhearted at times
but i know that you can relate

i'm not trying to be a robert frost
or a 2pac clone
i'm just giving my thoughts a voice
is there anything wrong with that?

Why the Sudden Interest?

what's with the change of tone
why do you try to sound like you care
don't say that i ruined our future
how can you say i threw it all away

why the sudden interest
is it because
you saw me with someone else

we were over
long time ago
though none of us admitted
afraid to leave our comfort zones

stop trying to relive the past
we are no more
hope you get the message
and stop acting like you care
it's a bit too late for that

Running into a Storm

with you on my right
and her on my left
i keep running into
a big storm

maybe it's strange
that i am not quitting
putting myself through
all this trouble

i don't feel any sadness
only embracing the bitterness
and expecting more heartaches
to fuel up these emotions

maybe i'm tired
of everything being perfect
to be smooth sailing
through life

so let the storm come
and roughen up the sea

Hiding Sun

the sun is hiding behind the clouds today
it's all gloomy in here
and i'm cuddling under the sheets alone
wishing you were here

the alarm keeps going off
and i don't want to shut it off
it's what brings me back to reality
from a galaxy of thoughts about you

it feels good for a moment
to sink in those memories of you and me
but i crossed that ocean long time ago
and i am not going back

I Won't Be Your Beggar

she calls me a stranger
when i call her my angel
and i can't figure out
how to change her mind

she asks me to leave her
when i want to stay here
all tangled up
with her

my patience is running out
and maybe i should leave
but it is hard
to get her off my mind

as much as i love her
i can't be a beggar
so if this is the end
i'll pack up and leave

The Other Guy

i'm the one that she comes to
when her guy doesn't give her attention
and then she spends time with me
because she likes the way i treat her

when he doesn't talk to her
she comes to me to make conversation
when he doesn't make love to her
she comes to me to get satisfaction

but then she leaves me
once her guy comes around
and when he wants her back

i'm left with nothing
except the pleasurable memories
that she and i made together

and i can't ask for more than that
because i'm the other guy

I'm No Superhero

i can't fly
or break down buildings
i might not be able to run
faster than a speeding train

because i'm no superhero
nor an angel
but that won't stop me
trying to fix things

to make sure that everyone's alright
i'll keep trying
till everything works out
for the better

putting my life on hold
so that i can see more smiles
on the faces
of those whom i love

Not Mine

i saw her leaving the bar
with him
his arms wrapped around her

i turn around to talk to my date
so that i'd distract myself
from thinking about her

his lips on hers
his hands on her hips
these thoughts invade my mind

i look away
and think to myself
why i always desire
someone else's girl

Love is Gone

would you listen to me
if i said that i have something to say
if you don't want to talk
i understand

i used all my chances
i'm not here to give excuses
one proper conversation
one last kiss
is all i need

i'm not trying to hold on to this
i just need closure
my only hope is we move onto something better
because love left us long time ago

Make Up or Break Up

if we don't spend
tonight together
it's over
baby it's over

you keep giving excuses
give it up and come clean
who's that other guy
don't tell me there's no one

stop webbing stories
to find a way out of this
you've run out of chances

so choose tonight
it's either
make up
or break up

Think Twice

think twice please
before you leave again
i know that i am flawed
let's try to work things out

the first time you left
my heart broke to bits
and it was your love
which put me back together

but if i break it one more time
i know that it can't be fixed
so think twice please
before you leave again

Is It Wrong to Miss You?

i wait for your call
or a simple text message
i keep thinking of
what you are doing during the day

when i get hold of you on the phone
i don't feel like keeping the phone
the text messages that i get
i don't delete for a few days

is it wrong
for me to do this
is it wrong
for me to miss you

i guess it's wrong
when you are someone else's
so i bury these things
to have you have you as a friend

Neighbor Girl

early morning
i wake up to get a glimpse of you
i make an excuse
to come over to your house

your brother ain't much of a talker
but i try to make conversation
so that i get to see you
reading your favorite book

i can tell when you are having a bad day
that's when i try to crack a joke
most of them are lame i know
still it makes you smile

a smile
as bright as the sun
that lightens up my day

i eagerly wait
to see you again
my neighbor girl

Goodbye My Brother

you went away
without a warning
we shared everything
but this you did not

i go to the court
to play some ball
but where's my friend
who passed me the ball

i got into fights
without hesitation
because i knew
i had my back covered

now it seems
i've lost my shadow
goodbye my brother
you'll always live
in my memories

You Are Not What I Like

you are not what i like
you are bossy
too naggy
and i hate it when you are bitchy

just because you have the looks
or because every guy wants you
they aren't good enough reasons
for me to like you

can't have a conversation
you start talking about your riches
only the sex is good i admit
but everything else is bad

time to take a stance
to do what makes me happy
i'm leaving you for good
because you aren't what i like

When We Were Young

we dreamt of growing up
to do our own jobs
and be independent
when we were young

now we've all grown up
trying to reach our goals
i can't stop thinking
how simple life was
when we were young

no responsibilities
no worrying about the future
a carefree life we lived
full of laughter

so when i'm crushed between work
i go back to my childhood memories
then for a minute or two
all my troubles go away

Leaving Without a Goodbye

we knew it had to end
before we even got started
still,
i'll always cherish
what we had

your presence
always brought a smile to my face
a glimpse of you
turned my bad days to good

we were supposed to meet for one last time
to say our goodbyes
but here i am on a plane
leaving without a goodbye

Doing What's Right

always try to do what's right
things to make you smile
i sacrifice my time
to do these things for you

i don't mind
putting my life on hold
to do what it takes
to make you happy

but it gets harder
to keep going like this
when all you do
is make me feel,
like i've fell short

Full Moon on a Long Dark Night

unexpectedly involved,
while tangled up in bed
the risk i took
was fruitful

nervous i was
when i reached for your lips
and when you kissed me back
i was overwhelmed with joy

you were like a full moon
after a long dark night
though time wasn't on our side
i'm glad how things turned out

i'm going far away
uncertain when i'll be back
but memories of you
would always make me smile

I've Changed

grew up listening to backstreet boys
now i listen to fallout boy
used to believe there was only one to love
but now i'm learning to spread the love

it's funny how things have changed
all those things that i believed
i can't find them,
in my head anymore

i used to like strawberry cheese cake
but now i like a different kind of cake
my tastes have changed
so have my thoughts

maybe this is growing up
you learn and change from what you've put up
in time i hope i'll be fine
like a bottle of good wine

Lonely Valentine

everywhere he looks
it's roses, cupids and hearts
things he used to cherish
but not so anymore

he turns on the tv
to distract himself
but all that he can see
are couples and their tales

valentines day is here
that's what all the buzz is about
time to celebrate love

but all he can feel
is sadness and grief
his love went away
to fly among the clouds
with her she took away
the happiness in his life

this lonely valentine
is lost without his love
he looks to the clouds
in hope to find his love

Come Back Home

come back home
come to me
it's been long
since you've gone

i've stopped keeping track of time
there's not enough room,
in this head of mine
to keep a count of all the days
that have passed

everything is like
when you left
the only thing,
that's changed
is the month and date
i'd keep them the same too
if i could

i'm trying hard
to keep things the same
but i'm starting to feel
that i'm going insane

come back home
come to me
before i go
far away
