"Masculine"

He never understood the wild beating of his heart
nor the pain when it was torn apart
he never understood much of his emotions
he just deal with them in  varying situations

as a young boy he didn't have the privilege of expressing
as the trait was deemed feminine
so now grown up, alone in the wild
he never knew how to express anything inside

binded in the shackles of masculinity
his other interests were disregarded completely
he loved cooking, sewing and painting unicorns
but in the end, he's forced into sports

and when it was the the time the boy fell in love
he never learned how to express his feelings
he always try to appear rude and absurd
as it was how he was raised in terms of expression

so in the end love was out of reach for him
as every chance he had with a girl was slim
and when he had a chance for love
he always finds a way to mess it up

so now grown up, as a broken adult
and was criticized by those responsible for his result
the audacity of those who have broken him
are the ones to first condemn

Pagitan.

Ang kandilang sinindihan ay ay namatay na
sa tagal ng panahon na ito'y nakasindi
natagalan man nito ang malalakas na ihip ng hangin
siya na rin ang kumitil sa sariling buhay niya

nawalan ng amoy ang mga bulaklak
napaltan na ng luha ang bawat halakhak
at sa pagbabalik sa mga lugar na nagdala ng galak
ay nagdudulot na ng sindak na tila may sibat sa puso na nakatarak

matagal na panahon na nga ang lumipas
kahit ang pinakamatingkad ay kukupas
sa pagitan ng pagkikita at paglisan
alaala na lang ang naiwan

mula sa "ikaw ang pahinga ko"
nauwi rin sa "pagod na ko sayo"
sa pagitan ng mga salitang binitawan
ay isang habang buhay na panghihinayang
