Meeting an old friend...

Trigger warning: this contains sensitive topics (suicide, death, depression) that may cause some people discomfort. 


Part I: The penultimate conversation.

Hello, old friend, we meet again.
Sit with me, please, like the old days.
Listen to the words I cannot say;
unburden myself until none remains.

I have forgotten about you for a while.
I was free from memories of the past.
For a minute, I found my reason to smile,
But I was a fool for thinking it would last.

Thank you for coming to see me tonight.
This time, I don't think I will change my mind.
It's different from that night with the knife
where , you watched from the mirror, as I chose life.

This time I am finally ready.
I finally conquered my fear of heights.
It is time I take my final flight.
Until it's over, will you stay tonight?

Part II: Cacophony of an errant mind.

I feel  cold from the rain-soaked floor
as I stood at the edge with my back to the door.
Old friend, will you hold my hand until it's time?
Help pacify this errant mind of mine.

I took a deep breath and looked at your eyes.
Is this finally peace, as you gave a gentle smile?
Years of build up anger, fear and shame
as I let go, my innocence reclaimed.

These few seconds felt like an eternity
Tears surged up dredging buried nemories.
All the lies told every day spent pretending;
the pressures of perfection that became a burden;
the apathy that slowly killed from within;
the love given and was later on forsaken;
the truth of betrayal that shattered me to pieces.
Finally free as I slowly fade from consciousness

Pagsumamo

Nais kong muling marinig ang iyong tinig
habang ang pangalan ko ay sinasambit.
Minsan pang pag hawakin ang mga kamay
at sa himig ng ating pag ibig ay sumayaw.
Muling maramdaman ang yakap na mahigpit
habang sabay ang puso natin sa pag pintig
May mga pagsubok man sa daan ay humadlang
kahit ano pa ay kaya nating pagtagumpayan.
Kung ano man ang mga naging pag kukulang
magkasama, kaya natin tong pagtulungan.
Ating kalimutan ang masasakit na pangyayari
at ating unti unting itama ang mga pagkakamali.
Kung hindi man natin kayang ibalik and dati,
ating bigyan ng pagkakataong makapagsimula muli.
At sa panahong tayo ay mag babaliktanaw,
ang alalahanin natin ang masasayang araw.

Minahal kita simula pa ng una.
Hindi ito nagbago, bagkus lumalim pa.
Ang tanging pakiusap ko ngayon,
kung ano man ang meron tayo, mabigyan pa ng pagkakataon.
